You had it sent by Sea/Ground shipping didn't you, I betcha all those anxious days of waiting for it and worries about what *might* have happened to your beloved manifold, wasn't worth the money you saved LOL correct ?
Just do what I *dream I* do, send it by Global EMS, it comes with a tracking number, have it marked as gift, valued at $50 or so and the money you save on no customs duty, contributes to the 3 day delivery, just remember to have the invoice sent seperately otherwise you'll get caught out if they decide to randomly select yours for checking....
I do not in any way encourage readers to circumvent customs duty by my comments above and can not be held responsible for their actions.
Actually, it was supposed to be sent EMS.. don't know what the hell happened to it.. I WAS getting pretty anxious though!
Yay.. it fits (kinda!). I had to jack the engine up a bit and the steering box is REALLY close to the wastegate pipe, but that's ok. Lucky I haven't done the engine mounts yet.
Nah, haven't done much to it lately. Combination of laziness, no money and spending too much time fixing my other car. Other car seems to be working ok for now so I can concentrate a bit more on the 'good' car :)
Will probably try to finish the spraypainting soon as winter is pretty much over now.
