HEY SPEC I HEARD YOU WERE GETTING SCREWED BECAUSE THE CLIP WAS A BAD ONE, IS THAT TRUE?

WELL ANYWAY WHO IS ORDERING FROM VENUS?

I HAVE PERSONALLY HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM, ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T DONE MY INITIAL TEARDOWN YET. THEY SHIPPED THE CLIP A DAY AHEAD OF TIME AND IT WAS IN PHOENIX BEFORE I EVEN RECIEVED A TRACKING NUMBER. I GOT A CALL SAYING THAT ITS IN THE WAREHOUSE AND TO COME AND PICK IT UP BY SATURDAY. :ylsuper

Well at first I was like **** THEM, but I have to look at the good side. I can wait awhile longer and get a clip that "MAY" not be junk, or they could have sent me somethign they KNEW was junk. Still, they didnt know BEFORE I overnighted them a check. I find that hard to believe. I am over it now. Just waiting. NOw if July 3rd comes and I have no RB20 shipped to me, I will cuss everybody I talk to over there out....LOL I was nice this time. Vicky was cool. BUt if I get ****ed again, Im raising some hell

More ****age.

I call Venus to tell them I will wait. They have a shipment coming in on the 1 or 2nd of July. Good and all BUUUUUUT they are closing the shop until the 10th. SOOO, my RB20 wont be mailed until then. Oh and as far as haording...wont happen. They have two and one of them is supposedly mine. Problem is mcadam is helping me install it. Well that is good and all, but I am going on vacation on the 28th of July. And that is pushing it. When I get back, I wil be home for 7 days, then I go TX for two weeks for training. So I am gone the whole month of August and he leaves at the end of Aug. LOL This cant get ANY better. And to think I had a perfectly good running 1991 DOHC and I paid 150 bucks for it......LOL I crack myself up. NO I HAD TO HAVE AN RB20. I couldnt rubo my KA. OH NO THAT WOULDNT MAKE SENSE. :oface

*done ranting and *****ing now*

this story is crazy

I am sitting at Denny's with my daughter wating for my wife in the parking lot. Anyway this guy somes up to my window (i didnt see him coming). He says what year is your 240. I was like 1990 (after I jumped). he goes on to tell me this story about how his daughter hit some **** and he wants to sell the car for parts. I'll give you the car for 300 BUCKS. I was like **** yeah. So me and a friend go check it out. 1991 Coupe. 300 bucks. I want the engine...my friend wants the bumper. So we go half. I gut the interior and keep the engine. He takes the bumper and steering wheel and some brake relates hit. So I got a full interior and 91 DOHC for 150. I attempted the swap, got a headache....removed the cams..sold them...made my money back and had it hauled off after repeatedly beating the **** out of everything. The swap intimidated me because it was my first. I had no help. So i said **** it. The farthest I got was getting the upper harness off, power steering disconnected, radiator removed. Samll ****. LOL. Lucky for me Mcadam is helping on my RB if I ever get the ****ing thing
