dandan Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Right everyone, Looks like I'm off to Houston next week sometime and I thought it may be a good oppurtunity to pick up a few goodies for the Supe. (Or just some shopping in general I suppose!) Any bright ideas of goodies I should look out for or of any tuners/shops in Houston? Any idea on import duty/tax/declaration when buying things abroad and coming back to US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi Dan I bring back loads of JetSki stuff each time i go to the states, C&E say max £value of purchases/gifts must not exceed about £140, Last time i got stopped with £3k worth of MSD datalogging stuff it cost me £50 after confusing the customs officer with " Its race stuff given too us by our sponsor!" BTW , re your mail, Toluene at 10% with optimax gives 99.6 RON, 20% gives 101.2 RON. Don't forget the Zylene! Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_y3k Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 hi mate, MVP are about 10 miles between Dallas and Fort Worth, but as your in Houston it'd be rather a long trek to get there might be wirth dropping dusty an email and getting some stuff sent to your hotel ?

V8 Killer Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 If anyone wants Cowboys stuff that is no problem since I live in the Dallas area. Just let me know and I can buy it and send it over with parts. Cowboys is America's most loved and hated football team.

dandan Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hey Dusty, How the hell do you function here in Texas, it was 100 degrees when I left work last night at around 18.30! And the humidity in Houston is just obscene! Did you get my email regarding guaranteed delivery time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Killer Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Our summer weather is killer. Humidity here is terrible and it is hard to do anything outside. I can't take off my targa, its too hot, I just poor sweat off me. Also, I am very hot-natured, my house is kept at about 65 degrees F year round. So it is extra hot to me here. I love where I live, just hate the weather. I received the email you sent about 2 hours ago. I will respond soon. Thanks, Dusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
