Question for the Brits...

[Niann]

So after a day of searching, I finally found the part for my scoob that I was searching for. Only problem, it was from a British Company. No real problem they ship over seas, but I am confused by the tax amount... There are Three choices and I am not sure as an international buyer which one I should choose... They are...

1. Inside EC at 17.5%
2. Non EC (RoW) 0%
3. IVA Registered (IVA number required)

I know I dont have an IVA number so that rules out option 3, but I have no idea what the other two options mean. =0)

Perhaps someone can provide some insight?

Cheers!

I think that Inside EC is if you're in europe and Non EC is outside of europe. :beam:

Don't hold me to that though :P

is EC the European commonwelath

i don't really know

[asphaltcowboy]

where are you? if you're not in the EC (europe) then go for option #2 - although it says 0% tax, depending on the good, customs may well levy some kind of tax (they always find something to add :)). but yeah option 2 if you're outside the EC.

chris: EC is European Community (the Commonwealth is totally different)

it seems strange that the site states the EC... as opposed to the EU (european union) ... out of date? ;)

You've got a Scoob? What model? :beam:

[chris9902]

[asphaltcowboy]

[chris9902]

it only had to take one person to turn that into something stupid :sigh:

[asphaltcowboy]

lol? I aer teh confused :crazy:

[Soul]

Well thats not hard :P

[asphaltcowboy]

true.. but still. chris.. what the hell are you on about? ;)

[Niann]

"It" is a GFB Hybrid blow off valve, the stock blow off valve was not releasing when there was less then 8psi (.6ish bar) of boost and you backed off the gas a bit. It would release if you let off the gas totally, but it would cause back pressure and lag if you backed off a bit then started up again. In any case I found a dealer in the States that has a few in stock, so I don't have to worry about over seas shipping! Yay! =)

Kit- I have the 2.0 Litre WRX Sti. 2003 (Turbo, AWD, etc.)=0) It is a fun little car for sure. I will post pics when I hook my scanner back up. (No digi camera for me doh)

Cheers!

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I said something about the car and the next post is edited and I'm getting congratulated for something. I am confused. :sure:

Niann - That is one hella cool car. :) My mate has an import Sti and I love it to bits. I want to get myself a P1. :beam: What colour? Is it the rally blue / gold alloys? :beam:

[Niann]

Thanks :thumb:

Its the Metallic Platinum. Kinda a shiney silver. I could have bought a blue one, which I would have preferred, but they didn't have any blue Sti's when I bought mine. I have the 17" five spoke Sti wheels, they are polished alloy.

Cheers!
