More of the same I see.

Might not be a bad idea for them to change their name, fire their supplier, hire some folks who speak English and start all over.

For what it's worth, they will NEVER be welcome here as an advertiser. Not after reading those emails to Kouki.

Never. Period.

I have not got the motor running to be honest its still sitting in the crate, after I fully unwrapped it The rust that I had first thought was the thermo housing was on the intake manifold,,, completely deteriorated..Horrible condition..If someone asked me to guess mileage on a motor that looked this way maybe,,170-200k. Like I said at first It wouldnt suprise me if this motor was trashed..

I remember looking around a FO awhile back seeing the cheap prices good thing you guys spoke up about their bad service, it really sucks that you spend the money on engine and get a box of rust in return. i was on their site and look at this high quality engine and you can buy the body panels too! but why is the hood mold green and note that yummy rust under the hood. Kinda looks like it fell out of the cargo container into the ocean and a week later they pulled it out and stuck it back on the boat:)

at least somebody has recieved something-i ordered my sr20 clip on march 6 2003-still nothing-i recent emailed them with 3 options-refund-send a new clip-or provide the paperwork necessary to allow one of the two clips through that are stuck in customs-

their reply is that they will do nothing and that i was just out of luck!!

after many long hours of searching i may have found a neans to an end-the american embassy in malaysia

link- http://usembassymalaysia.org.my/link to us citizen services and follow to commercial services

or by telephone(the easiest way)-011-60-32-168-5000 and ask for commerce office

i have just started this process but the more complaints the better

please forward this to or cut and paste it to all others that everyone might know that are in similar situations

so...bumpity bump. Flash options suck. I think i might get into a lengthy campain with them to order containers full of clips. ask tons of questions...get quotes re-qouted over and over. bug them endlessly, then back out at the last moment.

Im not sure about a law suit because keep in mind the laws we have against crap like this over here might not apply in Malaysia (if they even have laws and it doesnt seem like they do).

I would recommend we all (like myself) write letters to , Super Street, Sport compact, Import Tuner, and every mag we can think of and preach the word.....

The only way to hurt these a$$holes is to destroy their business,, I told FO in my last e-mai lthat when I was done they wouldnt be able to sell ice cubes in hell, and I intend on putting all the effort into doing that, that I did earning the money they ripped me for...

i got screwed threw FO, i filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Comission. they have something for overseas business. its not like the BBB, which i believe is only in the US. BUt i like the idea of writing to all of the import mags from everyone that has been screwed, and try to get something published in the mag. about it.

i have fieled complaints with the ftc, fbi and an internet based watch-dog group-all of these make databases of complaints and watch for trends-they do not try to remedy problems that have already occoured-after enough complaints they might prevent the company from importing to the us.

i have found that through the us embassy they have the resources necessary to make these companies comply to us laws and regulations. they have access to malaysian law and lawyers that can make a recovery a reality.

please call or email the embassy so that they will see just how many people are in this situation ans they can help to put a stop to this

the more people the better-email send or refer people to this site

Mr Lieberman has the necessary contacts needed to take this to the next level.Or we could just sit around typing stuff in the forum and let FO keep screwing our fellow enthusiasts...

Whatever he does is his decisionbut im sure FO will take him a bit more seriously than they have me.....

I didnt want t ohave to ask for his assistance but they keep sending me e-mails full of BS and Im done.

Wow, post a couple more and I think you will win an award....

3 nitrous bottles instead of a front seat in a Skyline is just plain rice, get over it.

That was mighty nice to try to smack me around a little in 17 different posts, then say lets stay on topic....if I remember right, it was YOU who brought up Craig Leiberman.... All I was doing was trying to find out why you were dropping Uncle Ben's name like you were in the service together....

Relax buddy, it sucks you got screwed, I am strongly behind you getting what you deserve, just dont act like "Mr. Leiberman" is the end all be all of the imnport scene...he had his time and decided to go the route of rice instead of staying true to what he helped start. He went for big money instead of big respect and that's fine, he made his choice and I respect that.

2 words explains my opinion(good or bad, its still mine).....

WASHED UP.

Please respond in another 32 posts how I was wrong. I am done with this topic and good luck in your quest. I truly hope "Mr. Leiberman" is able to help you out some, his name just doesnt impress me like it does you.

WHatever buddy, I didnt know that you were the person that decided the limitations for posts.Youve got my e-mail why not make your smart *** comments there and leave this post for information that might be useful to someone trying to get something about getting screwed by companies running Shady operations..

Thats the reason I posted this If you have a problem then just read a different topic than mine from now on.
