When I bought my TRD clutch from him I talked to him on the phone and confirmed price and delivery etc. I followed up with a fax to the number on his site.

I waited and waited... about 5 weeks later rang him to enquire and his response was "what order?". He gave some BS excuse about the number on his website being his home fax number and his kids must have got it. WTF? I'm faxing my credit card number through to a fax where kids have access to screw about with it?

The car was apart all this time and I got no discount or priority shipping. All very unprofessional IMHO, I won't deal with him again. Parts are cheaper elsewhere anyway, I just went straight to the source in the hope of rapid service.

This can be compared to where I bought my Bilstein shocks from in the US. (www.offroadwarehouse.com). Cheapest price I found on the internet but they were backordered by Bilstein USA. I waited about 4 months and when they finally got them (delays beyond their control) they sent them out international courier instead of the surface I had paid for. They lost a bundle of cash selling me those shocks due to the shipping, but I'll be going back.

hmmm. killing small animals feels sooo good! should I do it ? 8O


Anyway, back on topic, I got random bits too. Some TOMS, Apexi, garret, Greddy, JE, Blitz etc.

Depends on wot u need the part for, and wot part / brand best suits your needs / budget, to get the job done.

Yeah, that shop is pretty cool.

That's where my TRD horn button came from. Whoever had my car before me had put some rice 'da bomb' horn button in the momo steering wheel, so it desperately needed replacing!! 8)
