Who is the last person on the forum to have heard back directly from them?
I ordered a clutch kit from them and so did someone else on the forum and they haven't heard back from them in over a month.
Anyone heard from them recently?
their news page hasn't been updated since 2008. FRICK. How can their site still run and accept money if no one is running it?
at the bottom of the page there is that "c" symbol and 2010 beside it... doesn't that mean they have a business licence that expires in 2010, inclusive?

oooh, I really hope this doesn't bite ya in the butt buddy

Looks like a good website too, will they not answer calls either?

[truckinwagen]

strange, when I ordered my clutch from them(shortly after the new year) it came in less than a week, and I was charged much less for shipping than it actually cost them.

I really hope everything works out for you guys...

I'm worried about the australian bloke who made an order a month ago, is out $500 AUS, and has YET to hear from them...

[Smokey Eddy]

I just gave them a call...
ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring... ring...

[truckinwagen]

well crap, now I feel like a jerk for suggesting them.

it is weird though, because I had no issues at all...

I hope that you can figure it out, even if that means canceling payment from your credit card.

I'm not a lawyer but I think that means copyright 2010 meaning the content was created in 2010 having nothing to do with their business license.

I would take your word over my own no matter how hesitant you were. I had no idea what "copyright" really means anyways. thanks.
So on a plus side that means the site has been updated in 2010 at some point...

How long do you think i should wait?
I definitely do NOT want to wait a month like gldgti has.
This thread is as much for gldgti as it is for me.

[truckinwagen]

mine took about a week to get to me, and they sent me an email telling me when it shipped too.

I would send them an email now, and if they don't respond to the email in five business days I would call your CC company.

[Smokey Eddy]

i emailed them yesterday. We'll see. It hasn't been 72 hours yet which is how long they claim to respond in.
it just bothers me how ... dead the website is but if you dealt with them early 2010 or dec of 2009 im not too worried.
and that gldgti hasn't heard from them in a MONTH

Not that it helps this issue, but there's a really good clutch shop in Burlington Ontario called Euro-drive Clutches. Owned and ran by an old German guy. I've been going there for over 15 yrs now.
905-639-7873
They do it all. Uprating pressure plates, lightening flywheels, kevlar or ceramic or copper, or sintered iron linings... you name it. Not ultra cheap, but great work at a reasonable price.
As an example, I just had a 200mm diesel clutch done with new disc, lightened flywheel and stage 1 pressure plate upgrade for $335 tax included.

[truckinwagen]

yeah, there is a shop here locally that will do clutches.
they specialize in industrial clutches, but will do work on automotive ones too.

the only reason I went with the bildon one was that I was broke and needed something quick and cheap that would hold lots of power.

and I got just that.

hopefully it was an honest mistake on their part and they fix it.

thats less than what i paid Bildon for the pressure plate & clutch disk.

Still no word from Bildon for me =(
