especially for us on guam... not only will the price of the part will kill you... so will the shipping

double edged sword

and also just because we live on guam shipping stuff from japan to here is just as expensive as it was to ship it in from cali

which totally is BS to me because japan is like 3-4 hours away

What r u ordering from Japan?

simota1 · 11-01-2012, 02:22 AM

my JNEXT fender extensions..... i paid more than what i paid kenchan and he shipped it i believe from Lousiana... almost double....

I just left the post office and it cost me 383.00 to ship both heads to Ca. The heads are finally shipped to GTM to have the head work done. Here are some pics of the block without the heads.

wow man... for how heavy the heads are thats honestly not too bad.... priority mail accepted it even if it was super heavy?

Navyboy916 · 11-01-2012, 08:46 AM

Yes each head weighs 50lbs. That also included the packaging

Unique_Z · 11-01-2012, 10:25 AM

50 pounds huh? Hehehe. Looking forward to this once my fund is up

Navyboy916 · 11-01-2012, 04:20 PM

Yes I will be happy when they come back. I have a lot of other parts going when the heads come back (I.e, trans cooler, nst pulleys, sprint booster, Hks plugs,and I just order the all aluminum motor mounts, arp L19 11mm head bolts, cosworth head gaskets)

i wonder what you will hit at the track

Navyboy916 · 11-01-2012, 04:48 PM

We will see of course but the track here blows so not sure.... I am not going to push it really hard cause the weak link is the transmission. Until that's upgraded have to baby it and going to garage it most of the time now
