"pick A Part" In Melbourne?

[aaron_25t]

Guys,

Sold my partner's FTO but we need an airbox to get a RWC for the buyer. Finding parts for this car is near impossible, so I want to find any airbox that sort of looks like it will fit and fabricate some brackets/adaptor plates for it this weekend.

Is there somewhere where you can walk round and view written off cars for parts round here (just moved over from NZ). Open on Saturdays?

Thanks,

Aaron,

Yep, few places around.

There is a place in Dandenong called Jolly Rogers. Its on Greens Rd.

And there is Pick A Part in Kilsyth, thats off Cantebury Rd.

I will look up the address for you shortly.

You can just walk around and pick out whatever parts you want.

There is also a few Jap-Wreckers around if you want to try them, there is a listing somewhere

Nah gotta agree, don't waste your time with Pick a Part.

can i ask why you need an airbox to pass roadworthy?

One intake modification is legal, ie if you have a pod instead of airbox thats fine. That shouldnt stop you getting a rwc...

yeh campbellfield pick a part has only got your generic (AUS) vehicles.. falcons, commodores, lasers, pulsars and some R31's.. nothing exciting really.. only good for general parts like seatbelts, switches and horns etc.

There's plenty of import wreckers around (apart from the ones above).. what area are you in?

Thanks for all your help guys - got it sorted.

I don't know why, the mechanic my GF mentioned it was for emissions puposes. Managed to borrow one of a mate.

See my other post in this section on what I thought of this guy (not mentioning names).

Basically I think the car left his shop less roadworthy than it first went in $1k later.

sounds like he was trying to squeeze more money out of you/your GF

Send an email to vicroads asking if an airpod is legal if its the only air intake modification. (cant seem to find it on the vicroads site for you, but its there somewhere)

I reckon report him to Vicroads, make him lose his RoadWorthy license if he cant follow the rules
