Haven't got a clue buddy. We only supply, we don't do anything technical here. I wish we did as I'd get our Evo up to big BHP on the cheap.

No worries fella.

For future reference for people who want parts, I need the brand and name of the item. A web link would be a great help also if it's not a brand on our site already.

Hi Nick,

Just before we get too excited here, Im going to send you a PM with a few business related questions that we (FTO Aus committee) would need answered for our records before we approve you to trade on this site.

Cheers,
Ben

OK Ben, I apologise for not coming to you first. I got a bit distracted.

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 12:31 pm

Ahhh that'd be my bad...

Sorry thought contact had already been established...

Hope you do well on here Nick.. and know that we have UK members and members that travel to the UK.. Last guy that ripped us off will probably receive a few visits over time...

You wasn't to know mate.

What happened with somebody else? Another trader? From the UK?

Long story... He is no longer allowed on the forums..

Supplied bodykits that were useless... no body shop in australia could fit any of them.. He refused to co-operate or give refunds etc...

and is quickly becoming banned in other UK sites for same sort of sh*t...

No more details are usually supplied in the public part of the forums...

However a lot of members will PM you the story if u like..

Ben may tell you but its up to his discretion...

Just saying, that a lot of members may be cautious at first and you will probably really need to prove yourself to get peoples trust. This is due to being burnt before..

Just because ppl are in another country they think we cant get them..

it just takes time...... lol...

by the way... this isnt directed at you.. just explaining why some may be tentative.

Do you know what comany it was? If you can say. Were they replica kits? If so, then that's one of the reasons we only deal with genuine brand new items. There is a lot less problems doing it this way. Sure it's normally more expensive, but not normally in the long run after having to pay loads more in bodyshop charges etc.

I know what it's like to be mucked about, that's one of the reasons I decided to start my business, because most of the other UK traders just want to take your money and not actually bother with you much after that. The customer service is terrible normally I found.

I'm obsessed with Japanese cars so I'm always excited to see new kits and products that come out. I just got a load of new issues of Hyper Rev (do you guys get this?) and it's like Christmas!

I think my missus has slowing realised how important Japanese cars are to me!

She just lets me get on with it now! Phew, at last!

Took a look at your site...

Noticed Tein Coilover suspension...

$530GBP.... Which works out at $1250 AU....

Not bad price... Do these come with pillowtops?? etc??

Trojansport · Post by **Trojansport** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 1:12 pm

Don't forget to add vat. All the prices on our site are plus vat, like 99% of UK dealers pricing.

Tein don't offer top mounts for the FTO fitment as a package. Not sure why.

Yeah but we're exempted from VAT?

Trojansport · Post by **Trojansport** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 1:49 pm

Are you!? See I told you we hadn't sent anything to Australia before!?

I'll look into the details of that then.

Supplies to non-EU countries (i.e. Australia) should be zero-rated VAT. HMRC should be able to give you more info.
