Looks very nice.
So $800 is £471.78 (at todays exhchange rate). Plus import cost and vat and your talking about £610 and then shipping which i have no idea how much that is.
Seems better than £1116 charged for the Blitz, HKS etc from dealers

Hybrid market 2 bar and plate i/c cores the super (450 x 300 x 76) and the monster (600 x 300 x 76), do you know which one this is?
That price is excellent, the hybrid is quite well known in Oz where a full monster kit retails at around 1400AUD (880AUD for the core only).
Do you have a price for core only?

Group buy does sound good 
.
The pipework layout looks very similar to the Apexi kit, some good points and some bad points. The worst being the almost 180deg bend straight after it comes off the turbo. At that price tho... who can argue?

Cube,
IIRC, the last time I bought anything from the US, our lovely Customs and Excise chappies stung me for 10% import duty and VAT on top of all that.
It can 'hike' the price up quite considerably.

Awaiting E-Mail reply from Hybrid regarding Andrew's questions. I've also sent the PDF file to those interested. If anybody could provide a link and host it that would be useful.
