I finally got my clip w/ bodyparts

Post by **brent** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

I finally picked up my clip yesterday and everthing is very clean and looks very good. I will be installing it this weekend so we'll se if in runs. According to the odometer it has 59xxx kilometers on it. I guess that would account for it being in good shape, or its a gauge cluster from a different car. Time will tell. I have pics of everything, but have no idea how to post them

Paper work. Did they take care or you had to get a broker?

Did you get the whole clip or was it striped and crated. If it was in a crate is there anything that they didn't put in it that would have been on the clip itself? Thanks

Post by **brent** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

they paid for all of the shipping. I had to pay a $50.00 handling fee to Unicargo Express, and a $15.00 fee to Tax Air. I also had to pay customs a 2.5 % duty on its declared value, which I told them was $1000 (they don't ask for proof of what you paid). The only paperwork I had to take care of was sending a bill of lading to Unicargo Express and signing a few things at customs. If it is for personal use, you don't need a broker.

I got the whole clip, talk about a big crate. It weighed 1213 lbs and was 89"x75"x42" but everything was well packed and in good condition.

Is the valve cover dented?? It looks damaged from this angle...

Post by **DonDonati88** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

wait a minute you got the body panels and the motor all for $1600!!!!!!!!!??????

Post by **GodzillaFan** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

i belive that was flashoptions old price... I could be wrong.

Post by **Onizuka** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

looks a little beat up but not bad at all. good to see that flashoptions is not ripping people off. Have you tried starting it yet?

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

jeeze, if he got that for 1600 things are going to have to change around here. I mean 1000 for a front end conversion, 2500 for a motor set, and about 1000 for a RHD conversion if you can find the parts. for 1600 i'll take 2.

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

guess i clicked twice.

Post by **crypt2k** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

****... im gonna check them out.

Post by **brent** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

the valve cover is not dented, the plastic piece that covers the coils is not bolted down tight. I got it running and drove about 50 miles today, it runs great

Post by **issanni** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

If you don't mind me asking, how much in total did you have to pay for the clip? (clip + shipping + customs+ etc) You can PM me the price if you'd like. I'm seriously weighing my options between flashoptions (no pun intended) and osakajdm only because I'm on a very very tight budget as I have other major expenses that need to get taken care of. Thanks.

Post by **Shawn Watson** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:40 pm

I thought flash options stripped the clip down and just sent all the parts off the clip but not the frame. this picture obviously shows that they sent you a entire intact clip. Hmmm. wonder why they did that.

By the way the price is now $2100 shiped to a coastal port in the us.

yeah brent was one of their first customers. And they normally do strip clips, but you can also ask for the whole clip with body panels, its extra though.
