[CA19DET]

who can get some of this stuff, i want one of those TRUST turbo manifolds, badly... at less than $200 it is a deal.

[ride4lame]

We should rent a jet, buy a ton of stuff, then divvy it up at a 240 meet. Anybody here have a jet?

[andrave]

don't need a jet just find someone in the army there with basic japanese skills and they can ship it back relatively cheaply (though relatively illegally).Not engines and stuff though, just small parts like turbos, pistons, manifolds...

[NeedCAforS13]

we already have someone

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/ As long as you translate just a few words at a time this works fairly well. I dont see why no one will sell internationally. If paypal went international we could get awsome part nice and cheap.

Eric

[CA19DET]

if payapl went international i would spend waaay too much money

[rtsol]

haha.......i have a yahoo japan account. shipping is real expensive. two sets of ITBs and a panhard bar (along with a few other small accesories) cost $257!!! for shipping ALONE!! everything is sent EMS.

[andrave]

yeah ems is too friggin expensive. but what are you options, unless you wanna wait months for a boat to get here...

[rtsol]

ya true. its really only worth it if you get something you really want @ a really cheap price. like one of the ITBs, the auction ended at like $17! and theyre woth like $300.

[vwluv10338]

but all the auctions say seller will not ship internationally. How are people in the US buying stuff?

Eric

[rtsol]

thats my little secret. hehehe

[NeedCAforS13]

aww come on!:D I wanna know!!!

Sean

[vwluv10338]

Common the moderator wants to know. Now you have to tell.

Eric

[andrave]

what is an ITB and if you are gonna post, please tell us what is up, there are a lot of parts there and its not like many of us are gonna pony up for shipping to compete with you...

[NeedCAforS13]

individual throttle body! (ITB) now please do tell! I bought that front STB off you remember!?!(strut tower bar for you andrave;))

Sean

[rtsol]

sorry, cant do it. if any of you CA guys want anything on yahoo japan, let me know. ill charge what it cost me plus a couple bucks for a 6 pack or sumthin. one thing, im not really rollin in dough, so id have to have the money when the auction closes. then when im quoted a shipping price, youd have to cover that. no questions asked. sorry if it sounds fishy but thats how all my experiences have been. if you win the right auctions, youll come out ahead. my stuff was worth about 30% more than what i paid on the latest order(shipping included)

[NeedCAforS13]

i'll email you if I see anything I want:D...
