Yeah I know, I'm trying to find one but it's almost impossible. Here in Spain there isn't many B18...I think I can find one in the UK, let see...

Yeah i think the UK is the easiest place to source b series parts. I have sourced plenty of parts from the UK in my build but the only drawback is the euro to pound exchange rate but getting slightly better these last couple of weeks

Yeah the pound vs euro it's a handicap but many times (almost 90%) the price in UK considering the pound value it's much better (with the shipping cost too) than the price here in Spain of the same piece in euros.

I bought many parts from US, Australia and Japan to my ex'RX7 FC3S when the euro was very strong (6 years ago) but now with the customs fees it's better to take the parts from the UK considering the pound-euro change.

I try to avoid buying outside the EU as its a hassle to get them through customs and pay 18% VAT and another 5% duty on top of the price but sometimes i have no choice as some parts are so cheap especially from the US

What happened to your crank? Spun a bearing?

 

[konka]

Yeah, doing a track day in Catalunya Circuit. I tried to fix the axle and put new acl bearings but it not work, the crank it's dead.
