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

UPDATE
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

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.

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!!

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? |

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. |
