hmmm, any info on shipping an exhaust system from japan? nengun says ill have to organize my own shipping since its too big for them or something.

[MISHI]

Why don't you browse the mitsubishi lancer register foruma and see?

You may find places recommended to buy CD/E 9A systems...

MISHI,thnx for the links. will send them along with some other sites some emails on shipping. im getting the systems, just shipping is a prob since some sites say its too large and i will have to organize the shipping on my own.

[MISHI]

Get an ezone account. You'll get a london address as well...

How much will it cost in total for the exhaust including shipping.

Like i said, I did mine locally and the difference. The guy i went to has a lot of experience in what he is doing. To each his own eh but i think the locally will be much more feasable. I have heard on many occasions on the 321 and LR forums of guys buying ready made kits and having to still modify them in some small way of the other to make it fit perfect without touching. I would not like to spend 5000TTD on a ready made brand name system only to have it cut in some places to make it work.

[MISHI]

Well if it costs 650 sterling which is $6825.00 TT (which i find is crazy)

Then you have to factor the 30% duty in this case $2047.50

Then you have to add VAT 15% to that which is say $1330.88

Then usually a package like that is about 20kgs which would be about $ 840.00

So your looking at total $11043.38

Which is honestly ridiculous as in the first place, UK prices MUCH more then US...

But that would be the WORST CASE scenario as someimes depending on the box size & on the good graces of the officer dealing with your package, the prices could be less...

Too many uncertainties. Like I said, 4k giving you a really well finished exhaust from a man with 25 yrs experience.

[MISHI]

not disagreeing with you at all... agreed on the fact that it is a good option, but i'm just working on the basis of longevity and ease of install (and removal) for cases such as removal of your gas tank...

Personally if i could do it all over again with 9630 or the day i decide to buy an AWD gas tank, I would go with the bolt on item.

I am sure that the prices can be found cheaper...

[Death-Row]

what about shipping the item to a "yard" where a friend is packing a container for trinidad? domestic shipping in japan cheap?

i need to do over my exhaust, wanna do something good and done.

Ease of installation and removal is up to you and the guy doing it for you. If you tell him where you want flanged points you can have it made. Like a flange point just before the gas tank to drop it and be able to access everything down there. Its just a matter of design.

[janfar]

Allyuh get well quiet boy!!!

[MISHI]

no it's a valid point...not much to say after that. once they can do that properly here it's all well and fine.

[Death-Row]

janfar,well that should be a good thing, that everyone quiet

well so far, my car has been doing well, shifter probs down to a minimum. basically, just enjoying the car for now as a daily driver. i still wanna do the poly bushings tho since my current bushings are GONEEE

[janfar]

See if yuh could get W2J to bring them down as a set... soldave stop answering emails completely so I aint know whats going on with him.

[Swift Boy]

soldave got banned

[janfar]

Well, he get banned. I was communicating with him via email and not PM. He is still on geekmapped (http://www.geekmapped.com/forums/index.php) and frequents the DSM sites.

[Death-Row]

janfar,yea, w2j said to bring in my stuff once i take it out from the car and he'll compare it to what he has, if its not in stock, i guess he can bring in a set for me. just time. past few months was spent on the car, everyday doing something, so im taking a lil rest. will start back next month. my starter playin the ass now too.

yea, soldave not responding to msn messenger messages or emails.

[janfar]

If hes getting poly bushes i will definitely be taking a set.

I need to install an external to stop all the mad spiking when i get back though, that priority right now. I was thinking about modding the original exhaust manifold with a flange on top to take the wastegate then plumb it down to join the down pipe. That means pulling down my exhaust again, for the millionth time...

[Death-Row]

so whats the latest?

[janfar]

I on wuk, it have no evos here...

Many scooters though...

And guana like rain, wonder what would happen if i cut up and freeze bout 12 and bring home.

[Death-Row]

well i still aint service meh starter yet, timeeeeeeeee, working night these days so my schedule screwed up.

[*KRONIK*]

And guana like rain, wonder what would happen if i cut up and freeze bout 12 and bring home.

i want!!!

[janfar]

What wrong with the starter???

Anybody ever look into the ostrich mappable ecu system???

[Death-Row]

ok well, i not sure its the starter now, could be a electrical prob. my turbo timer stop working now fuggin pressure after pressure, i need a drink

[janfar]

It happens dude. If i give you the story of my evo you will cry. I bought the car in January and wasnt able to really drive it till maybe March... pressure after pressure after pressure. From parts to mechanic to gas tank to clutch.

[Death-Row]

janfar,

[janfar]

janfar,

I kid you not. Thats why i do all my work myself. Change my own clutch. All oils. Suspension parts. Align and camber. The works.

[Death-Row]

i myself did alot of stuff, prev owner wasnt a bad owner, just didnt have much time i think plus the car was parked up for a time. i got my car up and running in good condition about 2 months after i got it. still fixin but soon ill be rollin in a good working car, i hope

[janfar]

Same with me. Everytime i improve i reach another bump in the road. Nows it boost creep. Its an ongoing process i guess. I hope to have my car to its peake soon. Its hard having to work on the car month on month off.
