update!! they have now guaranteed my motor to be here in 2-3 weeks or my money back. this kinda makes me feel better even though its only words. i talked to who ever 'claimed' to be the owner of FO, and he sounded very surprised that its taken this long to ship my motor. he also said that he has alot of unreliable employees that will probably get fired after all this mess. i know that this means very little, but at least it keeps hope alive. maybe i wont install the ka for the time being.

man, this is almost funny. its been a month since they guaranteed my motor in two weeks. hehehe they say since my motor is in the US they wont give a refund. the thing is, i dont have any way of getting ahold of whoever has it. they gave me a bunk phone#, soooo i guess im screwed. this thing with brian still aint solved, im just getting screwed all over the place. if any of you guys want me to send you money for no good reason, email me, ill be the one bent over waiting for a good plowin'.

"they say since my motor is in the US they wont give a refund"

...what's their point? The motor they promised you isn't sitting on your doorstep. I don't care where the **** in the U.S. it is. That's rediculous.

Good Luck!

Is there any legal action you can take? If so, might be good to start something so you either get your clip or get your money back! This isn't right, man. Call them every day and make sure you are heard...

yep, this thread is back!! i found out today that my motor is definitely in cali. there are 2 containers there from flashoptions. the first's motors are being sent out in a few days. the second(the one mine is in) will be dispersed in a couple of weeks. SO IM FINALLY GONNA GET IT!!!! all it takes now is time and money for the broker fees and everything. whenever i get it, it will be up for sale. btw, its a complete 180sx front clip.

From all crap I've heard about flashoptions, I'm kind of suprised you've actually gotten your motor. I'm starting to get the impression that it just takes them forever to get it over and shove it through customs...

180sx......sorry guys. but it is very complete. everything in front of the seats minus the battery, radio and wheels. it has after market horns and a chipped ecu too, along with the factory front lip. i just went to visit it, i connected a battery, and it cranks over and all lights and other stuff work(i didnt start it due to lack of fuel pump and gas)
