maybee... there has been some talk about it... but i'll see how i go...

there isn't too much that can be done for an auto 325, BUT, that isn't really what i bought it for either. it's a cruiser, not a racer

[astra]

ok, PISSED OFF today...

just found out that my bodykit and suspension hasn't even left the USA yet!! wtf... i have issues with people lieing!

I was sent a shipping conformation from the people i bought from, although they never sent the item!

so here i am patiently waiting for the parts to arrive at my house, thinking they should have just about cleared Australian customs by now, when i send them an email cos they should be here by now, and now they say they didn't even send them, cos they were waiting on an item...

BS, it doesn't take 4 weeks to order an item from your own country... they either broke something of mine, or sold it to someone local, now have to re order my parts...

everything is conspiring against my car lately...

ahh had to vent that

I would be the same, if not more so. I am very impatient and hate being let down by suppliers. (I go out of my way to ensure others are looked after so I expect the same standard in return).

Any idea on delivery time?

Cheers.

That probably means you will be "kitless" on the Bathurst run.

Cheers.

[astra]

Hey Astra - you're my test case for overseas orders - it was all looking so good and so cheap! Now I'm wondering if I should pay the extra $ and buy my Rieger parts from a local distributor. Hope you get your stuff soon cause I really want to see the pics.

nah, there was a reason for the lateness....

i don't mind waiting a little longer if i only have to pay LESS THEN HALF the price

the parts will be here soon enough, so stay tuned

[CaptOz]

Astra, I'm making you my official BMW tuner. I will take your advice to turn my 335i into the “individual” it should be.

Cheers.

that's dangerous

[astra]

OK, this is officially getting frustrating

FedEx has shipped all my items, they are in 4 boxes... 3 are well and truley on their way, and one has been delayed in america... it is the coilovers (i can see this from the package weight), but i would of thought if anything was delayed it would be the spoiler (because i didn't think an odd sized package, made of those materials) could come by airmail... they have upgraded me to express mail rather then sea mail because of all the stuffing around i would presume... so atleast that's good

ahh, just frustrated cos one has been delayed but i am assuming it is because it would look odd in the xray thingy, and it is a very heavy package, more then 30 kilos!!

[astra]

ok, finally all 4 of the packages containing my car parts are in australia!

3 out of 4 of them have cleared customs, and has made it's way to the fedex facility at alexandria... the other is still waiting at sydney airport to be cleared...

this is so exciting! they are finally here! and they will be at my house within the next 2 days

here is their amazing journey around the globe...

Glad it worked out, although I'm not sure why you didn't source the bigger stuff like the coilovers locally.

At least its in country and on the way, who are you going to have fit it all up?

i ordered it from overseas for 2 reasons... firstly because it was easier to order everything from the one guy, and seccondly because it still worked out cheaper ordering the coilovers from overseas

not sure yet who i am going to have fit everything, i have been recomended a good mechanic though. i still have to think about getting the bodykit painted, and for that, i was going to use my body shop (north shore classic)

[1q2w3e4r]

Cool, sounds good! Never heard of North Shore Classic where are they?

[1q2w3e4r]

Yeah I know where it is now! used to have offices above the bike shop

[BMW //MPOWER]

Well, well, well, it looks like the parts may get here before christmas!

[CaptOz]

Speaking of parts, guess what email I received today!!!!!!

This message was sent to you at the request of Vishnu Performance Systems to notify you that the package information below has been transmitted to UPS. The package(s) may not have actually been placed with UPS for shipment. To verify when and if the shipment was tendered to UPS and its actual transit status, click on the tracking link below or contact Vishnu Performance Systems directly.

That means my PROcede is on its way.

Astra, we may both be receiving packages at the same time.

Cheers.

AARRGHH....

Mine is estimated for June 12. Sigh.

That’s $1,500 you can use to shout the beers at our Dee Why meet.

Cheers.
