Need to vent: 

yadda yadda yadda

I know in the bigger picture it's not a big deal at all and it's not like I'm driving the car anytime soon, but I gave them $200 and no one can tell me where the bushings are. 

Just following up on this. I have my bushings. They corrected the issue right away once they got back from SEMA. All is good!

Just kidding. They haven't done shit and USPS' tracking only shows that the label has been created. Talked to a guy there on Tuesday who said "Yeah, they should have definitely gotten to you by now". No fuck they should have. And then he gave me the same "I'll call USPS right now and get this squared away and call you right back" to which I rolled my eyes and of course haven't heard back yet.

Just checking in to see if he called back or is still on hold with USPS.....

I would demand a discount. or partial refund. Tell him the car is in the shop stuck on the lift and is getting charged a storage fee.

Apparently no one is in the office today to take a phone call. So, another day without knowing what's going on with it. 

I read through their google reviews and someone a few months ago dealt with the exact same thing. 

I mean, they have a ton of positive reviews and almost every online shop sells their stuff. So I'm not doubting that 99.9% of the time they get things out quickly and on time, but damn, at least pretend to give a shit. I would have assumed that after two weeks of no update on it, they would have already sent me something. But at three weeks they're still "trying to figure it out". Shit's broken, send me new ones so I can put my car back together. 

On the up-side, my brake lines were delivered today.

I would love to develop my own polyurethane bushing brand.

This is nothing new of Revshift, it has been this way since they started. You look up any thread about them and it is the same story. 
They always make it to you, just never in a timely manner.

Last night the tracking randomly updated that the package was accepted at the USPS facility. I would love to know if USPS messed up and or if Rev never actually shipped it and sent it off to USPS last night.

This is mostly likely what happened.

You're probably right.

I'd be willing to bet it was RevShift lol

I'm thankful for direct-port nitrous injection, four-core intercoolers, ball-bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs.

S38 for sale on BaT: the video of it running shows it installed in a super nice datsun 240Z! That looks like it was an awesome car/build, sound incredible

Went for a good price, basically what the full rebuild cost

Very much so. Everyone is hopefully just in their garages working on stuff so diligently, that they haven't had time to post updates.

Ill be tackling some fun maintenance this weekend, trans and diff fluids and trying to raise the rear with some makeshift spacers. Exciting stuff. Hopefully it snows soon so I can actually get the snowboard out

That's uh, exactly what I've been doing, obviously

I haven't put my snow tires on yet.  So it is hiding in the garage.  Been busy working on house projects before baby 4 comes likely this week.  Gotta keep the nesting wife happy.   I do almost have a garage heater hooked up.  I will post pictures when it's done.  It's a sweet contraption.

I joined a makespace in Madison (the bodgery). Played around with the TIG welder a little, but haven't started any projects yet. Not sure I'm going to fit in well there, but it's something to do over the winter...
