they need a sample?

949 racing quoted $55 shipping for up to 10 sets so i guess the HEL's would be similar?

I'm not sending any lines anywhere, they make kits for 1.6 & 1.8 brakes, it's so simple even I understand it, in any case I never heard back from the NZ Agent and expect my new HEL Braided Lines will be supplied by the Manufacturer in the UK (cheers HEL).

FWIW: If we don't have sufficient numbers here I may do it all myself whereby you'll be able to buy the lines on Trademe (of course they will cost a lot more). I'll reiterate that if you are not sure whether I will secure a great deal for the forum to PM me, I'm not a noobie at this sort of thing.

List AFAIK:

01. harlansmart 1.8
02. Born_disturbed
03. SLYDIT
04. Zadkiel
05. r3spct
06.
07.
08.

I'm going to have to pull out of this at this stage I'm afraid, money just got super tight. Sorry!

I've got the red ones from goodwin racing. They look very much like my ones and I haven't had any issues with them

I've got the ones from Goodwin racing as well, except mine are black not red, and now look a bit melted from the fire session at Hampton, might be getting another set.

More amazingly, their Motul RBF600 is only $17USD, cheapest I have found here in NZ is $28.

And then add freight on top. Even just using USPS from Goodwin it is costing US$55 for the freight on a set of Energy bushes for my rear subframe.

I doubt the carriers would take brake fluid either.

No, they don't, but just another example of how much we get ripped down here, importer will be making a killing at the moment with the exchange rate.

Actually $28 is not too much more than the US price. Convert and add GST and it works out at about $25.

Getting my rear Energy bushes and diff bushes fitted next week plus NB top hats/FCM bump stops etc...half a second in lap times and I will be a happy chappy!

Quite sure penrite do a 600*C boiling point dot4 and its DAM cheap. Used it for about 3 race meets in my civic and personally couldnt see the difference between my Motul and that

Yeah, Penrite do, I put it in my car initially when I first put the brakes on, running the stock 1.6 with those 6 pot calipers for the one track day that I did in it, nothing really ever got taxed, especially since the stock motor would overheat after about 3 laps. I have put in BNT RBF600, but it has pretty much the same wet and dry boiling point as the Motul RBF600, and it about $5 a bottle cheaper. Both the Motul and BNT have a way higher boiling point than the Penrite. I also got my Penrite from Repco, so it was anything but cheap from there.
