Has anyone had any joy getting bits directly from CAPA? They aren't exactly responsive!

They can be slow to email, but they will get back eventually.

Might be better to phone them...but credit card transactions arent exactly easy.

You would probably be better contacting the likes of Martin at www.ls1turbo.com.au or Sonny at http://www.marranos.com.au/

Well I think 2 Months is enough time! Honestly I really can't believe how hard it to buy an FMIC for this car (for sensible money). I really am at the point where I am contemplating making my own. I have a spare 4 Row from a Supra, so if nothing turns up soon I am going to test fit that.

Sorry Stevie, didn't see the Sonny comment I will send him a mail to see if he has any ideas.

Some of the guys here will be able to help.

http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/sponsors.php? ( with the exception perhaps of Debbie does car loans lol )

Although some of them only do in-house installs etc ( Marks Workshop seems to be like this....builds some bloody good cars though !!! )

I emailed Mark before Stevie, no response, but agreed he does turn out some really nice stuff.

I was pointed in this direction last night http://www.aseturbo.com/html/vt_vz_intercooler_kit...

So fingers crossed!

In all seriousness. Ive found that more often than not....emailing is a waste of time.

As you can imagine, these guys get dozens, if not hundreds of emails a day. So most probably get ignored.

If you phone them, Im sure you will get a much better response.

You're probably right Stevie. I used Ron@Vengance BTW for the valvetrain stuff. He seems a top man, many thanks.

Hi they do reply to emails but its slow.Just call them.
I ordered my extractors and sport cats from them last week and they are now at the airport waitting for the flight over here. They gave me the tracking number aswell.
Give Justin or Tony a call.
Why bother sending a email when you can call anyway. But remember you have to call them after 11pm our time.
