i just placed my order, they said they should be in on the 28th and then shipped out

93inNM 06-17-2008 02:05 PM

Ordered mine today, was told the same as ^tyrant^, should be in/shipped on/around the 28th.

miatamoxie 06-19-2008 03:13 PM

Ah crap.....but good timing for the group buy.

I finally completed my turbo install and got the car running last night and today at lunch I found a big crack in the top tank of my radiator.

I just added myself to the buyers list. $160 shipped, kick ass group buy!

TonyV 06-19-2008 11:08 PM

<----wishes Mr. Chinaman would arive with his shipment...2mos now

Zabac 06-20-2008 09:31 AM

They will be here next week, the 28th I believe, so you guys that have been waiting forever, please don't leave me bad feedback, it is normal to wait for back ordered parts...
(when I say here I mean the US)
Cheers.

TonyV 06-20-2008 11:12 AM

lol, who's gonna leave YOU bad feedback??
I dare someone to leave a negative feedback for the guy that got us a quality rad for $160 shipped...If not for this everybody would be spending $400 plus..

So NObody better even be thinking that $hit...

And you know what, THANK YOU for getting this together man. I do appreciate it!

93inNM 06-20-2008 04:30 PM

Thanks from me as well Zabac. Good deal, worth the wait, only a week to go and they will be on their way. I am expecting them to actually ship via ground carriers on the 30th. I know what I'm hopefully doing on the 4th of July weekend, installing my new radiator, along with a few other recently acquired parts.

Andreas 06-23-2008 08:50 AM

This sounds like a really good deal. Do you think they will ship to Sweden? Have anyone seen the rads irl? If has an e-mail adress plaese post it and I'll ask them. Meanwhile I'll search..

Andreas

Zabac 06-23-2008 12:38 PM

Thanks guys!
Andreas, they will do international, just work out the details with Chung.
I just talked to them, the radiators come in on the 28th, should be getting to your homes next week.

Internationals, email wrx318@yahoo.com
Attn: Chung

Thank you Zabac, I'll mail Chung right away and see if there will be any rad left for me :)

zarish 06-25-2008 01:55 PM

my car wasn't having any issues with overheating or anything, but I just placed the order for one and was told they arrive on the 28th and will be shipped out asap.

TonyV 06-25-2008 02:10 PM

I feel like ordering 10 of these after all this, and having ebay auctions once this shipment runs out...

So the 28th is a Saturday, let's say they ship ground on Monday, Friday is a holiday, so we SHOULD have these early the following week...likely the following Monday 7/7 or Tuesday 7/8....

My order was placed on 4/30....if I get mine as est above, it'll be a total of one of the following:
69 days (or)
9.85 wks (or)
2.3 mos (or)
1656 hrs (or)
99,360 minutes (or)
5,961,600 seconds

Zabac 06-25-2008 02:39 PM

If they ship out monday you should have yours wed-thu.

Tremiata 06-25-2008 05:35 PM

Ordered today...thanks!

thymer 06-25-2008 09:08 PM

Ordered one as well. Great price.

TonyV 06-25-2008 11:46 PM

Sure, sure...everyone jump on the bandwagon now...
Thats it, tomm I'm calling them, and will purchase EVERY rad thats not spoken for...

Look for them on ebay for $220 fockers!!!

LOL---j/k, good for all the guys with good timing...I really hope everyone is reading this shit since we keep bumping it...Would suck to miss this only to find out they are sold out and it'll be another 6million seconds before they can get one...

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS, EVEN REMOTELY, STOP==PICKUP PHONE==CALL NOW

Andreas 06-27-2008 03:03 AM

I would have to wait 8 weeks for next shipment :mad: Instead I'll spend some extra $ and order a PWR rad from Gary at TDR.

Thank you anyways for a great offer Zabaz!

Europeans are bying all your stuff these days, its rebajas on $ :x:

ScottFW 06-27-2008 03:02 PM

I just got off the phone with them and was told that all the radiators in this coming shipment are spoken for, but they "should" get another shipment around the 3rd or 4th week of July.

BrillntBlk92 06-29-2008 01:12 AM

i think i'm gonna use some vacation hours from work just so i can dedicate myself to the install. i've gone miata-less for about 2 months now, and i've been driving a truck!! do you know how hard that is to do especially when you're used to turning at 35 mph!! i'm about ready to start foaming from my mouth and kill someone from this withdrawl. this is worse than the time i went cold turkey on coffee

Chapman 06-29-2008 02:11 AM

^^^^^
With stock fans, this radiator almost installs exactly like a stock replacement radiator.

Mine took the widening of a couple holes(on the fans), and the bending of a couple tabs that are the lower rad supports.

(on a 95)

kenzo42 06-29-2008 03:53 AM

Told me I could come in today and pick up the radiator; however, for me to call first. No one answered all day. = (

kenzo42 06-30-2008 02:45 PM

Just got off the phone w/ them. I was told these are pushed back till end of July/early August. This really sucks. They already took my deposit too.

No one will be getting anything for a while.

TonyV 06-30-2008 03:29 PM

Nooooooooooo way.... WTF happened to Saturday's shipment?
Were they on the Fail Boat and capsized or something?
Damn, I could see another couple days, cuz shit happens... But to be pushed back another 4-5+ weeks????? Unless they are rowing the boat, something bad has to have happened....

Zabac 06-30-2008 05:19 PM

Did you tell them you already ordered it and you are from MTnet?
If so, I will call and find out what is going on, the owner told me that the moment these hit their shop they will not take a break until they have all been mailed out to us first since we buy so many.

TonyV 06-30-2008 05:35 PM

+1---Inquiring minds want to know.....NOW (j/k)

jedduh01 06-30-2008 05:58 PM

Whew.. just got off the phone... this is what the guy said...

"any orders placed after the 28th of April are still pending: the shipment that came "last week" only had 5 in it...instead of 50... they are saying now. multiple weeks from now."

if someone else to to call and confirm, we would know the stories are correct.

They said they would refund no problem.. just what they are up against.

called today 5:50 EST. 06/30/08

Ive had mine ordered since 05/08... 2 months is a little rough. I guess i can wait withthis price.

Just the info I found.

^tyrant^ 06-30-2008 06:05 PM

damn if thats true that sucks.... looks like my ride will be ready by next summer to drive it

TonyV 06-30-2008 06:30 PM

I can't believe what I just heard....

I placed my order on 04/29, I called and got the same exact info jedduh01 stated above, with the extra detail being that they received a large quantity for the WRONG car...So yes basically 5 came in, and everyone after the 28th has to wait...

I went further and asked him to double check for me in case maybe someone cancelled or something...I was number SEVEN....now instead I have to wait another month plus...

Zabac 06-30-2008 06:57 PM

Fuck, that sucks!!!

neogenesis2004 06-30-2008 07:43 PM

This thread is full of epic fail.

93inNM 06-30-2008 11:23 PM

I received an e-mail from them, no specific reason given, only that it is going to be about 6 weeks until the next shipment arrives. They did give the option of a refund.

I will wait for the next shipment. I have lots of things I want to get done on my car besides the cooling system, the way my free time has been going and with the normal level of interruptions, the radiator will arrive about the same time as I have time. It would have been nice to have had it now but I can wait and so can my car.

Braineack 06-30-2008 11:33 PM

you would think.....call me crazy....that theyd start stocking these things...again, call me crazy.

patsmx5 06-30-2008 11:37 PM

That sucks. Been waiting since April for mine. :( Damn. I could whine and bitch a lot right now.

zcrxboy 07-01-2008 01:06 AM

man....i haven't been waiting all that long. But this is shitty.
another 6 f'in weeks...

i'm calling for a refund, the price is right, but time is money, for those of us who needed one of these to fix the car, not just upgrade it, this is a horrible inconvenience.

well, still a good deal for anyone who has some time.

Zabac 07-01-2008 10:52 AM

They usually get 50 in at a time, and sell out before the next shippment arrives, keep in mind, people from CR a M are buying these too now. Oh well, I better hang onto mine.
Sorry everyone who waited and now has to wait that much longer...I know it sucks, but there is nothing I can do, it's dem ChInEeesE!!1!
That Jap ship in their harbor must of fucked them all up and caused all kinds of delays.

BrillntBlk92 07-02-2008 12:41 PM

Had mine ordered on April 29th. Thats freakin bullshit in my opinion. How the hell would you order a freight from an oversea provided and not know how many are coming on there!? On top of that, why would you only ship 5 on a freight that costs like $500 to ship overseas!!? damn it i'm never gonna get my miata up and running again, all because i went with a highly recommended product that saved me a couple of bucks, but now i've lost 3 months just in wait time.

ZX-Tex 07-02-2008 03:22 PM

It is an example of the triple constraint. Performance, cost, and schedule - Usually you only get two of the three. In this case, you are getting performance and cost, and not schedule.

IMO there are no bad guys here. Just pay more and get it from another source if you are not willing to wait.

zarish 07-02-2008 09:12 PM

Fuk this shit, since we fukin buy a huge quantity why not go directly to the source and order these damn things from China??? I'm not sure why some of the sponsers don't sell these things. Chinese company's will sell anything to anyone. They call the Godspeed for one client and Cockspeed for another. They don't give a shit. I say someone go to China and deal on these fukin things. The container load shoudn't cost much.

Vent much? :giggle:
As I stated before, the container is shared with illegal Immigrants and therefore the cost is split and that's why these come over so cheap, now if some of the immigrants bring children, they throw a few radiators out...

BrillntBlk92 07-08-2008 05:49 PM

Has anyone been given a more specific date other than 'delivery will be sometime in july or august'?

TonyV 07-08-2008 05:54 PM

lol NOPE... I was told end of July beg of August, fwiw

Thats why I'm one of the guys towards the TOP of the list for the turbo blanket group buy!

93inNM 07-09-2008 07:15 AM

I was also told to expect them in sometime at the end of July to mid-August, no definite date, but from the e-mail I got it seemed as though it could possibly be the end of this month. Maybe someone will get a more definite date when placing an order between now and then? If we have not heard anything closer to the end of this month, I'll e-mail and ask them.

zarish 07-09-2008 04:27 PM

I called em too, but they had no definite answer. By the time they get these in it will be winter here again and I wont need the damn thing. I guess we plan for next year.

pace 07-17-2008 01:44 PM

Crap.. I was wondering why I hadn't seen mine yet. Am thinking I will ask for a refund and order a Koyo instead.

TonyV 07-17-2008 02:54 PM

Sorry guys, I got a refund....found one on Urbansoot's FS thread!
They gave me my refund within a few hours, BUT I was chagred Paypal fees because it was sent as a payment...so short $6..

Anyway, everyone gets bumped 1 spot up on the list now!

ALSO, I can let you guys in on something now. I called after we got the word that the last shipment was only for 5units, and asked for them to help me out a little in return for waiting months for this...
I was immediately offered expedited shipping, which I quickly told them didnt make much sense considering I waited months, 1 less day wasnt really worth it. I asled if they could take something off the price and refund me some money.
Right away was told $130 shipped, and received my $30 refund that evening....

I couldnt say anything earlier because I was told not to otherwise I'd lose my "discount". And I suggest you guys get creative about how, when to do this so you dont end up cock blocking each other...
Maybe someone could get something off the whole group, I doubt they will drop $30 on ALL orders, but just goes to show there is room for them to work with...

Hope this helps, and GL....staying subscribed to see you guys get yours finally
And I'll post teaser pics when i get mine (lol)

Zabac 07-17-2008 03:07 PM

FWIW, when I sold my radiator to shuiend, the shipping cost $20 including insurance and del. confirmation from USPS, businesses usually get a hefty discount with shipping companies as well, so if it costs $120 for local pickup, and shipping is around $10, then I don't see why we all can't get the $130 for waiting so long.
I can try to call them to see whats up, if I can get everyone some money back or we will all cancell our orders. It's a dick thing to do, but for fucks sake, we have waited for forever.
What do you guys think? i doubt it can happen and we just might lose the discount altogether...

TonyV 07-17-2008 03:11 PM

I just wanted to get the info out there...
I could see them taking something off for sure if not the $30..
My opinion I wouldnt back them up against a wall at first, because I'm thinking at the end of the day everyone still wants one for $160 and prob wouldnt want to cancel....but if it comes to it, might have to throw it out there...

Dang Dan, you're pretty hard. It doesn't hurt asking them, right?

miatamoxie 07-25-2008 04:44 PM

I just called them and they said there is currently an aluminum shortage in China, so that is the cause of the delay. He said he didn't have a definite date for delivery, but he was leaning more toward mid August....damnit.

I was REALLY hoping to get this in my car before I go on my Napa/Sonoma wine tour in mid August.
