I was told these all shipped out on the 12th. I haven't heard anything in the last week despite emails and voicemails. Has anyone recieved parts or tracking numbers or any other updates?

I haven't heard anything yet, or seen anything arrive yet. These are coming freight from Canada I think though? During the busiest shipping season of the year...

receive my kit today.......waiting on the rack itself

Any word on mine? I haven't heard anything about it and haven't received anything other than some poly-rack bushings a couple months ago.

I've so far both called and email re-speed trying to hear some news on my kit (and coilovers which I also ordered along with it back in august) and have yet to hear anything! Did anypne else receive their kit?

I also ordered the kit and coilovers. I recieved mine on like the 27th or so. There was no required signature, and it had a listed value (on the shipping label) of $200. Had no tracking information and was missing the set screws for the front coilovers. I called both numbers and sent sams emails almost daily until it arrived. I also never recieved any response. I hate to give these guys a bad review, but I'm not sure the move to canada was the best for billy.

Well my kit finally arrived*phew*, a little beat up, only 100 dollars insurance and looks to be missing at least the steering column aluminum shear pins. Also still waiting on the rack and the u joint. Tried calling Re-Speed again yesterday, still no response, nobody picks up.

I’m glad you guys are getting your parts… maybe I’ll get mine soon. I’m going on 2 months for front and rear coil overs and a strut tower brace (I know up to a 3 week wait). And haven’t gotten a reply or a call back in 3 weeks.

egertk

Yeah... it's like he just dropped off the face of the earth? I really wish there had been SOME communication about when stuff was shipping, etc. tracking numbers and what not.
Also, it's pretty lame to skip out on shipping insurance when it might have added maybe only 10 bucks to the shipping cost.

challer2000

When I received my first package (Front Springs and threaded spring seat) there was no tracking number or email letting me know anything shipped. Not sure about insurance… but the package did not ship from respeed. It was some place out of Indiana I think. The only reason I found it, it was trash day and UPS placed it behind my trash cans. But that didn’t have much to do with respeed. If it was a warehouse it would have been on them for shipping.

I just want to know whats going on and when I can expect my parts that I paid for.

Has anyone heard from Sam? I hope he's ok.
I'm trying to contact him regarding an order and havent heard from him since november

egertk

I heard from him the other day, just a short note, no real explanation about what happened though. He did send the missing parts from my kit ASAP and they have since arrived, so good on him for that. He said he was going to look into what was up with the rack and u-joint that I'm still waiting on, but that's coming from Maval I guess direct. Yeah I'm hoping everything is OK with him, seems like he was much more responsive about a year ago when I was talking with him about their camber plate kit that I ended up getting. It's just frustrating being in the dark over something that cost me more than my RX-7 did!

with my quick ratio, I can go from center to full turn in about 8" of travel. I freakin love it. I am dropping the subframe next weekend again to redo some welds I had made on it. I ended up with 1" of clearance to my mid length headers to the steering u-joint with this kit so swapping a V8 is possible. I only had to move my alternator to where the stock camaro ps pump was.

Can anyone answer this? I have a 1980 SA and the bracket that hols the steering tube is not big enough to go around the end of it. Does anyone know if the SAs and FBs have different diameter steering tube?

challer2000

I received my order minus upper spring seats for my coilovers… hope they get here soon. Sent him a email but no acknowledgement about the missing parts.

Yes they are different, although its not as clear cut as being SA or FB, its more like 79-81.5 and 81.5-85 (I got this info from Mazdatrix) so if yours is an 80 then it would have the flared out tube, the later steering tube is the same diameter at the end. Since the bracket is too small to fit around it he sent you the 81.5-85 bracket, I'd also assume that the delrin bushing he sent would be the incorrect one too...

dream36realms

yes, in the original orders that we did this was a required answer to get them made. Billy had asked if we had PS, or not and year. mine took some massaging but I got it on there eventually. If I take my shaft out I have to take the whole rear control arm assembly off to reinstall it.

BrandonsFB

The Delrin bushing is actually the right one an dfits perfectly. It's just the bracket that hold the steering tube that doesn't fit and is too small. Can I get the proper one, or do I have to cut it out?

^I don't think you'd be able to modify it to work, better just contact Sam and have him send the correct one. Can you take a picture and post it? Might help others understand what the issue is.
