Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 Hey, I'm ordering a couple things from pelican parts today. Let me know if you need anything, say lunchtime at the lastest. Pelican quoted $99 shipping and I only had 2 wheel bearings in my cart at the time...so will be going through a freight forwarding company. Cheers, Lucan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 MMM haven't used pelican for a while now as their shipping cost just kept on going up. Would be interested to know what price you can finally get it for if you don't mind letting us know also how is the exchange rate treating us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Never head of FCP before! Had a quick look and did the same thing, 2 front wheel bearings - shipping price $98 so little ot no difference there. Might be cheaper on smaller/lighter parts perhaps - can always compare the 2 in future now, plus their website's easier to navigate which is nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi328i 118 Report post Posted October 17, 2014 I did a quick one from ECS Tuning, whom I have been ordering from due to many of their prices being more competitive than Pelican AND cheaper freight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im looking at ordering a rebuild kit for the M62. Pelicans Total is $6500 USD incl shipping. How did you find ECS Tuning in comparison to Pelican?

KwS 2425 Report post Posted December 5, 2014 Anyone doing an ECS order soon? Want some o-rings from them but $13 for the o-rings and $40 shipping is average as. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi328i 118 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 Im looking at ordering a rebuild kit for the M62. Pelicans Total is $6500 USD incl shipping. How did you find ECS Tuning in comparison to Pelican? Well both have their merits. ECS have stuff Pelican just don't have. Freight for both are good in terms of speed. ECS is cheaper nearly all of the time. Weight is the biggest issue, and you will have to keep that in mind. You are going to be taxed heavily for that I am guessing, due to the sheer cost of that kit. The weight is going to cost you a pretty penny too. A rebuild kit cannot be light. As a privateer it will be more expensive, I think bringing in things via a company is cheaper. Find out the total costs from both companies and go from there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try Gavin @ EuroItalian. Unit prices are higher than Pelican but you won't get reamed on import taxes & shipping How intensive is the rebuild? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah sweet. Will speak to him. It's gonna be pretty intensive as it needs to be able to handle the super charger and I have 8 throttle bodies being installed as part of the custome intake manifold. Need to replace all gaskets, seals and have the heads and valves cleaned. Have a mate doing the full re polish acid dip on most parts too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted December 7, 2014 i find the Pelican site much easier to use, plus I am usually not buying just BMW parts, usually some things from another manufacturer too, eg some Volvo bits this time. Pelican cover all the big Euro names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Dunno about how the prices will compare for that stuff, but there was some VW stuff I got from here: http://www.fcpeuro.com They do a few euro brands, and the timing chain stuff was very cheap, reasonable shipping and helpful staff.
