Don't send them your money... please. We don't want to have to comfort you when you get ripped off...

we need to find a way to order something from them and then delay payment.....get tons of free stuff, even if it is rusted and busted.

or we could tell the malaysian police that they have been smuggling drugs in their engines

Ok guys lets be a bit more seriorus:

Wicked,

The reason you been getting these responses is 'cuz they have a poor reputation.

I dont belive them to be actual scammers, in the sense that they intend to abscond with money, but they are known for messing up orders, sending the wrong stuff and often thier gear is of poor quality.

A couple of guys have gotten lucky and gotten exactly what they paid for, in a timely fashion but that is an exception.

It is generally accepted here, that it is better to spend the extra $200 and go to a more established vendor like:mvpmotorsportsenjukuphase2

etc.

You are likely to get better stuff, fasater with less hassle and less of a chance at disaster.

Fred..

I can indirectly vouch for Flashoption's low quality of service. A friend of mine back in the states built up his 240 last year. He ordered an Red-top SR20DET from them and it took 6 Months to get!! He was told that "there were problems with shipping", so he had to go to the closest harbor, which is Baltimore for him, and pick it up even thought he paid for shipping to his business. Once he was there customs gave him all kinds of crap, and weren't going to let him take it at first. After they finally let him have it, they wouldn't use the forklift to put it in the back of his truck "for insurance reasons", fearing that they may damage his truck. He had to argue some more then sign some papers waivering any damages which may occur (there were none...) during loading. Yeah... big hassle. From what I gather they're very disorganized and not too reliable.
