^^That's what he recommended!!

First delivery of goodies arrived on time this morning...... 5 days x-US!



These look very familiar huh? very similar to a three letter Japanese brand.......



In fact I know they're forged in the same plant.... From the same 4340 chrome moly steel forgings.
Heat treated, stress relieved, shot peened & mangafluxed

Tino spec glory shot:



RSP have balanced my rods from the Manley stock 1.5 gram variance down to .5 gram (after machining the oil squirters for $10 Usd)

RSp Rock!

It's just a shame Brian Crower doesn't do anything smaller than 272's (for $612 usd).

Meaning I'll have to spend over $1k for Kelfords.....Damn!

that is an orsome price mate, for what ur getting done. u got a 6 speed?

Are you getting those prices for genuine parts in Australia, or sourcing them from overseas without duty?

It may be worth noting that you can't buy those bits for anywhere near those prices normally, even in the trade.

All the engine internals are through Real Street Performance is the US (Florida), they are supplying Genuine oil & water pump also.

All my orders are kept to a total <$1k per order.

total shipping costs (across 3 orders) < $120 (all via Ups - 5 days to my door).

Genuine items seem to be 50% cheaper out of the Us.

Sourcing all the items for the build in Aus would nearly double the total cost.
