Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

I bought a set of Advan AVS 17 "twin spoke mags in shadow chrome . Was just washing them this morning and found the the chrome on the rim side of the spokes is flaking off!!!!!

Not thinking of sheepskin, or Ebay. Something that you might find and be able to order at a local Autobarn etc. Pics would be...

Hi all, thinking of swapping my type "4" TH cams for some ralliart "7" cams I have here, courtesy of Dave. Do you think it is dangerous, ie, damage to the engine to drive it before it is tuned. I sort of need to as its the family car. It's tuned to its optimum now (safe tune) for 98ron on a greddy...

Hi Guys I went into repco on monday to order some slotted rotors for my TJII Sports. I told him which car I have and he has quoted/ordered DBA 425S's. He only asked if I has single or twin piston calipers to which I said single. Now this morning I went to the DBA website and used their...

Sooo... just moved back home to Tassie and brought the rada with us. Will need to have inspection before I can transfer the rego, so pulled into a registered inspection station after work. $125 for the inspect and his initial thoughts were only issue might be the tint as it looks too dark. I...
