Sparky Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Good news mate but that is a steep price considering what you paid for them etc!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 unfortuantly mate thats how it is. whenever i get stuff over from japan the price has to fly up because of all the landing costs. its SO gay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
!Rush! Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think we have decided to get them delivered so we dont have to messabout.Should be good getting the engines in about a week and also tryin to pick my car next week aswell, Courtesy of idrees.Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 As Alex has said we have just decided to leave it all to the shipping company to get it to my front door. It would use roughly the same amount in petrol as it would cost to get them delivered. So we thought we would just save the hassle and the 10 hours in a van or car and just leave it to the pro's.The engines are being delivered in a tail lift van so we have to get a pump truck to wheel them into my garage where they will be securly locked up until the cars and us are ready for fitting them.My room in my house also has a direct view of the garage aswell so i will be keeping my beady eye on them.As you said Rick the costs when they arrive are through the roof. The guy who sent them also only put that they are valued at £300 each on the invoice aswell. I guess it's all the other little things that add up aswell. It is only a little problem but we may have to delay the fitting of them now as we wern't expecting such a high price.As soon as we get our hands on them i'll get the camera out!!!!

Bourkey Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Update timeI havn't posted an update on these as they have been stressing me out lately.As some of you may know Alex has had to sell his but obviously im still in charge of getting both engines to my house regardless of who the other one belongs to. The shipping company in charge of them since they have got into England have added a load of rent to the orginal £487.22 so the final price came to a stupid £646.70. I've used up the last of my conversion fund for this now so any part i get like intercooler will have to wait until my next payday asi don't want to make myself super skint.Anyway the final cost was paid this morning and customs are going to release them on Tuesday, And then they will arrive at my house on Thursday. I have had to take a day off work for them aswell.When im feeling stressed i have to look at the pictures and watch some vidoes of Glanza's and GT's to cheer me up.But everything is organised and sorted i just have to wait for the knock at the door, which im bouncing with excitement about now!!!!!Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 looks liek the easy bit is almost sorted out mate.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Oh well never mind!!!Everything is running smooth again now so i don't need to worry about it. I think it is because i've never imported anything as big as this so if i do it again then i know what im doing.Apart from this little delay at customs i've had no problems at all.Bring on Thursday.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So close !!!Damn one of those engines should have been mine :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've just watched that video now im home and it's mint. Stop getting me all excited....no don't stop actually.@ Sparky - You will br turbo'd one day. I'll be on your back until you are!!!!I've heard there is a magical valve somewhere that allows you to brake on boost, im guessing im gonna need this. Does anyone know if this will be on my engine or will i need to get one. Also could someone put a pic of one up.CheersBourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So who had the other motor if you dont mind me asking>? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yep thats the one. That is another little bit of weight off my mind now. I have two things to get now. Intercooler and dump valve then it's being fitted. Im getting all excited now. I won be able to sleep now until i see it.As for the other engine. It went to a new member called Dean. He hasn't said hello yet but he said he will do in the near future. He registered to ask me for the engine aswell.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've taken a day off work today for the arrival of these engines.So far they have not arrived. I hate being off work as there is nothing to do. I might wash my car while im waiting. Any students on now with any top tips of things to do??? Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've been up since 7 as well as i was dead excited!!!
