Racing Dynamics m20 e30 headers

[fporro]

I'm sure glad some of you guys know old continent schedules and holiday fares.

Currently dealing with japanese buyers and their marine products suppliers, I'm their intermidiary as they dont get Latin America's working hour's/habits.
Pair-up robotic behaviourist with siesta heads, oh my :)

yesterday fired up another "any updates" email to Federico, no answer as of this afternoon yet.

thanks again.

i would like to calm and encourage those of you that are getting stressed out with the delay. Time in Italy is nothing like it is over here and when you order a part that is not physically on the shelf ready to ship, there is no accurate time estimate. It is not personal, it's just the way it is.

In my experience the best way to deal with it is to forget you ordered the part in the first place and then you will be pleasantly surprised when it shows up.

Well said. I'm American, I was born in Germany (Dad was government) and raised mostly in France and some Spain and England too. I'm not close to worrying yet.

I have been tuning and building Ducati motorcycles for the last decade and a half. Part of that game is dealing with Italian suppliers and i would like to calm and encourage those of you that are getting stressed out with the delay.

I know this is not typical internet instant gratification but you are asking for and getting hand made, new, Italian RD headers that aren't available. Hell, they had to make new jigs to build these headers for you guys!

I would imagine at this point whoever is making the headers should be able to give a firm date. I know that Frank said the headers should be in SoCal by months end. Last week Federico said that they should be ready shortly. I'm just hoping that this week we get to hear that they should be shipped by the end of the week...

Have you ever seen a single one of these types of buys EVER actually transpire on the the initial projected deadline?

I remain optimistic. :drink:

Until I'm not.

[Bullet Ride]

Officially one month late and still nothing :(

[LJ851]

but more importantly and new news on the headers? Two more days until the 1 month late milestone....

And getting closer to August ....

[Bullet Ride]

Any news on the valve covers?

[TrentW]

Eager to know what gains these will provide?

[Bullet Ride]

Right now, I'd be happy if they ship one month late

Rad. Thanks for the update Frank!

Guess I got a b'day present from RD, as of this morning it reads like this ...

"I got a short message this morning that the headers should be ready shortly. I will give you the exact date as soon as I get it myself."

Pics ? lol, beats me.

Subscribed! This is riveting stuff. Seems like a great story of truly intelligent car people. ...plus i totally want headers for my E30 when I get it. @_@
