i ordered my springs from them on my last check and got regular shipping and it came in about 3 days. this check i ordered the struts and an air filter an got it in 4 days. never had bad service from them or the wrong parts so maybe it was just an isolated incident for you not sure but i have had nothing but good service.

Well that's good. Every order I have had has been a nightmare from them. The fastest I ever got anything from Nopi was a month. Unless it was the bill. LOL

is your car very popular, they might be out of the items you order and its on back order. not many people are out of stock on items for a 94 protege. also with the 6 and 4 cyl thing, the 94 protege has two differant 4 cyl motors and basically the same suspension so its hard to confuse the two. your car might have more options that they might not know about. just something i thought might be going on in your cases.

Well the car is kinda popular (90 Nissan Maxima). But the wires case, they grabbed the wrong set off the shelf. For my brakes, I had the first set of the restock from Japan. (atleast that's what they said) I ordered 2 weeks prior to the restock. But it took another month and a half to get it to me. Needless to say, I'm glad I have nothing else that I have to buy through them.

Not bad, better than a Neon could probably ever do. As soon as I get the new clutch and axles done on my Maxima, I'm taking it to Sturgis Raceway and see what I can get. Unfortunetly the track is only a 1/8 mile. And it's the only track that is close by.

I'm sorry to bring up about Nopi again, but you got to read this.

This is the original email I sent to a company called NIN autosports about a supposed hood scoop that Nopi was selling


From: Ben

Subject: questions about a hood scoop


To whom it may concern,



I recently found this hood scoop (attached file) being sold by Nopi. Your website does not list this item. I was wondering if you still made the it, or if it has been discontinued? If it has not been discontinued, can you please send me the measurements for it. Nopi does not list any of that information.



Thank you for you time,

Ben



Here's their reply


Dear sir,

The picture that you send isn’t a hood scoop. Its actually an gauge pod. We do carry a carbon hood scoop. It was made for the WRX sti (zero sport style)but actually most people put it on a viper or rx-7 etc.. as an intake air hole. If you are interested in that scoop let me know. If you are intersetedin other kinds of scoop, we also offer fiberglass

Best regards,

Ca Auto



Ok, so nopi has messed up, here's my email to Nopi about their guage pod listed as a hood scoop.

Subject: Wrong listing for part #



826+0095



Your listing for this part number is a hood scoop by NIN Autosports. I recently emailed the company and come to find out that the part shown is a gauge pod, not a hood scoop.



Nopi's reply


I show it weighs 10 pounds and its $200+. Definitely not a gauge pod. It’s their part number HSUC and we have one in stock.



Hmm, so I decided to help out the moron at nopi. Apparently he can't read (note original email to Nopi) So I email a copy of the email with NIN autosports to the poor idiot at Nopi. Here's his reply

Oh the picture. Yeah I’ll have them look into it


OMFG. Now I know why my clutch order got all fucked up.
