New Parts for the VR6

Shipped on the 4th, considering I put the order in at ~2pm Sydney time that makes it about 12am their time. So they have got to work, picked, packed and dispatched same day. Now thats good service, especially for an overseas order.

The best thing... UPS have listed the due date:
Delivery Date: January 10, 2008

NICE!

Mark Davidson from German Auto Parts has been fantastic, replying to a number of emails very quickly.
The only downside, the last email said "invoice attached" and he forgot to attach it, but these things happen :?

I'm getting excited!

That's a lot of detail! And is that a New York suburb called Jamaica that I see?

Someone was almost as excited as Daddy to be opening a box!

Woo I get to play today!

Nice work from GAP, ordered 2pm Aus time on the 4th, delivered a shade under 5 days later, from New York! I tell you what, they will be getting my business again. Great work Mark and the team!

Oh that's SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Calling you tomorrow.

And now some parts are in:

Everything, including the new leads (and spark plugs you can't see):

And do you think I needed new plugs? They were stupidly tight in there too.

I'm getting impatient... I never expected these parts to get here so quickly, now I just want the coilovers and strut brace...

The down side of course is that I have to go back to work soon, which means less time to play :(

Thats awesome. I think i'll be paying that site a visit when I get paid soon... front window regulators for precaution, K&N air filter and some bushings...

Anyone considering a Sydney group buy?
