Really..........thought it would be a good idea, but know where you are coming from

Cant find Mike Smith manifolds on Z1 site. They do the AMS manifolds (apparently Mike smith replicas) for $495.

 

CZP do the Mike Smith manifolds for $695

Seem to remember that someone well respected on here, said the AMS were superior to the Mike Smith manifolds, as AMS had "improved" the design rather than just copying it. hth

I will be ordering if my injectors turn up, not far away either mate

well thats good news because i've got the AMS on mine :)

Sorry fella I ment AMS ...............czp same company as speciality z because thats the same price as theirs!

Keep in touch Rob.... they are not for me but the fella who has Silver Streak! but I said I will sort them out due to his lack of inernet!

Could well be interested in combining costs if you're still going ahead?

Hi

 

I need some Ams manifolds and a couple of other bits so would be up for sharing postage costs.

 

Just let me know

You cant combine costs,every item is weighed and thats how its priced for shipping,its the only way it can be done.

:cursing:

Just emailed z1 guys, to see if we can get a discount on 3 sets:whistling:

 

Dont hold your breath as you know I tried to organise a group buy before and after they said yes when I tried to buy them they never ever contacted me back !!!

 

Dave

Has anybody ever got these manifolds direct from ams??

Just had an email back to say will ship me 3 for $1670.00 if my calculations are correct this should be £350.00 each!

 

Does this mean it will cost me £1051.00 total or will the customs cost be ontop??

Customs will go on top of this I'm afraid. iirc correct budget for around a 20% increase..

Per unit or total cost?

 

That makes it £420 each:cursing:

On a Grand id expect to pay around £150 ish going on my previous purchases.

all the couriers collect customs charges on behalf of HMRC.

These charges always include VAT at 20% and sometimes import duty too. In addition they charge a handling fee.

Like Jimmer and others I regularly bring stuff in from the US.

Here is a recent example to show you how it works.......

Goods were $80

Shipping was $47.95 with USPS Flat rate box.

Total $127.95

Parcel Farce converted that in to £80 approx and charged £16.21 in VAT . No import duty.

But £8 clearance/handling fee. Total £24.21.

So my item cost me £104 approx .

HTH.

This country is ran on taxes...........anybody going to the states soon and has a large suitcase:whistling:

I want to order an exhaust system but the shipping and tax is silly.

Been trying to source exhausts in the UK and coming up with nothing. Might have to bite the bullet and just order.

Gibster, i would have one custom made bud. I fancied a B&B exhaust from the states but price + delivery + charges = mental.

 

As for importing from the states.

 

IMO, always avoid USPS. They take forever, always hold items in customs and pass onto ParcelForce who charge for handling and clearance.

 

I always find FedEx much quicker and cheaper. I have brought piles of stuff in from the states via FedEx and it always arrives within a couple of days

So can you choose who z1 uses to send parts over??
