Hey about the fmic you sent me, I talked to ups and they said they give tracking #'s on everything. And it still hasn't shown up. You haven't picked up the phone the last couple times I have tried calling you. So please let me know what is going on with this. If you need my addy please let me know. Thanks,

I was just there on thursday and it was gone... it was usps not ups I'm sorry I told you the later. I don't know whats going on with it I let my friend handle it, Remember I gave it to you and your aren't paying anything, just like the motor mounts I Gave to you and even paid shipping on, I was on the phone both times you called which is why I haven't answered. I told you everything I know I can only go by what my friend told me and you really should consider yourself lucky instead of expect things because I don't know many people who would send you a $400 mount kit, pay the shipping, and send a FMIC for free not expecting anything from you! Like I said my friend said he'd take care of it and it looks like he did, I can only go by what I know.

It's cool, just trying to find out. Cause I told my buddy he could have it once it got here. And he keeps asking me about it. He is trying to get his car done by nopi nats. in ATL. I know I sound ungreatful for the things that you have done for me, but I do thank you so much. I'm just trying to help my buddy out now. Thanks and sorry.

I'm sorry for coming off the way I did.... I'm just under Unbelievable stress right now and I'll try and get to the bottom of the situation when my friends calls me back. I'll see if he can find anything out and I'll see if he has anything to compensate for it so I can send it out to you.

So you blew up a good turbo that was rebuilt and balanced? or was it just a used turbo like the stock one?

It was a used turbo of a 30k km clip...... That comment was a joke tied in with my frustration, if I had the time and means to continue on with the rb project I would but I decided to go with a z and v8.

Does that radiator and fans just bolt in? As in, will they just go into my S14 easily?

Not sure if you're parting out still.

Thanks,Nick
