You know its getting kind of trying when I have to chime in on posts about stand alones and correct the major errors. I don’t want to come across as a major know it all, but sometimes the significant technical errors just have to be corrected so that the people reading the posts won’t get the wrong idea and run off a purchase something they don’t need.
It’s not a ‘vanilla’ envelope – it’s a ‘Manila’ envelope….
Other than that it looks like a pretty good deal!

You will see how crazy well i packed it. Well, maybe its a bit unraveled after that trip, but It wasn't from lack of effort from me. 
Take care of her. I had big plans. The torch is now yours.

Yup. I also think it was more likely to be picked up, coming in through USPS and thus AusPost.
I've had many things shipped in >1000$ on freight carriers like UPS and DHL, and never been bothered.
Last two items coming in through AusPost .... BAM ... taxes

When i bought my turbo from usa, i had the forms fulled out that go through customs to say its $900 so it dosn't get taxed.
just hope the seller at the other end is nice enough to do it for you, usually it isn't a problem

It becomes Vanilla when you lick the glue!
USPS - Customs - Oz Post...the trifecta from hell. I waited over two months for some gear from the U.S. after I had been advised that it had landed in Sydney. Then the taxes plus all the b/s processing fees....

The 2.5L motor out of the car. It had a dying head gasket, and was using some water, so I pulled it down.
Going for a bigger turbo (something bolt on, like the LR Super53), cooler, injectors, a bit of headwork etc; I'm shooting for a solid 350rwhp without running insane boost.
Edit - will be running strictly on the Premium Unleaded / Vortex 98RON pump mix we get here; I dunno about e85 availability on Oz at the mo.
