Well that says it, definitely staying away. Was hoping there was some chance of someone making turbo parts easily available in NZ, probably best to get things made to your own specification though.

Since customs are your best bet if your not fabrication savy, yes they are based in Hamilton but they are very reasonable and have a 10 year Crack warranty on all manifolds. Dan Slater is based in Auckland but is also has the price to fit but very good work the best.

just remember you get what you pay for.
Quite often its better to choose a more expensive initial outlay cost than have a cheap P.O.S break on you and leave you out of pocket, back at square one.

Is this in regards to his wheel coming off? Or that atrocious way the suspension was set up?

Those coilovers are fiiiiine if you dont run them super short. Just wind the shock body down, and lower the car using the spring platform to actually get it so the wheel actually drops into bumps etc.

The best part about adjusties is they're adjustable. They don't have to be shit, if you dont want them to!

OZ racings are rebranded BC's as far as im aware.
