are they still in business ? i called and called and called no one answer or get back to me

i am trying to buy a water pump for my 20 maybe i can get it somewhere else if anyone knows another place that have them in stock closer to the east cost that phase2

I have kinda wondered this myself. They _used_ to have a webstore (via Yahoo!) but when you go to it, there is no catalog and there is nothing when you 'search'. Hope they are still around..

Sean is still around. Just an extremely busy guy. Last week he got back to me about an N1 oil pump. He used ebay to sell it to me. Last week he had several water pumps on ebay for $75.00. They are not there in his listing now though.http://motors.search.ebay.com/...ports

Sean does call back. You just have to be patient with him. Keep checking his ebay store.http://stores.ebay.com/shogunmotorsports

Yes sean is an excellentguyto work with, he can get you anything you need even rare, hard to find items and he will get everything for you for a great price. I believe he took the yahoo store down because it never seemed to work properly so you just kinda have to keep trying to get in touch with him. I try to only order from him, thats how much i love dealing with him. We are currently working on a build, as soon as its complete we will post a thread with what all was involved and say all that we got from sean. Just of the top of my head we've recieved a greddy manifold, clear timing belt cover, crank collar, oil pump, gasket set, and all kinds of other necessities. So yea, he is worth the wait.

I got mine from courtesyparts.com, great price. At the time everyone else was selling them for like 140 bucks.

Here is a link to the Courtesy pump. I've kept it in my favorites for a while.

Looks like they are out of stock at the moment.

the couple dollars he knocked off the price of my item was definitely not worth having my project put on hold for close to 4 months. yes, supposedly he's trying to work it out and get me my part, but there's no excusing a 4 month wait. i'm really starting to get annoyed with this, he's (they're) not getting my part to me, and from what everyone is saying, they're ignoring everyone else also. seems like a trend is starting to emerge.

Ummm, let's keep our OEM part sales with the advertisers who support our forums.

I can guarantee you that ANYTHING Courtesy can do, our guys can do better.

Don't ignore the fact that Courtesy has made it very clear that they're not interested in NICO or what we do...

[annie4rb20]

They're awesome. I contacted Sean through e-mail and got back to me w/in the day. He put up that auction for the waterpump last week, bought it on Sunday, and got it today

I won't tell my story, but you could say I had to go to TakaraMotors' higher ups to get my replacement part after waiting 3 weeks with no clue what was going on.

[RPS13-RB25]

sorry about that, i'm quite the noob and wasn't aware that courtesy wasn't a sponsor and was so against it.

i understand that takara is a sponsor of nico, but i'm not sure why the poilteness continues. someone down there has been screwing up for a while now, in some way or another. it seems that on every forum i visit, there's at least one or two threads about takara and how they've not delivered where they promised to, whether its in customer service or the actual products. i'm just curious about why i'm one of the very few people who have actually said 'don't buy from takara'. is it seriously only because nico might lose one sponsor? if that's the case, that's kind of sad. people need to be aware of the fact that something weird is going on and at the very least, until things get straightened out, don't give them your money. i don't know why i've taken such offense to this and am now trying to say something about it, maybe i just don't want to see anyone else be stuck in a position that i and many other people are in.. even if its over one small product.

[blk90s13]

wow

all i wanted to know if they are hard to get in touch with but now i guess i will be buying my parts somewhere else

thanks for your input all
