Don't do it unless you are willing to wait until retirement for delivery

Then if it does arrive from the planet Pluto you'll have to pay Duty tax as well

I've heard this is a one-man band website.

Try Japspeed or Temple Tuning - both excellent service

yea I'd read bad reviews about flat4online, however I ordered a fuel pump and perrin arb's. He contacted quickly telling me that it would be mid may before parts would be instock, my waiting time would then have been about 2.5 weeks that past and now my order status has changed to awaiting courier or something so might get it soon! Emailed during all that and kept getting a reply along the lines of your order is important to us blah blah. So I guess these people take their time order wise.

Its like everything, when you order parts at a good price and theyre not in stock then they may take time to arrive when coming from abroad, it might just be held up at customs, they're hardly the fastest at processing!

thats exactly it!!, from what i understand the guy works from home and when someone orders something he then puts it in with distributor and they send it to you directly hence all the delay as most stuff is sent from abroad!

I know people that have waited 3-4 months for something small like a fuel pump. Admittedly he is a bit cheaper but just dont expect next day delivery Or next month delivery for that matter

I ordered a turbo install kit and he was pretty good - first one got lost in the post so he dispatched another and it arrived within a day. I may have been lucky as he had it in stock, but I had a good experience.
