I was there the weekend before with the Masarati Club....shame I missed you. Your personal details say your car is broken. She's fixed again? What kind of times were you running?

So by nothing, you man nothing bad? Just strap them on, set the boost to around 1 bar and get circa 260 rwkw? Is that what you mean? Thanks Ash.

So I bought the -7s.......What will happen if I just bolt them on. No other supporting mods other than the (dubious) exhaust I'm running?

I dunno, I was just being silly. I suppose they might think they were putting their mark on the car and some lucky person might realise the provenance of the car they had just bought (i.e. me!).....Now I've written that down it does seem silly..... Now you mention it I think it does say Peter Bwock.

Pete? Update? Timeframe? Thanks.

I just snuck the new car right past you

can you Post a pick so I can be sure I know it's the right bit?

Few more details on the cam gears if not sold please. Pics and specs please?

http://www.dri.net.au/BrandNewAftermarketWheels.html Any thoughts on these? H&R are $840 for both axles. Too expensive.

I've never has any problems on here and I'm far from 'in the establishment'. I've seen you post some stuff that makes me not surprised at all to hear this has been your experience.

Thanks but not for me at 6.5"

Cheers. Know where to buy from?

If you can confirm width and offset I can tell you if I'm interested......

To suit RB26?

Bumpity (Ash?)

anyone had experience with the jjr product?

Thx. Where from? Who will do that kind of work? Cheers.

Mostly because I'm in Melbourne and the car was in Adelaide and IMHO wasn't an outstanding example so not worth the effort of bringing it back etc. Nothing wrong with it particulalarly. Don't let me put you off.

Thanks Ash. Given the std items are decade(s) old, they still OK to modify? Is it a case of good old quality Datto items? Also, where can I get them modified and do you have a rough cost estimate.

Perfect. Just the advice I was looking for. Best places to buy from? Being honest I suspect I'll go with Ash's option but be good to look into this too. Cheers.

I'm suprised not to have found the answers on a search but this is what I need to know: Pitfalls of a second hand purchase? (if any) Brands / manufacturers - which ones are good? Where to buy, if new? What is important in a good adj. cam gear? What to look for. Don't want to go over the top and nor do I want to buy crap. Thanks.

I test drove this car. Short shifter right? Congrats on the purchase.

So let's say I can get the std items rebuilt for around $1,200 and some good quality second hand -7 Garretts for $500 more, are they worth the extra? I guess the labour investment is high so need to make the right decision re parts. Once again I'm not going to boost the hell out of these things as its an older engine and for the street. The -7s are larger than std so I'm wondering if they might actually be a backward step (even though they're ball bearing) considering response and the relatively low boost. Thoughts?

No cage yet. I've been thinking full cage but have a few things to consider before I do that so I might just get a seat and harness for now......
