To be honest I really don't think there is much in it for T with this new kit. Not to mention the amount of people that will be ordering it then I ask him for a discount. I think he'll do a deal on the freight if we all get it send to one place here in Australia then one of us distributes it from there. I'm happy to do it but I know you and Vin are in QLD so I don't really mind either way.
What are your thoughts Matt & Vin.

Yeh that is true but I dont think its a good idea to be shipping 3+ kits in 1 box as it will go over the 1k amount and then incur additional fees and charges.

We can always get Terry to put a value of $500 on the box. I'm sure he'll do it. Let's see what Vinney says. Maybe he has the answer. I'm open to any suggestions. I just feel bad and don't want to push Terry on this as it's not finalized yet and you know how much he hates being hounded on things when he's still working on them.

Ok guys, it hurts to be the guinea pig!

Anyway, the kit hasn't finished as there is now some DP's going in too. So will be waiting till tomorrow for the finished product. But a word of advice, don't get the integrated kit, the tank is designed to fit in a 335 boot, so doesn't sit at all nicely in the corner of the boot.

You just couldn't wait could you Richard.
The Under Hood System will be ready anyday now.
Thanks for the wise words and I have a vert, my boot is much tighter than a 135 coupe.
Keep us posted on how it all goes and good luck.

Think I have one last question... Does the water have to be filtered or anything? Straight from the tap ok?

Just as a side note - i may have a need to have another few bits and pieces come over from the BMS. If it helps we can look at how we could bundle the shipping for the best result..

Out of interest, have you had to use shipitto or similar? or is T's rates good?

I just sent him an email asking about shipping a JB4, AR Catless, Jack Cover, Clutch Thing, Air intake (still contemplating the AFe though..)

Hey Paul,

T's shipping rates are very fair in my opinion. So are you going with the JB4? You won't regret it mate.

Why do I get the feeling AA have never done a meth kit before?

Does not sound so confident now and having trouble connecting up the VC2 with everything. Says the diagram isn't clear enough as to what goes where. Terry sent me a word doc on it, but it was corrupt and I could open it...

I guess every meth kit is abit different and with the JB4 integration it would take a little time for a mechanic to get his head around how this particular system works. It doesn't seem to complicated but glad it seems to be coming together. Forget downpipes when you have meth as meth will be your best friend, downpipes consistant.
