yeh, so true mate...

jerry has followed up and apologised many times this week for not getting my turbo out in time. It was quite disappointing to begin with, but in time i am still happy with my decision to get it off of him.

Now the wait.. We'll see how long it takes from the US through to WA.

As a guide I ordered a set of golf clubs from the states the other day air freight and that took 11 days from when it was posted to when it rocked up.

Jerry was very helpful and knowledgeable with any technical questions as well. That little Monster is still punching a 12.8 qtr mile. Relax it will arrive.

Love the way people who have never dealt with Deadbolt wade in to dish the shit. Yeah small ebay shop...Deadbolt Enterprises

Golf clubs are heaps cheaper in the states. Depends what you want.

Golf shops dont make much money out of the latest model taylor made drivers etc. They make shit loads on the no name generic sets with bag and buggy / putter etc for $500. Dont buy golf bags from the states cause they cost too much to ship.

A mate bought a set from this website and swears by it. I have not used it though.

They sell a lot of 'last seasons' stuff which is great is your not planning on being the next big thing.

thanks mate, heading to that link.. don't know what i'm looking for there, so i'll send it through to some friends

no updates as of yet from usps, i hope that doesn't mean it's still sitting there..

need to pick up a new front mount [one to fit in without cutting the ra] and injectors, i just can't see me getting the power i want without that.
