Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

No worries, Ioan!

This thread is now "Most wanted parts thread!"

Both of your work is great! I ordered the seats from Phil. I plan on using them for my Daytona spider. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were option on the Daytona too? I see similar seats on the Daytonas.

Here's an idea: since the wheels will be available, what about side skirts and other body parts for the Hamann 599?

This might happen too but it will take a bit of time, hopefully not as long as the wheels!

I'll be traveling in a few hours and will have internet connection again only Sunday, I'll contact you then.
Have a nice weekend!

...or actually the Novitec 599, which I like better (a little more subtle).

Hmmm, not exactly, no. The seat insert pattern is the same but the seat frame is a different shape & size.
Funnily enough, I have a Fujimi Daytona kit and I was considering improving those seats.

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Cool, thanks for pointing that out. Well, I've been meaning to build a Dino (in Dino blue no less), and I'll wait for Daytona seats, should you improve them!

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Well, I ran into a real chairs and flares Dino 246 GTS today at the Lake Forest Sportscars open house near Chicago. They also have another almost identical car for sale at the dealer, if anyone is looking for a real one.

This is a full option car with air conditioning, wheels and Daytona seats.

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Thanks for your compliments.
I'll be away until Sunday evening.
However all the rims presented above will be available next Monday and the tires for the BBS Challenge should be good to go next Tuesday or Wednesday.
I'll keep you all updated.

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Just wanted to share some rather unpleasant experience with member Philmodelcar.
As soon as he posted a message that the seats are available, I sent him a PM asking whether he had two sets in stock, and how much it will be. After 3 days of silence, I got the following message:

Hello,
I have indeed casted the Dino seats made by Cheesey153.
If you want to order the seats, please send your message directly to my e-mail address : *** stating your complete postal address.
The price for one set is 16 USD shipping included and 25 USD for 2 sets.
Once payment with Paypal is received the seats will be sent.
Payapl address : ****
Thanks to let me know.
Phil (philmodelcar)

To which I responded with a PM:

Excellent! I'll forward the funds via Paypal for 2 sets shortly.
Thanks Phil.
Alex

Once the payment was sent, I PM him again:

payment has been sent.
Alex

Then I got a very rude response that follows?

Why can't people just follow instructions...
please send me your address ONLY BY E-MAIL if you want me to ship it !
thanks

I felt not only insulted by this manner, but a bit puzzled as to what caused him to write such an irritated response. So I PMed him again:

What's up Phil? Just having a bad day or had too much coffee? If you want people to buy stuff from you, how about you be more professional with your customers? What you wrote was absolutely uncalled for. I for one don't have time to write useless emails with my address when it is included with Paypal payment. This is what its for - look it up.
Alex

Only to get another insult today via email:

keep your money, please.
it's easier for me. I'm not a business partner, I have done this not to earn any money but to satisfy a few fellows and if you have no time to waset writting e-mails, I have no time to waste with you.
Now, you should know that on the e-mail received from Paypal, there is NONE delivery address.
Secondly the message I had sent to the e-mail address written in the Paypal message failed to deliver because of exceeded mailbox....
Adios.

My payment has been refunded.

While I agree that did not send an email with my address, it was included with the payment. My schedule is such that I simply forget things like that. Seller attitude was absolutely rude, and uncalled for. Make your own conclusions.

Wow that really sucks... I guess we'll just have to wait and see how he responds to the post, but I'm guessing I won't be getting these seats anytime soon...

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Wauw that is surprising since I too use Paypal allot and as I recall the shipping address is always included

Oh whell.

Could I get a quote on the 20 inch Hamann's (2 set's of 4 rims), The seats are $ 16 if I am correct.
Keep me updated for the Hamann body parts please.

I may have over seen something about the Dino rims but if someone made them I would like a quote on those too.

There so many good things on this forum that it just amazes me.

Many thanks,
Arno.

Re: Dino 246 'Daytona' insert seats.

Hello,
I will not add any comments to 360spider 's reply. It's not worth it.
I will just say that I have had excellent communication with all the other people who ordered the parts from me but unfortunately there is always in the lot an exception.
All satisfied members will probably agree and others don't...
that's life
:-)

Everything was all honey and milk 4 days ago when I left for a short holiday and now I find war around here.
Come on guys, let's not upset each other.
