    Autohaus Arizona

    http://www.autohausaz.com/

    I initially had a few payment problems with the overseas credit card but these guys have some pretty obscure parts very cheap.

    I'd suggest using Paypal drawing directly from an bank account rather than their online credit card service. (Although it all worked out in the end )

    I'll pop up some pics of my litle spending spree.

    USPS postage too!

    Very happy customer.

    Pete

    More gaskets US$ bugger all. and a couple of new drain plugs US$0.98 ea ! with a new copper seal!



    Expansion tank hose US$11.45



    And the get out of jail free card - a complete cheap Brazillian engine gasket set for emergency use US$35.34 I wouldn't use the head gasket, I'd always get the elring VRS set for a rebuild, but it's handy to have a complete set at hand for those crazy weekends! This will go into the box I take to the racetrack.



    All shipped for only US$40

    Maybe.

    Yeah - Why do you figure I ordered 20 of ea? I figured you and Josh would be after a set each. So I ordered some extras to sell to you guys at ridiculously inflated prices

    Also I'm just a hoarder.

    I'd get the stuff shipped straight to them. A bunch of Gaskets and lightweight stuff wouldn't be much of a burden to fit in their suitcase.

    Need to get them in training to ship you stuff anyway

    Nice little find there, but it's a bit difficult to find the MK4 GTI stuff.
