I tried the link and got a 404 error, no luck with the email address either. Has anyone else had any luck contacting these guys? I really could use those 5.38 gears.... Any one that can help me order some? G'Day all, Just replying on this to hopefully help anyone who might want to purchase the R&P's I was initially able to establish contsct with Korea but when I went to order my gear I could not get a reply. Shorty Sporty was however able to get contact with this address picorp@hanmail.netFrom what we can gather you need to be prepared to act pretty well straight away for purchase when you reply. I waited around 3-4months which I told them I would be doing and was unable to get a reply again. Simon has made the contact for me each time. He initially sent the enquiry in Korean which may have helped to establish contact and perhaps a repoit. I hope this info helps. Cheers, Chris

Any updates on the 5.38 R&P? Anyone running them on a Sporty??? I'm thinking about buying a set. But the link to the website at the top of this thread is dead. Xander, do you have the contact info for the seller? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

Well, I just sent an email to picorp@hanmail.net to see if they still sell the R&P sets. I used Google translate to send the email in Korean. That was interesting, as complex sentences don't translate correctly. Short and simple seems to be the way to go. I had to write my message and re-translate the translation multiple times to get what I hope was a coherent request. We'll see if I get a response... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Amazing... I received a reply in less the 24 hours. The cost for both R&P sets is $411 US. Express Mail shipping is $124 US. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> But that will get the parts here in 3-4 days. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> So I bit the bullet and sent a payment using PayPal - a total of $535 US. God help me when my wife finds out... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
On that note, I had also contacted the seller I used to purchase the Track Finder locker for the 28 spline rear axle (found him through eBay). I had sent the email on Wednesday. I just received a response - just a few minutes after wiring money to the guy at PICORP (picorp.hanmail.net). The eBay seller quoted the same price: $535. But he would have to order the part. And I'm not sure if the cost of shipping plus service fee is included. It sounds like PICORP has the parts on-hand and they will be here by the end of the week. So I'm happy I bought the parts from the latter... so far. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Oh yeah - I have asked the guy at PICORP if he sells the Track Finder lockers. If he does, I'll let everyone know... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
