I ordered a hotshot header for my 240 last friday...7 days ago... and still dont have confirmation! Thankyou for your order! A confirmation email will be sent within the next 48 hours. 7 days later...no confirmation!

I called the place and the guy said they had to order it from Hotshot and hes been leaving messages with hotshot daily and hasnt reached them yet. I was hoping to have it by today or possibly even saturday. Would have even been happy to have it by like tuesday! I guess thats not happening...

Anyway, thanx for letting me vent!

This is all im waiting on for my engine rebuild and unfortunatly my bro already trashed my old header so i cant even throw that one on till the new one comes.

Im kinda thinking that if it is taking a 48 hour process in excess of 7 days to be done that i may be waiting about a month for this as well. Meanwhile im stuck driving my moms Mazda 626 with the JDM wheelchair in the trunk!

I just called again and the guy said he still hasnt heard from Hotshot???????

Its been a week and all he wants to do is place an order? Are the people at Hotshot really this slow? Do they not want anymore business? If i could just get a timeframe on when to expect the damn thing i would be ok but i dont even know if they have gotten the order yet.

Then to top it off...i just called them and get their message saying sorry we arnt open on fridays saturdays or sundays so now i get to wait all the way till prolly tuesday. I have emailed, called, im out of options.

You think if i wrote the president he would bomb Hotshot off the map?

Yeah, waiting sucks. I ordered an engine and waited three weeks only to hear that they couldn't sell me one... back to searching.

If you don't want to wait check the b/s/t forum. Thanks to Ghost_Silvia for shipping my smic so quickly!

I know how that feels. I waited for some rims and after 6 months of waiting I was told that they just went out of production.

Hell, I've been waiting on a shipment of bypass valves from AEM for a month now so it's not just the consumers. If I were any closer to CA I'd just go to the factory and make my own.

I've been there too. I was in on the group buy for Attain hubs from UMS. It took about 6 months for them to cross the ocean. I would have been so pissed if something had happened to that boat!
