    Yeah we are a long way from anywhere lol but consider it this way
    I gave my 6VE1 a drink and bent 4 rods - I got rings, pistons, rods and gasket set from the US, paid US 270 for shipping alone and the whole lot arrived at my door for less than the Aust dealers price for the gasket set alone!
    Isn't Japan right on your doorstep though? I would think replacement parts would be cheapest coming right form the source. But what do I know, the maps here are all screwed up:

    Well I guess as the most populated Western country you guys get the focus
    The parts were all US-made replacements rather than Isuzu. The dealers gasket kit was the same brand as I got from the US!
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    As someone who has been to almost all of those places...its about right, except they did not mention indonesia and human trafficking. Australia isn't just kangoroos, its also home of Fosters, Outback Steakhouse, and of course Steve Irwin...I think that about sums it up, oh, Africa isn't just zoo animals, don't forget politicians.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    No Outback Steakhouse here mate, OS is an American franchise! And contrary to what a very successful ad campaign worldwide would have you believe, hardly anyone in OZ drinks XXXX or Fosters of any kind

    PS I've been to an Outback Steakhouse (in NC), was quite un-Australian!

    I thought someone said that Foster's in Australia was crap anyways and that the stuff that gets sent over here that is labeled Foster's is actually Crown Lager or something. And why would Australia have an outback steakhouse anyways? Have you seen the stuff made of meat in OZ?














    Who would want to eat any of that?

    hey all, I hate to revive an age old thread but I've been trying to reach Bigmeat about these kits but his message box is full and email isn't working. Does anybody out there have any ideas of how i could get a hold of him.
