Cool

Is it just me or are mail order bits from the states a sh*t load cheaper than here. Check out this site for an example www.procarparts.com, quickshift for $30, very nice air filter with heat guard for simmilar price, very nice bodykits an all for the new age impreza, reckon i'll be sending of for some bits soon, obviously will take a while to arrive though. Checking out some other stateside sites as well, will keep you all posted of my findings.

and one more, www.turboxs.com, they brag about having an 11 sec wrx, and they sell the loudest dump valves made for $179 which i think is about £140, not to bad at all.

Remember you'll have tp pay import duty (possibly if custoims get interested) + VAT + shipping charges on any parts ordered, which tends to even out the price somewhat

You think you may have a deal until the courier asks for more dough on your doorstep.

I'm going to ask my uncle to bring some stuff over. He gets to bring a golf bag which he can fill with say 14-20 Odessey putters.
Here £120+ while he can get them stateside for $50 each.

We get stung every time we stick our hands in our pockets.
