Dude, chill. Just to give you an idea of thhe kind of guy Jeff is, afew years ago a group of us went to Jeff to get our 4.57's installed. We drove our cars to his house (we're from Pittsburgh) and he threw us the keys to his brand new Ridgeline and said he would call when everything was done. He didnt have to do that, but he did. Trust me, you are in good hands. He does alot of these things and the amount of time youre waiting is perfectly acceptable. Maybe you should have asked him from thr beginning how long the deal would take. BTW - you will love the gears.

Never doubt the HTG! Be patient my friend, it will be worth it. Jeff is solid. He's the only person who touches my NSX for a reason.

Ben (S2KPUDDYDADDY) is an A Class guy. I know hes doing the best he can and I know if it was ready, it would be at your door by now. Give it some more time. Enjoy em.

I've never met or dealt with S2KPUDDYDADDY but his reputation on this board is impeccable. The same for Jeff aka Hardtopguy; I've both met and done business with him. Keep in mind that many S2000 vendors have a day job; the low number of cars sold in the US over the years just won't support full-time vendors. So occasional communication snafu's occur. I'm not saying that it is right, just that it happens sometimes.

That said, I hope you get your differential back soon. I do understand the anticipation, especially if you've been saving for a while. Please report back with your impressions after driving with the new gears.

You'll get 'em and they'll be right. Busy season for HTG I'd imagine.

I hate how everyone uses a guy's reputation to excuse poor service. Yeah, he has a great reputation, I'm well aware of it, okay. So at least you know you won't be screwed in the end. However, that reputation shouldn't be used to excuse what would otherwise be considered inexcusable.

It's not really that difficult to return a phone call or to update a customer on his order status. If you're going to be busy, make the buyer aware and don't leave him/her in the dark. Unacceptable.
