    Latest: USA are only willing to send all units to one person in one package = customs tax + GST, so add 20% to the discounted prices we've negotiated.

    Ie $495 for the ETS + 20% + shipping ($135) = $744US.

    Which equals: AU$1050 (on today 0.70 exchange rate)

    And please note, there is a forum member who been waiting 3 WEEKS for his TMIC (which is in stock) to be shipped....and his emails go unanswered...

    SO, the homegrown option would be preferable. Again, like Nexus, I am in no rush.

    Nexus - can we add to the AU Homegrown poll - "Happy to wait a month or 2"??

    Those who want it now can take their chances with the US Suppliers?

    Support Australia if you can, it's all about the quality (and the economy) that's why chinese crap always fails, not a matter of if, but, when. US supplied parts may be up to the quality though. I'd still rather support Oz.

    Just like "Racebitz" and his DIY FMIC, I am also going to fabricate a FMIC setup that I hope to be able to sell too.

    I think for the time being we'll presume that if you're interested in AU manufactured, you're willing to wait, as we're looking to petition AU suppliers to develop.

    I'd be keener to see some southerners putting their hand up to confirm they would be happy to provide R+D assistance - at this stage that isn't much more than letting a developer measure things up so the real planning can be done.

    This would be good as a second poll question, but at this stage I can't see a way to post more than one poll to a thread.

    MPS Garage is not our only option!

    Don't forget that the Australian dollar has gone back up to 70 US cents.

    I have put my hand up but as yet have no response

    However I agree MPS Garage should not be the only choice
    Something we need for the MPS is more parts suppliers

    Our it bumps all prices up, we have noticed that with the jetski industry, as soon as one shop bumps the price up the others usually follow to try and make that extra bit of money because if all the shops are the same price (even if it is expensive) no-one is the wiser.

    I was in contact with MPS garage about using my car to measure it up at the start of the year, it ended up dropping off the radar.

    Sounds like either too hard basket or maybe the recession(which I still believe doesn't exist due to people still spending a fortune on things) is hurting them

    I also sent an email and there was no reply
    so I presumed it was a no go

    now a week later suddenly it's nearly ready for testing in a week or so

    http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/mps-g...rack-tmic.html

    I don't know I think I'll wait until I see this.
    price, quality, test results all need to checked out
    I'm in no hurry. I have other mods I can do

    I'm happy to wait as I haven't budgeted for a new intercooler this year, would go with the best quality over price, import or local, though it would be nice to support the local industry if they can produce something that is suitable

    Guys, I'm sad (and happy) to say that I am now out of the GB unless the new unit shows to be the bestestkickass unit in the world at a killer price.

    I just scored a 6 month old ETS 3.5inch TMIC shipped from the USA for $350US = $520AU...BARGAIN.
