What are peoples opinions on the different brands as the 2 majour servos out here a making us pay heaps for fuel v-power out here is $157.9L nad hopefully united goes cheaper to help the price of fuel out here. Thanks

a few differences

marketing

price

where its stored

brand

i dont see any reasonable difference between the various brands of 98

that is, assuming that are rated all at an even 98 octane count.

also be sure to note that some refineries arent in all states, so they share resources

ie shell 98 stored in NSW might not be shell fuel, it could be caltex and vice versa

the shell refinery in sydney is going down for more maintenance again until around march next year.

they will be importing fuel from asian refineries (singapore?!)

well different brands of 98 octane fuel dont reall seem to make much difference in mine except for the ethanol blend fuel - I was forced to use some the other day since the servo's in the town which i live in don't serve normal 98, and the amount of smoke it blew was remarkably less (running a microtech with an obviously very safe tune!) also got noticeably better fuel economy.

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
