Where are they in Atl? I'm down here and i'll go check em out. I'm lookin to either replace my turbo sohc or get another 89-90/240sx/ 510 to drop a Ca in. I personally think we all need to go check most of these companies out first hand before ordering sh*t. It'll cut out alot frustration in the end when we do have probs with our product. Engine on hand or not how a co. keeps the shop/office is a reflection of how they handle business.

why cant they just sell CA18 and RB25 clips at Walmart? Imagine the fierce price competition Walmart would put up. That would be awesome!

A couple years ago, a company selling rotary engines from Japan got ripped off hardcore. They used to take people to their warehose to show them the engine they purchased. One night, most of them were stolen. That's probably t he reason why Flashoptions dosen't want you knowing where it is...

yeah but its common pratice for places to let you see a motor before you buy it if your close enough to visit the shop. At least from what i have seen (although i probably shouldnt talk, i bought my motor before seeing it :D)

I don't know if the warehouse is really open. I doubt it though. To get an idea where this guy (flashoption owner) is coming from check out this email he sent thinking he was sending to someone else. Email was in response to query on an SR20DET clip back on 17 Jul 03.

Reply from Flashoptions:

Bad stuff, worst my reputation is going down dude, to be honest, i'm young and you know that, i open my own warehouse, get my own motors in japan, i bought over flashoptions for USD8400.00 basically the ownership of fountain futures sdn bhd / and the heavy cost of the website. Holy **** man! Well yes sure dude, we're partners i'm giving you almost cost price but i have to cover my cost of the warehouse too only.Your job is to sell and split profits remember. This is the price of it. USD1022.10 ( i got them cheap so i'll charge you cheap for this) #2 in stock I almost sold everything to the michigan guy and he's a wealthy old man, I'm shifting warehouse, next time you make a trip here, i hope you can see the total good looks of the warehouse, u're a part of this, i'm partnering in malaysia with an investor , my original shipper i use , very good buddy, he'll help in everyway for me, i love that a lot. Hope to hear from you soon.Gavin

Update: I've been talking to Robert Abeyta and my engine is on rail to boston. They've screwed me quite a bit though. I was told 1530 shipped to my local port and it's coming out to about 2030 now due to all the fees that they were supposed to pay but won't now because they lost money shipping engines to the wong countries!

Anyway, get in touch with me if you've had the same problems... I really want to do something about this.

Wow, that blows. I've heard many bad things about flashoption. It would be great if you guys would include pics of the motorset once you guys recieve it!

at least you guys have been ginen something-i think that they still have my name screwed up and robert will not know who to call about it-i don't know if the info can be changed at port but they are extremely unreceptive to any talk about refund at this point-they are extremely attimate that my clip is here-but that remains to be seen!!
