Wink Cheap *** parts from OZ

Ive just had my Summer Holiday!!!

All the way over in Perth Ozy land!!!

Some great bargains to be had over there!!!

I went to a place called Xspeed in Perth. I managed to get an Hks induction kit (Green one) and a Blitz super blow off valve!! Wait for the best bit...

All for £220's! Yes 220 quid....

How much are we being robbed by in the Uk.....We would only pay that for one item.

Loads of Scooby's driving around over there too. Bought a mag that was just full of Scooby's, they have some awesum looking machines out there. Twin turbo conversions on 2.5L lumps and for some reason they like to Airbrush there Scooby's.

Also went to Pattaya in Thailand for 3 days on the way home. If you havnt been there then i suggest you go!!! Lots of Oriental women and all sorts of mad things to do and see.

Certainly an eye opener for me, seen as i'm so innocent and all!!!

I will try and find a scanner to show some of these Ozy rides sometime.

Don't, repeat *don't* buy cheap *** parts. I thought I'd save money by buying a cheap imported Australian left buttock and it's given me nothing but trouble.

Depends on where you buy as to what you get.

Plenty of rexies over here in Aussieland and yes most seem to have an obsession with airbrushing their cars.

They go from one extreme to the other....show ponies or full on beasts!! Mainly interested in drag times than twisty stuff though.
