Importing SPM Rods from Sweden?

[Billman]

O guys cant you delay it for some time!!!! I am in a horrible financial position right now and i ve allready sold my kidneys!

[S2 Ant]

Might be worth seeing if any Golf people might be interested as they are the same, i'll ask a few of my mates that have 16v's, i know a couple are looking to turbo there cars, so they may be interested, i'll see what i can find out.

Hi, a bit more info on the rods - they're made of 4340 USA steel - there's talk of these things being good to 1000hp on some Volvo's! The comment int he email was "not chines" - I think Sten was a bit insulted that I asked him about that

I've got some 'group buy' prices going; so far I have this interest:

S2_Ant
BRY
MCANDMAR
ME

That puts at 20 rods. One more, and we'll be into a good price bracket.. anyone else interested? Get 8 ppl and we'll get top discount!!

For shipping, it's 250Sek to UK (£18/27E) or 350Sek to USA ($45) for a set of 5.

Prices for rods with discount, before tax + shipping are:

Rods No of ppl SEK Set of 5 £/E/$
1-10. 1-2 980 361 / 526 / 630
11-20 3-4 905 334 / 486 / 582
21-40 5-8 850 313 / 456 / 547
41+.. 9+. 780 288 / 419 / 502

As you can see costs are incredible with the group buy - and it's not that they weren't good already!! Any more interest now then?!

[Ross]

OK, we're at a potential 30-rod order, if everyone who's stated interest is 'in'!! Didn't expect such popularity on this one... currently looking @:

S2_Ant
BRY
MCANDMAR
NEWSH
JOHN441C
ME

That puts us in for £313 / EU456 a set + shipping and VAT.

Billman; how long do you need to wait? I haven't talked about timing on these, but the soonest they'll be ready is about 2 weeks anyway. PM me if you like, we might be able to work something out

Cheers
Ross

Anyone else??

[S2 Ant]

3 more people would put it down to £288 so with any luck there may be a couple of other people

[mcandmar]

You could buy a set and sell them on ebay for a profit at this stage

[Ross]

lol, I've been waiting for BRY to come and buy the extra 3 sets to make this the 'ultimate rods group buy' for this reason

After all, he lives in ebay.

[mcandmar]

I noticed ....its gas how often you look at the bid list and see a bunch of s2forum members

[BRY]

MRC or VagParts could buy some for stock

[Greg_S]

I will probably regret this, but put me down for a set. Have we anymore details on specs compared with other rods, or reviews?

[S2 Ant]

thought you might Greg lol, i know my bank balance wont take kindly to these but then it would hate it even more at the normal price so its the lesser of 2 evils

[Greg_S]

thats the thing, im just a bit loathed to take the engine apart too soon
