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.

      My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason.

      Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.

      I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
