importing stuff from japan

[Apolan]

Hi,

i know we had a discussion on this topic already, just cant seem to find that thread.. Anyway, i've done some calculations, how much would a full rebuild + minor tune up cost for a 4a-ge and it just doesnt make any sense to do it, when the blacktop engines sell for 200-400euros in japan. thats oem engines with less than 100k kms on the clock, tested, with ecu and harness and everything.. not to mention the silvery ones wich go dor even less.

aside from that, there is a gazzillion of other lovely hachi bits there.. everything from smoking wheels to null D wheels (nardi lol).. everything for a fist full of dollars.. just take a stroll down the auctions.yahoo.co.jp.. i mean just check out theese wheels and say that they are not the coolest thing you've ever seen..



anyway, the problem is this one little sentance, which can bi found on virtually every auction page: Seller will not ship internationally.

So now what do you do? how do you get a 300 eur blacktop here? i can spend 1000 eur on my engine and it would not run as half as strong as the 20v.. not to mention you get a factory reliable engine which is a practically a race engine in its oem form.

this sucks
