In that way I have been a little disappointed in our regular vendors....not telling them how to run their businesses in these tough times, but I think something like this is an opportunity that so far has been passed up. I would think cultivating an international source for performance parts would be profitable, but again, that's just speculation. Maybe they've tried and it didn't work?
My advice to Gtturbo is to lay it all out on the table, that's the best way to build trust. Not saying anything is being hidden, just saying the typical member of this forum is used to, and responds much better to, an approach that heaps the info by the shovelful rather than one that spoonfeeds.
