  1. I just fitted the EBC Redstuff to the front of my car before xmas. So far travelled around 300km & they are great. The pad set came the the backing plate shims and so far very little dust with great stopping & pedal feel. Paid $205.00 for them.

    These pads are very good. Better option all round. Check out the chart below

    I`ll be fitting the EBC Redstuff to my car as i`m in need of fronts soon. Being in the trade up here we here very good things about EBC brake pads.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Funny enough i spoke to these guys today. For one ISF it is 20 grand for an estimated extra 100kws at the wheels. Massive gains in any ones terms but faaarking expensive too. Ahhhh off now to dream anyway of having 380kw at the wheels :w00t::w00t::w00t:

    As for a group buy/fitting we would need more than 10 us to get a little relief in the wallets.

    The ones from RR are IX iridium change every 60000kms not the Double fine electrode 100000kms type, I emailed them and I don't know why they don't sell the DFE cheers.

    These are the ones i can get. I just put the hard word on my suppliers and they agreed only if to be purchased in a set of 8. I was just testing the waters out of curiosity after reading your 1st post. As i said though, the price for the Denso ones you are looking at is very good. 

    NGK DFH6B-11A

  5. They look fake have a look at Denso printing on the plug it is dull and why don't they show the tips in detail, no thanks.

    Haha, at that price you are probably right.The add below them for $285.00 is from a sydney dealer. Being myself i would just fit NGK, can`t go wrong there. You`re in the trade just go to Repco and get them. Here $26.40 each.

    I cant remember the link/seller as i got mine a while ago but i paid $140 total incl postage from a seller sth west syd.  Arrived within days and cheaper than the states.  Theres definitely local sellers offering good deals.  

    Just check the part numbers. Denso list 2 iridium spark plugs for our cars with one being half the price. Part # IKBH20TT is the cheaper plug. The other is the FK20HBR11 which from the dealer will cost ME $28.00 each. Their retail is $38.00 each.

    I'll be oversea from the 12th..would be great to meet fellow ISFs.

    I'm sure something will always pop up in the future

    Just check the Qld Raceway calendar, Downshift is usually once a month, be it a Saturday or Sunday morning.

    Damn I'll just miss out on this event. I'm back at work on the 9th. Usually try and get to a few of these mornings 

    Yes hopefully it will be a good morning session. Haven`t been since April last year. Weekend early mornings are not usually my thing, getting there from the GC by 6am is really :wacko:. My son has pestered me to go so a group of us with various beasts are going.

    your looking around the $1000 mark - give or take

    big job including dropping the sub frame. dont compromise on the install as its a bitch to fix later

     The header replacement is a 3 hour job, 4 hours max ! ! ! ! The front sub frame is only dropped down by aprox 6 inches, it does not require removal at all.. $1000.00 including stainless high flow cats would be about right. Watch this video it might open your eyes a little to give a better insight on the job at hand. Hope this helps.

    Make it public, how much was it all?

     

    Too easy. Engine Reconditioner spent 3hrs @ 80 an hour with the port work. Time I spent to r & r the inlet manifold 2hrs.  

    Hope this helps.
