Respect for Ryan coming in here and handling the situation. Goes a long way towards his company, his business, and his ethic. Customer for life, no matter the wait.

erict90 · 03-15-2012, 09:15 AM

I'm not gonna be that guy that says told ya so....

How long ago did you order? Hope this results in a solution. Dude came onto EvoMnet talking shit, being an arrogant, pompous ass. Then changed his attitude real quick after I said acting like a child doesn't help any situation.

winter · 03-21-2012, 07:33 AM

That's it I'm stealing his business model and I'm mass producing this shit so no one can bitch about some stupid bolts, OEM bolts not good enough for you?! Y U NO SUPPORT MOTHERLAND OEM PARTS? Y U BUY AMERICA?

He claims his supplier is Darling Bolt; they do not have any record of him buying product from them, but you can go through either them, McMaster Carr, or True Choice Motorsports for, essentially, anything you need on the front of fasteners. I wouldn't recommend Fastenal as they fucked me around for a full month before coming to the conclusion that they cannot supply me the stuff I wanted and the stuff they advertise... Hence why I had to deal with Baller Bolts bullshit.

I placed an order on Jan 5 and never recieved a response, but my cc was billed for the items. I have sent a couple emails, and never recieved a response. I tried calling a couple times and get the message that Ryan Hampton's mail box is full. He says his name kinda f***ed up, its hard to under stand.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue, if so, how did you rectify the problem? I'm gonna call my cc company and see about get the funds back.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong section for this. Mod's please move if nessecary.

I'm very interested in these... does he still have some and what size are the strut towers for a 1998 240sx...

There's apparently three different "locations" or something. His phone number is from SoCal, the site says Arizona, and my stuff was shipped from Texas, I believe. It's been so long since I went to the BBB about businesses, but I thought it's useful to know locations.

jk26 · 03-30-2012, 04:02 PM

I'm in the same boat, I made my order more then a month ago, and this clown wont respond. Looks like I'll be calling my cc company.

Sidewayz silvia · 03-30-2012, 04:10 PM

That's shitty... I hate people that scam others out of their hard earned money... and if it was some sort of misunderstanding and he's a "legit seller", then its his responsibility to inform his buyers that he is fulfilling their orders and apologize for any lack of communication... just sucks when an awsome product is being sold by a shitty seller!

JFoxx · 03-31-2012, 07:42 AM

...the order i am disputing was for ss engine hardware set for the whole sr20 excluding head, and main studs..... what other company can i get this from?

If you still have stock bolts, just measure the size, length, and buy hardware from either darling bolt or mcmaster carr. All Nissan bolts are 1.25 thread pitch.

Sidewayz silvia · 03-31-2012, 08:14 PM

I think he's looking for burnt Titanium ones...

Ss isn't that strong. 10.9 and 12.9 grades are much stronger

Suitable replacements:

Burnt & Purple Titanium Steering Wheel Bolts: <font color="#ccoooo">FREE SHIPPING</font>

Pro-Bolt Titanium Products

Universal - Bolt Boys!

Call Frank @ Downstar/Bolt Boys to see if he has any Ti shit in if you want... it comes and goes for him so he probably doesn't list it.

xBtony · 04-02-2012, 11:35 AM

Glad my order went right. I love these things

The first link is baller bolts just distributed by intense powers which no one should buy from them. They have scammed tons of people already.

Ahh, okay. I've heard of them, but never heard that. Unfortunate.

I know the other two are very legit, for sure.

specialk2003 · 04-03-2012, 10:21 PM

I ordered some burnt titanium steering wheel bolts, and it took around 6 months to get in. There were a couple times I forgot about the order. I did however, finally receive them. Won't order from them again. No straight answer whenever I asked about the order. Only reason I waited for them is because I didn't need them, and couldn't even get a hold of the guy to get a refund.

CaBS · 04-25-2012, 06:42 PM

My parts guy over in the US placed an order for me back towards the end of december I actually sent the order 20/12/11. His CC has been charged for the gear (several hundered bucks worth of stuff) and we have still been unable to even contact them!?

No returned calls or even an email also they're both in Arizona so there is no time difference or anything. Ugh very frustrating I want the gear but cant get it!
