Hi everyone
A while back I mention spark plug prices from a particular company called
Performance Motorcars
I have yet to get mine, a vavle cover, and some 0 rings, which I ordered on
the 17th.
They have not returned my emails nor my phone messages.
Tomorrow I will be reporting them to the bbb... I am sorry if anyone else
was involved in this.
I ordered parts throught them before and recieved them promptly.
Sorry if your involved with the business also.
Send me an email and I will mention it also.
Josh
