It takes 3 business days for Paypal to clear.
You bought it on the 13th........14th, (skip sunday),16th, 17th.

You b****ed for nothing.



If you want to b**** about something valid, try the quality and claims of their clutches. I had one and it didn't hold near 250whp, and they were claiming like 300. Oh well, you get what you pay for.

UPDATE


here we are not even 6 months later and the flywheel had teeth break on the ring gear and several were chipped. i asked them to warrenty their part and they said it must have been starter. but the starter wasnt even 3 moths on when i put the flywheel on there. this company is bullshit, dont waste your time with their products or horrible customer service.

i'm out the 175 for this flywheel plus my car has been down for a week now dealing with them. only to find out i have to spend another 175 to buy another flywheel from XTD and wait another week to get it from them.

just wanted to update everyone that when i was doing my engine swap i found that the flywheel is now starting to crack at its center





its still works just fine but still it shouldnt be doing this after only 2 months in the car. i called them back up and b****ed them out agin, now they are sending me one for free but this time too they tried to tell me it was my fault and not their product. then they went on about how they need more pics to prove its manufactor defect.

this is the worst e-bay seller i have ever had to deal with

when i ordered my flywheel from them, it came in 2 or 3 days.. i have been very satisfied with their parts and service so far. i have also recommended grip force a few times. everyone was satisfied with their service.

you're sure you have the good flywheel for your crank? 41mm and 35mm ?,
was it a snug fit on the crank pilot?

got mine quick too, and works fine, thing is, every company has some form of bad feedback; show me one company that has never had a dissatisfied customer...

You wont agree, but thats another thing, you couldnt get every person to agree on anything either wink1.gif

yea its a 35mm crank and it fits nicely its just poorly made. if i had more cash to blow i would get a fidanza but i ended up getting a stocker on my beta 2 for free and they sent me one for free. so i'm planning to sell that one they gave me and if i ever have another problem i'm going to just put a stocker on and say to hell with it.
