Ah yes, but specific compression raises with boost. Premium fuel only for me.

I dont know how they did it but my plug wires, cap and rotor arrived from FCP to Texas in 1 day with 3 day shipping. The return label had a Texas city but as far as I know FCP doesn't have any distribution centers in Texas. Anyway parts are swapped out and so far no return of the dredded shudder. If today's driving goes well then I'm gonna call it repaired. I can't believe I was so fixated on the transmission this entire time. At least I got a full transmission fluid exchange out of it.

Welcome to the world of “ drop shipping “ where you place an order on your supplier and have them ship it to your customer.

Used Shaggkira to get parts for my 200k E83 total front suspension refresh.

That was nasty driveway work

Post the return label address here and we can look it up and find out who FCP is using, or if they have their own stealth center in TX.

I ordered a few simple things a couple weeks ago and it was eight (8) days from CT to DE. Not the first time I've been disappointed by FCP shipping.

I just got an FCP order today that was shipped Monday with their free shipping. They're usually pretty good.

Buddy's S60R arrived today on a flatbed... it toasted yet another angle gear! The output shaft seal blew out and dumped a ton of the oil. Interestingly, it dumped another quart of gear oil when I pulled the right axle.

Then the other night I swapped a spare Xemodex ETM into the S70 after getting some accelerator pedal position sensor codes. Still has a rough cold start idle... I don't know what's going on with that. Gotta figure that out.

I’ve noticed the pattern here, on the $50 free ship route

If it’s in stock FCP ships right away , even on economy. If it’s drop shipped, it can take the full 10 days.

In a hilarious turn of events. I recieved an email this morning with the tracking info for the package that was already delivered

Usually when FCP drop ships parts, I get them within a day or two. Then again, those warehouses are usually in GA.
