be careful where it comes from-check the area code of the phone #. Flash options is from Malaysia and that's bad. As you can see I'm a vendor and I get alot of people who tell me that flashoptions has a better deal. They don't realize that they are in malaysia and will probably sell you junk, and also that unless your very lucky customs will not let you have your swap/clip anyway. I import all front clips, were out of SR unfortunately. All 4 went friday/saturday. Not trying to steer you any direction just I hate to see people get screwed buying swaps from shady people. Ask for compression test pics, pics of the turbo's compressor wheels, and a pic of the exhaust and under the valve cover wouldn't hurt. Compression should be around 150-160PSI.

Customs has no problems letting you have swaps/clips as long as you classify them correctly on your entry form to the US. If you write it all correctly and aren't carrying any illegal items for import, you'll be cleared in about 2-3 days as ALL of my containers are.

Everybody wants a redtop swap of course. Sorry I'm out. make sure they are good and you have some recourse if they are not. That price shipped is pretty cheap, and you usually get what you paid for.

and yes CAMRON I know how customs and the paperwork goes but many do not, and Flash Options could care less if there was illegal items on the clip anyway. Point is you may not get anything regardless. One of our customers ordered a ST185 clip for $1500 trying to save himself $500. We'll it cost him another $2000 to get one from us after his never showed.

Ryan....no need to tell me about Flashoptions, I know how Gavin operates and what he does...they are never a recommended source for engines. How are things going up there anyhow? You know anything about Rob's whereabouts? He still owes me a LOT of money.

He's still up here trying to make it work, but I don't know if it will or not. The state patrol is looking for him trying to force that wrecker license down him like they are doing to us, it's only a matter of time. When the state patrol came to visit us the first words out of their mouth were "are you incorporated with Rob and RJC trading?" just like customs when we got checked out. Sucks because he's my friend and all, but I feel like we are taking alot of his heat and I'm getting tired of it. Dustin took over Matts place when he bailed and ran, drank, or partied it into the ground, and took a bunch of prepay and then didn't get another container. Word is your not too popular up here either but I don't really know who is pointing the finger at who?

Well, I've been working with Jose trying to find out where Rob is. Rob still owes me a lot of money and won't answer or return my calls. Dustin also was the consignee on some of Rob's containers because Rob didn't want to take resposibility for what came through. As far as I know Rob was indited and is spending time in Jail on work relief. He used to be a friend of mine until he decided to screw me out of the 10 clips that I owed out to my customers...and that is probably why my name is not all that popular. Anyhow, if you could get me info on him...please let me know. My number is 623-326-7295 and I'd like to have my $10k plus back...email is sales@night7racing.com
