Thumbs up SF's first International order from Pakistan

Hey people!

I did it, I wired the money (in full) to SF today for the Turbo kit. I am getting the Stainless Equal length Mani, External Wastegate, Alky Inj with tank & pump and the bigger turbo.

I am pretty sure this would be their first international order across the World to Pakistan.

Hurray for them

I have full confidence in SF and wish them all the best.


Looking forward to some high quality stuff and future business from SF,
Ahtasham Sheikh

I am getting it delivered in Dubai, U.A.E. for $250 including insurance and stuff. I'll pick it from there during my next trip and bring it in baggage back to Pakistan.

Hey thanks for the advice buddy. But Pakistan is not all what you think it is. I dont mean to start anything here but I have seen people, not only on this forum but otherwise as well, that have a lot of misconceptions about Pakistan.

It’s a developing country, I agree it cant be compared to Europe or America but trust me when I say it’s a hell lot modern than most of the people out there think. I live in Islamabad, that’s the capital city and I can confidently say that technology wise this city is as modern and as beautiful as any in the world. We have got everything here, just name it. If you have the money you can buy anything you want. The roads are excellent, I have touched 220 km/h myself on the highway (on a D16Y8 turbo). There are fuel stations everywhere, having all kind of fuels (octane ratings). DSL, Cable TV, Cell phones, Satellite phones, ATM machines, Automatic car wash stations, McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Huge Shopping Plazas, World class hotels, the list is endless… Last month I bought a Sony P900 cell phone from my local market. Don’t even get me started on the kind of cars that we have here. Its not a village guys, time has changed and so has Pakistan. You know what, maybe I should take a few photos of all these things that I have talked about and post them up so that no one stays in doubt. For the time being just have a look at this site: http://www.islamabad.net/pic1.htm
It'll give you a rough idea of what I am talking about.

There is one of the most expensive hotels in pakistan, but I cant remember what it is called. But yea, every country is developed to its own standards and way of life-- the american 'western' civilized way is not always the most modern. To be up to date means to adapt best to your surroundings, whatever they may be.

I can get it shipped directly to Pakistan but that way I would have to pay some heavy custom duty and taxes etc.

On the other hand Dubai is Duty FREE And when I carry the kit as baggage from Dubai to Pakistan I wouldnt have to pay anything!

Yeah, they said they would ship it out within 4-8 weeks (max) from receipt of payment. From there how soon I get it depends upon the shipping company, maybe another 15 days or so.

Guys, after reading Opto's post about the manifold how would you feel if you had just placed the order (and sent the money) yesterday???

Please someone tell me, everything would be fine with the stuff I get. I am pretty worried now.

Catalyst where are you man??? You didnt even reply to my email?

Yes, Germany is international. Well I guess I still am the first one in Asia and definitely the first one in Pakistan

By the way Fuchs, when did you order your kit? Did you had any kind of problems at all? any missing/bad parts? Please let me know as you are the only other international buyer I know.

Thanks!

Atasham...I don't mean to scare you but i ordered my kit the last week of August and i recieved it in January.
Granted there were a lot of factors that came into play, such as burglary and too many orders for the company but its all good now i have been boosed for a couple months now and i can tell you it was worth the wait. Hopefully you don't go through what i had to. Oh yea... there were no parts missing from the package. Have fun.

BTW: the author was Jared Diamon, not neil haha.

But as for the kit, you have nothing to worry about. I talk to Mike on a daily basis and they are working around the clock and are almost done with many of my orders already!!! They are trying to decrease overall turn around time on the kits to about 2 weeks.

So dont worry,
