Angry Sport compact only ALL BAD

MY first FD i got i thought i was getting a really good deal,and i did 94 locked up turbos for $3000. so i was just going to get new turbos and be happy. Then everything went bad. i order a Gready T88 single turbo with inner cooler for it but one month i get a call saying we only have the T78 so i said Ok and i was getting a discount on a blow off valve so i was happy. so 2 months pass and nothing i call and never get any help till i got a manager so he said he was sending it out i get it one 3 weeks later no inner cooler no blow off valve call them back they say they don't have my order but i got charged. i start calling getting stuff together and finely i get the inner cooler but no blow off valve. so by then about a year and 3 months passed and i sold my FD after waiting 10 months and i never got my money back for my blow off valve.Also no returns on turbos Thats why i hate sportcompactonly.com . SO now i have a Gready T78 single turbo kit with inner cooler for sale $2500 OBO thats about half of what i payed. Write back for my phone# TY and good night.

I made a pretty huge order from SCO back on Dec 1, 2006. Didn't finally receive everything until about early April. They take a very long time because they drop-ship everything. I kept getting different dates of when things would be shipped; everytime it came the day to ship, I'd receive a new ship date. Absolutely ridiculous. I ended up calling so many times, that the guy that handles order knew my name off by voice recognition...

It was EXTREMELY inconvenient, especially since I had to keep pushing back my install date every time they sent me a new "ship date".

Bringing this back from the dead. I just ordered my Tein coilovers because they have the best deal including a $50 rebate. They looked very legitimate and I've seen their ads everywhere. So far, I ordered on Dec 7th and I haven't received any notice of shipping. So much for my plans of installing this weekend.

I usually order from MVP, ebay, HPF, and a few others, and the moment I try to save just that little bit extra, I'm getting screwed. Thank goodness for credit card companies, I'll contest this at the end of the week if they haven't given me a legitimate status update.

Anyone have any more insight on Motorweb/SCO?

You'll get your ****, you'll just have to wait for it. Your best bet would be to call and find out what is going on; that's what I did.

Well, I finally got word of it shipping. Turns out they don't stock coilovers and they have to have them shipped to their facility from the manufacturer when you order and then they ship from there. A little shocking for a company that seems to have enough volume to stock coilovers.

They should be arriving today. I'm crossing my fingers that they sent the right part# let alone getting the rebate back.
