slant911 is infamous around these parts
Isn't FVD a German company? Wouldn't it be easier/quicker/cheaper to contact them direct since you are much closer there than the USA?

For some reason its cheaper to buy in the us from what ive seen,

2500 euros vs $2000.

Im just checking to see if anybody stocks them cheaper.

Thanks again

Andy, I will keep you posted regards this!

I'm about to install (next week hopefully) one made from Don on this forum, It looks superb and is based on the FVD one!

Don't even attempt to order from FVD, it started with 2 weeks, then 4 weeks, then a further email to tell me 6/7 weeks, told them to refund my money and take a run and jump!

I will keep you up to date

sorry I must clarify this is FVD Germany I am pointing the finger at, but would think anyone ordering from US would be slightly longer.

You must have been the 1st US customer Mark,

No jokin' aside! I have tried to order a few bits and bobs from FVD Germany and the Plenum was the last straw for me, to be honest I tried to discuss/order a steering wheel for my tippy from US (think name was JAY) and had 1 email responded out of about 5, eventually gave up! I'm now ordering from Gert (there is a Rennlist Group Buy going down at the moment)
