One of the headaches of these cars is obtaining parts. Both aftermarket and factory, this has become an increasingly bigger headache it seems. People either take their sweet time sending parts, or have a million excuses. Honestly can say only two members have handled transactions like adults.
Ordered a new compressor, dryer, and relay from Eddie on March 6th. If I recall correctly it was about a two week delay on orders. This is fine, and I sent both PM's and an email (never received a reply) asking for an approximate time frame of when everything would ship. I work out of town for extended periods and prefer not having packages sitting on my doorstep.
After about 5 weeks of no communication I called on a Friday (Apr 6th) and was told it was being sent that Monday. Dawned on me earlier this week that I still hadn't received anything. Called again on the 25th and was told it would be assembled and shipped. Was given an excuse as to the delay, which left me annoyed.
Box showed up today and I got the compressor/dryer, but alas no relay (wtf?). Checked the site to see if it was by chance on back order, shows they are in stock. Invoice shows the compressor was checked off, and a D/S written next to the relay. No idea what that means, and pretty mad nothing was mentioned about my not receiving a relay if it is in fact out of stock.
So I am now left debating if I want to actually install this compressor or send it back out of principal. Don't like doing business with a company that requires me to track my items down, and then not receive everything. Unfortunate since I had planned on ordering a set of his air bags when they hit production. I will be making a decision on if I will install this one and calling on Monday since apparently PM and email aren't viable options.
On a side note, this is likely the final straw regarding the car. I am looking at another $15k to get it where I would want...hard to justify when I have two other vehicles and one of them runs 11's with $1k in mods.
