    Leads , Caps and Rotors

    I'm talking about Karlyn industry leads , any body running them ? With their rotors , caps and leads even allowing for freight it will come in under Aus $300.00 total . I get nearly all my stuff from the States as it's about a third the price of Aus or Japan goods .

    Arnotts Front Struts Installed

    They cost here in Aus $600 each including freight , to buy genuine over here they are $900.00 each . In the Sates they are $399.00 each for the front and $350.00 for the rear . I think they are also a better unit , made out of billet they can be rebuilt and have new bags fitted where as the...

    Hydraulic Supercharging

    Most times hydraulics are used the calculation works the other way , you work out how much work the pump has to do and you get a motor powerful enough to drive it , if it's not enough just get a bigger one !!If it turns out you need more work done just get a bigger pump and a more powerful...

    Finally finished the S/S adaptor for my Apexi filter , it went straight in first time , it's nice when it happens like that !!

    Arnotts Front Struts Installed

    Well have to say very impressed , when I removed the first one out of the box , top section is complete billet alloy , even the TEMS bracket is alloy billet !! On the very top of the strut there is a 16 mm thick rubber pad , this will reduce the NVH way more than the original set-up . Have now...

    Titanium Valves

    I can get a full set of titanium valves [ 32 so thats two sets ] out of a current Australian V8 Supercar Chev motor , apparently the same engine that's in the Nascar cars , just that ours are limited to 7,500 RPM while they pull 9,500 in the Nascar cars . They have done 2000 Kilometres , they...

    Upper Control Arm Balljoint Fix !!

    The standard joint runs in very hard nylon , the cushioning occurs at the inner mounts that are rubber so I wouldn't expect the ride quality to change , might even be better as the load is being transfered with no movement to where it should be , when the pins are made we will find out I guess !!

    Upper Control Arm Balljoint Fix !!

    Have spent a bit of time thinking and exploring alternatives for this problem , one thing I was not going to do was pay Aus $1006.78 for a complete arm from those Lexus thieves here in Aus !! The other was not going to pay Aus $500.00 to get one in from the States , even at half price . I came...

    Supra rack into LS400

    Does anyone know if a Supra rack [ 93 to 97 ] will go into a LS400 ? I've heard that the do and they have slightly different gearing and this gives a bit more "feel" at the wheel . Can anybody help or do I just have to get one [ 60,000 K unit is $350.00 here in Aus ] and try it , not a problem...

    Supra Rack 93 to 97

    Supra Rack to LS400 I've heard tell that a 93 to 97 Supra rack will bolt and plug straight into a 90 LS400 ? I don't know for sure as I haven't actually seen one , the Supra rack has a slightly different gear ratio and as such gives slightly better feel at the wheel than the LS400 , this I...

If they had a third umpire [ IE: reviewing the decision immediatly on a screen then it would not have been givin . ] Football is one of the last...
