Don't think Ron at AXIS will do group buys... his prices are cheap enough... My EJ22t is on its way to him for the stage 4 conversion

Hi,getting a sti block from the states can work out much cheaper!
I bought a new 05 sti block,new uprated oil pump(a must!),pair of sti metal head gaskets, and later spec water cross feed pipe(to clear the extra breather),for a grand total of $1600 including postage! This lot in the uk would have set me back about £1800. It was a U.S. auction on ebay.com.
So it can be done!
Keep in mind it will cost $300 for shipping,and try and come to an arrangement as regards the declared cost,otherwise you'll be paying 17.5% on top!

I've recently bought an S1 2.5L short motor from Crawford Performance, with forged pistons, including the fitting kit, shipping and import duties came to just over £2K.
