Angry Soooo close... and yet,

Waiting on a flywheel from Kennedy. Told them I needed it, told them to make it. TWO WEEKS later they call and say "yes we can make it, it will take three to four weeks, do you want it?" W-T-F? What does "I need it/ make it" mean? Its not even a question of cost, I HAVE TO HAVE IT, no choice, they are the only source. I already know they are gonna break it off when they charge me.
There are other odds and ends I'm working on. No where near ready to drive yet.... but I could have it running in a weekend with the rest of my parts. It's really tough to be this close but by the time I do get the parts, it will be ready to drive!

Thats the problem with these companies that know you CAN'T get it anywhere else.
It makes you wish some competion would come along, I'm sure that would chang there way of thinking.

I had to wait 3 months for my front struts. I caught topline in between the first and second batches. Zen has been held up alot too. The road to a custom car(Bus) is a road full of pot-holes and road-blocks. But when you get it on the road all of that will melt away.
