Problems with RnR Racing

Just want to vent my frustration at RnR Racing. It had been over a month now that they advertised for a set of Hks 264 camshafts. The exhaust is new and the intake is used. They stated they are swapping out of their car for 272's. Well these camshaft were like a needle in a haystack. Everybody had it on back order. I bought it and what came was two 264's intake(one is new and one is used) . Had to cancelled the install appointment. Had a hell of a time contacting them, never answer their phone, left numerous message finally go hold of Ryan and send back one of the duplicate intake. It took more than a week later to get the new "exhaust"264 camshaft. Did not bother looking at it since it was new and the wrapping stated 264 EX. Well today, took it to the shop for the installation and lord and behold it was another intake I felt like a moron being dupe by a supposedly professional tuner shop that mod evo heavily. They should know at least intake and exhaust camshaft right??? Try to get a hold and left message again WTF, I am pissed and just want to vent my frustration on this company.

Just want to update on the whole situation. Finally got an email back from Ryan at RnR racing and they deny sending me the wrong camshaft and stating my mechanics does not know his camshaft. So to verify their statement I took the camshaft to a popular mitsu tuning shop in my area AMS (automotosports.com) just to be certain. Well four guys there at AMS took a look at it and what do you know it is the wrong camshaft. Not only is it the wrong camshaft it is a camshaft for the eclypse. WTF these guys (RnR racing)advertised they have the fastest evo in the usa and they don't even know their camshafts. Hmmmm
Maybe they are the fastest bull****er in the USA.
