So apparently if you make a deal with someone to sell them parts and they live 1500 miles away in another country you can just take your F'n time sending stuff and/or ignore them and eventually not close the deal by sending some of the parts.
"marks340" AKA Mark Lange along with his father Brian made a deal with me for a new set of Indy 360-2 heads and intake (father/son team, I may have who is the father or son reversed). Originally wanting $2600, after which ended up being $3175 shipped with combustion opened to 68cc and titanium retainers added. Also Springs are suppose to be matched to the cam I'm going to run.
I originally found these guys on ebay trying to sell a set of Indy 360-1 Race prepped heads but even for my radical stroker build it was to much head, so they suggested the 360-2's they had. He said they were new but had port work done to them, but for me the 63cc was too small so for more dough they agreed to open up the chambers to 68cc. They had good feedback on ebay, and only after seeing an add on here a couple days later for same race heads did I figure out that marks340 was the same guy. And I was happy to see that he had some good feedback here as well.
I'm not the type of guy to jump the gun and not give others a chance to pony up and get things done but in a week or so it will be 4 months since I sent them the funds on Nov 29th. I went weeks at a time with no response and luckily I did get the heads sent to me 3 weeks ago (packaged poorly)....BUT still no shafts and rockers or an intake! And in the last 2.5 weeks I have emailed them 3 times, PM'd from FABO once and tryed calling and left a message twice. I know from replys that their email goes thru to their iPhone, so anyone knows that they have obviously seen the messages,,,AND anyone including me that owns an iPhone never go more then 2 hrs without looking at the damn things.
Earlier this year when I was getting no reply I would get an excuse of busy or out hunting, but all I asked was good communication if things were to be delayed. After all, they had my hard earned money 48hrs after the deal was made and told me that the heads would be sent out in a week. My last couple of emails I finally started saying wtf, and if these missing parts arent sent out ASAP then we need to start talking partial refund, no response again. 3 days ago I sent another email stating if you dont reply by noon on sunday that I'm posting up a thread about what garbage I'm putting up with and that I will be making it my new objective to annoy you as much as I've been annoyed. As a member here and other forums where I'm sure they try to sell parts, I will be giving warnings to others to not to deal with them.
For anyone who knows Mark and Brian Lange personnaly ask them why they feel its OK to shaft someone on a deal that was made?! If marks340 would like to pop in and dispute anything I will gladly copy and paste any of my emails to prove a point.
What also pisses me off is that I see that marks340 has been on here as resently as a weekish ago, and they have a couple of ads in the forsale section, same on ebay right now too. STAY AWAY!!!!! The way I look at it I'm out at least a $1000 to buy what I need.
Here are pics of what I was emailed when they first tryed selling me on the parts. Now after receiving the heads I can no longer trust the workmanship and will have to pay more $$$ to have my machine shop go thru them. I have no idea if correct springs/locks made it on the heads or if the correct 68cc combustion chamber were ground.
Its royal BS and I couldn't give a crap if there was a death in the family, their house burnt down or Dana Point California slid into the ocean,,,,,,it only takes 10 whole seconds to reply and say "Sorry I need more time because...."
