Some of the threads were old and I thought I'd share this link as well as asking a question....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT


Anyone know how large these are in their packaged state???  

I was hoping to get this shipped to a friend in UK and they could bring it back to Canada with them.

Too much trouble, or totally worth the hassle?

ps.  just heard about Stretch.  Glad you're ok!
you guys made me think of Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time"--reconstructing a Tiger from parts... ;)

Did you ask them if and how much to ship to you?  I've found most of the UK dealers WILL ship overseas, and if they do it often enough have very reasonable shipping fees.

Seems if the ship a few parcels a day out of the country, they get a pretty steep discount.

They come in a box not too much bigger than the exhaust...  7x11x34 (inches).  Well under 10 pounds.

No, it's a UK sale and from the shipping details on eBay, they ship as far as the EU.

Also, the customs and duties on parcels arriving here in Canada is nothing short of ridiculous, so getting a friend to bring it with their luggage is an option worth pursuing.  

115 GBP sounds like a good deal--only 5 left!

I know that's what their site states, but I've persuaded many UK sellers to ship to me, especially commercial ones.

I'm not sure how much UK-CA rates differ from UK-USA rates, but that can from a private seller would probably cost $120USD to ship to me, but from a business that ships to the USA often it could cost as little as $25.

Worth it, the can sounds great, but as it says you need a re map. Mine was £200 about five years ago so the price is good. Have to say I'm tempted for my 05 in Canada, how much space has your friend got in his luggage  :lol:
