i just talked to kyle from mazdatrix about buying some housings...



and instead of recommending me to buy it from his store, he adviced me to find someone from australia or japan to get them for me. he said that including the shipping, it is more than 100-150 dollars cheaper than if i bought them from here in the united states



is anyone one from japan or australia willing to help me out?

I got a flywheel from Austrailia and it was way cheaper even after shipping than buying something from the US before shipping.



Probably more engine parts you could get cheaper overseas..
