Default US Good Stuff...

If you had the opportunity to make 3 or 4 return trips to the states, with ample time over there to make some web orders and local deliveries... what would you buy?

I've already got my eye on a load of detailing stuff as it's loads cheaper there, but there are certain brands/products available over there which are more difficult to get hold of here.

Obviously I won't be bringing intercoolers and carbon roofs back in my hand luggage... but I've spotted a few smaller goodies already.

Have a look at the perrin site, you can spend quite a bit on really nice things and they will be a lot cheaper then here...

Just ask- there are enough of us US guys trolling ALL of the Subaru boards that we don't have issues with sending stuff. Just don't ask for a 2.2l closed deck block

Supertech titanium valve sets, springs and retainers etc, cambelt kits, injectors from 750 to 1000, fuel pressure regulators, head gaskets, ARP head studs, and bearings.

All in demand, light and easy to carry. cranks are fookin heavy although you could bring one back for me.

Gotta say I'm not a fan of the Perrin range - seems to be obnoxious pricing to me

I'm flying out for the first time a week on wednesday, will probably be making 4 or 5 return trips this year.
