Hope you didn't buy from Steve, at Serano's they have gone bust. I got done for just over 2k of goodies ( spindles, heads and crank). Luckily VISA
was able to recover the $$$ after about 60 days.

Yeah-just bought a High Torque starter motor from CIP1-arrived in 6 days and cost AU$294.00 with freight.Perhaps should have bought a spare when they
are so cheap.
squizy - October 11th, 2007 at 01:24 PM
CIP1 are excellent. Delivery is very fast.
flipflopsurfer - October 11th, 2007 at 03:25 PM
nbturbo, how did you get that price, if you don't mind me asking, i'm after a hi torque, just checked CIP1 and it works out at $352

not to mention a great time to go abroad too

Hey has anyone used other forms of getting parts back from the US? aside from FEDEX I mean?
I looked at a few parts from CIP1 and they wanted to charge almost as much as the bits in shipping!!

Who was that through if you dont mind saying?
I'm about to order some Ball Joint ones & that sounds a bit cheaper even with Airmail.

I brought a LOT of BMW stuff in from the States in the last 12 months (full rebuild of an M5 engine....new shocks, etc) - and mostly just used USPS.
Most I ever paid on any shipment was about $80US for freight - but given that the prices were one fifth of what the local stealer wanted........
Don't forget to keep your orders under $1k or else you might be paying duty.
BTW - word on the street is high 90's next year.

No sympathy mate - I took the family (all 5 classed as adults) to the UK & Ireland in 2001 - when it was in the low 40's - and three bucks to the
pound. I paid Oz$90 for morning tea at one stop.
flipflopsurfer - October 12th, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Maybe it was cheap shipping day or something, yesterday I got quoted $164 using their system and today it's $104.

I think that it's the right time for me to get some wheels for the buggy then.
This is what I'm thinking of......

Thanks mate, thats who I was going to order them through but your shipping price seemed cheaper than what I could get off their website, I might go
through the samba add & see if there is any difference.
Thanks again

Greg is extremely helpful, i've just ordered my set of Dropped Spindles from him. Shipping was more expensive through the checkout on the parts site,
so i just emailed him. Answered back straight away. I can't wait to have some suspension on my baby, kinda sick of my boobs hitting me in the face on
every bump!

I bought some VW seals from CIP1 a couple of months ago...
Air freight for One seal was $70-00
for about 10 seals, wasn't much higher....
