Are you fucking kidding me?
 

Okay so I blew a head gasket, of course not too long before the next import race event at woodburn (---- like this always happens before dyno and track days). Anyways I went down to the honda shop and ordered a new head gasket and I already have that. I wanted to make sure to get everything here by thursday so I wouldn't be doing everything the day before I needed my car.

Of course I can't reuse my stock head bolts so I ordred some ARP head studs. Who did I order them from? Lightning Motorsports. I called wednesday and said I needed them overnighted. I have ordered a walbro fuel pump from them before and had no problems, but last time I ordered wheel studs they ended up shipping them to my old house and I didn't get them in time for the track, so I couldn't go.

Well guess what, I woke up today and checked my emails... THEY ------- SHIPPED MY HEAD STUDS GROUND! I call them up like WTF? Well they can't do ---- since they are already shipped out. My only option was to spend another 90 bucks and have another set overnighted. I will get my money back when I ship the other set of studs back, but ---- I didn't want to deal with this ----. I already spent $100 extra bucks overnighting parts to make it to the last track event and I couldn't even ------- race because lightning motorsports fucked my order up! So basically if you ever call them, before you hang up, go over the order again and specifically make sure it's correct.

IF MY HEADS STUDS DON'T GET HERE ON TIME I AM GOING TO KILL THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS! >:(

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I probably wouldn't call them again. :-\

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

:( pat you have the worst luck. are you irish?

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I know I said I needed them overnighted, so basically the guy on the phone just fucked up and wasn't paying attention, maybe it was my fault for not making sure before I hung up, either way it's still gay.

Oh and when they shipped my wheel studs to the wrong house? Yeah I told them over the phone I needed them shipped to my new house, I gave them the address I needed them shipped to over the phone. Yeah they just shipped them to the address on my account because it was not updated.

So basically I have come to the conclusion the guys on the phone are lazy.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

i've done dumb ---- like that too, waste all the extra money for over night parts and ---- and having something else ---- up or go wrong. imo, patience is virtue and you can't make every event ;) hope things work out for you though.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I think it's the HMT curse. I swear everytime any of us HMT guys get together for a race event, dyno meet, etc... something always happens the day or night before. Example... this head stud deal, the last wheel stud thing, my boost controller not getting here ontime for the first dyno event, me braking my tranny at a street race, me breakig an axle, my tranny before the last woodburn race, jeff's oil pump beforethe last dyno event... should I go on? Of course it always works out, but damn it can be stressful!

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

When did you call in this order?

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

i hear there's a chupacabra curse going around. everytime you get your cabra chupada something will go wrong with your car.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I woke my ass up before 10 in the morning on wednesday and called. Luckily I just happened to get up early today and check my email, if I wouldn't have did that I would have been fucked. Actually now that I think about it I would have just re-used my head bolts if I didn't get the head studs in time (I can just change them after the track). There is no way I am missing this race event.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I thought irish people have good luck because of the four leaf clovers?

Sorry about that pat I hope you get your ---- on time you have like the most powerful D on here. You need to represent at the track

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

That's ass.

Least you don't have my luck. I'd kill to have ARP studs not showing up on time be my worst problem with my car.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

to say you have the Luck of the Irish...is not a good thing.

clovers and leppricons mean nothing

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

i've just been educated

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

How ironic. There shipping isn't so "lightning". :P

I have ---- luck, too. Don't feel bad. If it can go wrong, it will. I try to always keep that in mind when doing ANYTHING. I always expect the worst thing possible to happen. It saves me from being surprised when it does happen. :-\ Then I go to the store and pick up a 12 pack and drink my problems away. :-[

Ever car part I ever ordered either was the wrong thing, didn't come on time ect ect. These companies are ran by douchebags.


Summit seems to be my only reliable supplier.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?

i'll vouch for summit and nipponpower

both companies do great job and take care of me pretty well.

I would have opted for the Cometic HP headgasket but <SHRUG>... I'll let ya'll know if shiet happens to it.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

Yeah they do, that's why I keep a four leaf clover marshmellow with me at all times. Sometimes for luck, other times to eat cause i'm hungry.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

I also think summit is pretty good. I don't like jeg's at all though. When I ordered my drag wheels I forget to get the right lug nuts so I called back like 5 minutes later and talked to the same guy. I asked if I could buy the lug nuts and have then shipped with the wheels, but he said no and that I had to pay overnight shipping for the lug nuts. I just ------- paid $80 to overnight some ------- wheels, so there was no way I was paying more overnight shipping just for lug nuts... bastards.

Re:Are you fucking kidding me?
 

Sounds like a dick sales person. He probably gets a commision on the shipping or something. what a dick.
