Went into Ted's Camera Store in Southland on my lunch break and asked how much the Hero3+ Black is... $530... I laughed and said "I guess that's why you've got so much stock of them" and walked out...

Then bought it online this afternoon for $449, and then got a 64GB Sandisk Class 10 MicroSD and the new style GoPro Suction Cup Mount... all for less than Ted's wanted for just the camera.

And they wonder why people are turning to online purchases and we're hurting "the little guy, the aussie battler" with a brick and mortar store...

Niceee, how much for the hero2 ;]

Would it be possible to flip the intake plenum and have it all run turnflow down the RHS of the bay?

not enough room on that side. barely enough room to fit an alternator belt with the engine in. But it probably could be done, maybe with a custom plenum.

and then you'd have to figure out how to get from the outgoing compressor to the inlet of the intercooler.

hmmmm... possibly. might foul on the turbo as its mounted low

Im getting new ignition leads, 7mm NGK's are probs getting old. I know next to nothing about spark leads, but know about cables. I couldnt unscrew/detach the bit that fits over the spark plug, so wasnt sure if you need to buy them/get them made with them on ?

I know right! How dare he charge $90 extra just so he can have a stocked shop front with full time labour & the freedom to take camera home and use the same day!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
