Hey all just thought id mention the new parts shop opening in Hobart. Right in town. Watchorn street, little one wayer that runs from liverpool to bathurst. Anyway i went up for a look today but hasnt quite opened yet. Its called... SLIP & GRIP RACEGEAR.

From what ive heard from a bloke whos been in the shop already they have some pretty good gear. They will be the dealer down here for KTS suspension i know that much. Dont Know the name of the guy whos opening/owning but no doubt someone on here will. Did a search and doesnt seem like anyone has mentioned it on here yet so ill start the Hype :)

Anyone know anymore about this...

I spoke to an old school mate a while ago and he is opening the store.

He has quite a lot of knowledge in the import scene and is really having a crack!

I hope people support him, We can never have to many businesses like this around!

I wish him all the best. (Used to live with Dave and Sam Murray in Kingo - Tim Brown) some of you would know him.

Pretty sure we already do, my condolences to whoever goes bust first. A town the size of Hobart can't support 3+ Import specific parts retailers.

And we all know none of them will go close to matching the prices you can buy stuff online for (e.g. via perfectrun etc).

However, good luck to them, personally in this instance I would LOVE to be wrong and see them all prosper.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
