My job is freight forwarding so I have access to things like this. If you were to do it, you'll need to find a warehouse that will stuff the container for you and ship it out. On your end here, you'll need to have a place to receive the container.

Did you import the Varis yourself or is there a hidden lurking company that I can give a shout out to?


With my warranty being up soon, its time to change mines up as well.

Yep, I imported it myself. PM me when you're ready to buy.

Nice build, it's unusual to see great suspensions on a to-be 2JZ car

One question on my side... You run the Type 7 SN voltex wing - don't you have any issue with understeer, as you would have massive downforce on the rear? How did you balance it out with front aero? Or are you just running the Type 7 with minimal angle?
