Anyone know these forged goodies

Post by PAKIMONSTER »

I was looking on the net for suppliers of forged bits and I found these. Have not heard of them before so I was wondering if anyone has used/heard of these before...

Some feedback would be appreciated.

The pistons are some of the best quality items around. Never heard of PEC rods though..

Ian is crazy, just ordered for my CA, CP at $555 and Spool/K1 rods at $370.

And to be honest I got my dealer discount off the above prices...

Well I got a price on pistons only and it's R6500. So considering R5200 for CP imported what are you going to pay for shipping and duties? I have a friend in AUS looking at cost there locally and then sending them ove to me. The plan is for him to send as a gift. Then there should be no duties... I hope.

Lol that doesn't fool SARS, I have imported alot of stuff from different corners of the globe over the last couple of years mostly getting marked as gifts, the only things they let through as gifts are in envelopes or jiffy bags. What could fool them is if the "value" on the declaration is low. You still pay, but less. Depending if you taking insurance or not this might bite you in the ass if it gets lost.
