Default Turbo Manifold arrived from the Drop Shop today!

Well, I recieved my manifold toady. Some of you may have read the previous thread on the drop shop GB. I just wanted to say to Jon on the quality of the manifold. Very nice welds and the material is thick and strong. The cost was the best deal that I found.I will post pic of the manifold soon.

Still haven't recieved mine, hopefully today. Fedex said it should have been here saturday, but they don't ship normal packages on saturday's...So it should be here today.

No, i didn't order a downpipe, I'm going to build my own...

I apologize... but I can not sit around and hope that one day my manifold is going to be done. I'm not going to take "its done when its gone" and have the fate of my car in your hands. I needed my manifold about 2 months ago. I'm not going to wait two more months. I will buy something off the shelf..

I've been patient enough. Some people can wait, I cant wait through the winter with no car. We've waited a reasonable amount of time.... even allowing some leeway for delays in delivery but now you've has clearly broke the terms of the contract which was originally set for 3-4 weeks after group buy ended. In contract law you are bound verbally and written by contract, 4 weeks no manifold? then you have breached our contract and should return my money immediately. But now I am patient and understand set back. But to expect I should be happy and go away quietly with a statement of:

OH NO we are not starting this again

You have mistaken. Again I apologize for any inconveniences I may have cause you in asking you to make me a manifold. Wait I'm paying you with hard earned money! So how can I inconveniences you... Well I'm not sure, thats how you seem to talk to us.. Like its an inconveniences always bothering you for updates and nagging for tracking numbers and so on. I hate to break it to you but that’s the nature of business you have to keep your customers informed and make them feel you want there business.

So instead of asking for an update here’s what I’ve decided I’m going to do. If you dont think you can get the manifold to me by DEC 25th or at the very least have a tracking number then please return my money.

Thats about 8 days to get mine out... or return my money.
