Moving to Hull from Texas. Can I get Xidas in the UK? What’s the play? I know they have distributors, but the prices looked 2x taxed. Have to pay cash for a car as an expat, thinking 2019 plus, RF, Xida GT, pads, wheels, tires, tour Europe?

Thanks in advance, Jake

 

Sounds like a plan!

Can you buy them there (USA), ship them over with your furniture/chattels?

 

Hull! Blyton Park and Cadwell Park will become your local tracks, both well suited to any Miata.

I bought Xidas a few years back directly from Supermiata, though it was before Bofi imported them, but even still, it's cheaper to get them directly. I guess there isn't sufficient volume to get a discount, so you're just paying Bofi to import them for you plus their markup.

 

Yes you can but bringing them yourself would be far cheaper.

I don't know if bofi is importing the complete assembly or selling under license. The shock manufacturer is from the Netherlands.
Springs with custom specs could also be sourced locally.

 

We ship them complete to BOFI in the UK. So yep, the shocks ship from the Netherlands to us, we assemble them with parts from all over the world, and ship them back over. Not efficient but no other good way to do it unfortunately. Bofi is a great partner but it's hard to save much without bulk orders. Buying other products like Tecna and hubs are often a better deal through them and that's really what the goal of the partnership is.

Congrats on the move, Jake! Sounds exciting. Since my first trip to Europe a couple years ago there's always a pull to be there, love it over there.
