I always thought that anything over 1k would incur duty fee's unless a gift. I'd still enjoy hearing the story of how you "sort them out" though. Fisty's?

Fisty's..... That's a bit personal....

And it usually starts with a finger or two then moves on from there. You NEVER go straight for the fist.!!

Before anyone calls me racist, I too am lebo.

Yep anything over 1k will attract duty and GST - if you "sort them out" I want to know how too please! Good luck.

We should do a fast and furious style heist on the customs building.

This thing scared me today - like really scared me

I'm talking sub 5 second 0-100 from just a standstill flat foot no brake boosting and remembering its a pretty big turbo for a 2.0 litre auto and not fully tuned running 21psi

I'm not even joking now but the chassis sounded like it was twisting from the torque

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson.......POWA!!!!!!

Awesome Mick!

Bastards made me pay for it first and then apply for a refund which (surprise surprise) takes 4-6 weeks to process

So now gearbox cost is as follows:

Spare gearbox purchase $1000
Acme kit : $2700 aud
Piston core deposit: $1080 aud
Valve body and core $1350 aud
Shipping and insurance $ 350 aud
Customs duty and gst: $ 580
Cost to ship back: $350 aud
Labour cost to assemble $500

Total $7960

Less core exh refunds. : $1800 aud
Less sale of spare box: $ 800
Less customs refund : $ 444

Net cost $4915

Expensive exercise for handling extra powaaah!

Don't get ahead of yourself cowboy. You don't have a car at this moment in time.
