Auzoom, have you made the payment yet?
I've not received a PM from you yet.

For your Denso plugs
AUD $161.3 plus local shipping
add $5.50 for regular
add $7.70 for express

If you have done so, just ignore this courtesy reminder.

Gentlemen, the spark plugs order had been placed.
I am still waiting for a couple of payments to go through though.

I called up one of the Mazda service centre a moment ago to ask about my upcoming 36mth/60,000km major service ...
The plugs did come up in the conversation and they are priced at $200 per set (1 leading, 1 trailing)
Give yourselves a pat in the back, gents ... you just saved 75% off RRP for the spark plugs.

Argh....spewing I missed this.

I usually only check the .AU forum, and was questioning there a couple of weeks back about the shipping cost of spark plugs.

Oh well.... you guys are getting a pretty good price..... looks like I'll be paying the full $67 shipping cost....

.... must check all forums, must check all forums.

Gents, UPS had informed me that there is a delay for the shipment due to the Olympics.
Rescheduled delivery is 11 August 2008. Not happy, but at least they are already cleared by customs and in the country.

As long as they keep us in the loop, and we can keep track of them I don't mind. Not like the crap Daedan from Eurocars gave me when they lost my bloody mats...
