Not sure of anything about you guys who said they've been shipped, but it's an update nonetheless
That's weird. I understand that when I did place the order they told me it would be in stock in a couple days which I was ok with. However the next day I received another email saying my order has shipped and provided me with USPS tracking number. That's what threw me off. When I checked the status on their website it shows that the order is complete which to me means that the order has been fullfilled or sent out? I was just worried that the item got lost in the mail or something.

However, the guys at Garagisric work hard: I have had multiple transactions with nothing but good to report. Sit tight and they will get the pieces out to you
If something has indeed happened to your order, I am more than 100% convinced they will take care of you like they did me
EDIT:
It is also a possibility that they simply only paid the shipping fees through PayPal and are awaiting the parts for shipment. If you pay USPS through PayPal, it will always come back as "shipped" in the tracking, whether or not the parts have actually left towards their destinationLast edited by JinormusJ; 06-05-2014, 03:29 PM.

Hey, question...I am going to order the Motometer set since the teeth are pretty manky on my odometer. I THINK that this might explain the steadily-decreasing "gas mileage" that I have experienced for the last 5 years, over which time I have replaced basically every fuel and ignition component without seeing an improvement lol. God help me if this was the cause because I have NO idea how many miles are actually on the car in that case.
Anyway...there seem to be 5 gears total in the odometer, and the Motometer repair sets have 4. Is the green gear not replaceable, or just never fails or something? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response! I ordered the gears a little earlier this evening...now I am sweating about the actual mileage on the car lol. I dropped in a fully built M42 about "6000" miles ago, and while I always keep a close eye on the oil level, I am now thinking that this engine & oil have closer to 9000 miles on them. At least it is high end synthetic oil that can go 10k miles, but still...so here I am half hoping that my gas mileage does not improve!
One more question. I was farting around with the odometer and noticed that the trip odo has some sort of roll-back prevention (defeated by holding the reset lever). Is there any way that I hurt any of the non-replaceable parts by pushing the gears the wrong way against that?
Thanks!

Just make sure the mileage hasn't been logged in a DMV database or at least have the miles roll over so it doesn't come up on a AutoCheck/Carfax.
