I sent an exhaust to someone in Germany. He really wanted my exhaust bad (A'PEXi WS for a 1991 Civic Si). Shipping alone was $200. Took him 6-8 weeks to get to him because of customs and taxes.

You honestly bought an engine from a guy in Ukraine? You will be lucky to get anything, ever.

Did you happen to send him 5K but the engine swap was 2K and he'd jsut credit you back the difference? h:
