Cpracing undergoing a facelift?

Hey guys,
I just checked out the CPracing site and it appears they are under new management lol... Well I certainally hope they will do better business, they have some good product ideas, just horrible customer service and shipping times.

It would be nice to be able to get products in Canada because then I can save on "over the border" charges.

No prices on there "new" site either yet, it will be interesting to see if they change.

This business should be dealt as cash only business.

Show up
See what you want
Pay cash
Carry it out


And for all those who don't understand:

Nobody in the area is going to go pick up your **** and ship it to you.

Nobody in the area is going to check up on them to see what's going on.




And if you don't understand what 'new management' means, it means that the business went under and were 'bought out' by probably someone else in the family, but the 'real' manager is still the same. It also means that they've lost all their suppliers and their bank financing.

imported "j spec" NA 13b's from second gens?! hahaha thats hilarious All FC's in japan were turbo, I'm not sure where they are finding "j spec NA engines" but I'd like to see what they say... CP lost my business long ago, I wouldn't deal with them again, new management or no. I'd *much* rather deal with REspeed, he's on here a lot and is a much better business man.

I e-mailed them a week ago asking if they had any FB strut bars in stock and stating that I wanted to come by with cash in hand to pick it up. As of yet...no response. So...it would appear that it is business as usual.

I'll take that as a joke but some people don't understand that they are having problems...?...

If you want them, order them elsewhere.
