It is hit or miss whether you get through customs on the way back.
I'm bringing inlet manifold,injectors,engine mounts and a lot of other bits when I go I feb
It is also what allowance you have on the airline
I'm flying with virgin so I've got 1 bag at 23kg and the snowboard bag at 23kg
It is easier to pay the airlines the over weight charge than shipping it back

P.s
If you are anywhere neT the us/Canada border end of Feb look up jay peak in Vermont,thee are 40 of us over there
Looking likely to stay in Canada only at the mo - the US leg of the trip has been postponed at the mo

New Hampshire is close to where I'm staying in Nova Scotia, Canada, but not that close that I could just pop there for the bits

Liking the idea of "snowboard" kit allowance. Not looked into how it works with Air Canada (who I'll be flying with). Do you pay much extra for your 23kg sports kit allowance?

Good plan, I'm after a large turbo mainly, possibly pistons too, wonder what the X ray scanner man would make of that going through in the handluggage?
