Autobahn in Ipswich. Won't be buying **** off them.

its the latnium infused gold particals that they put into the little bits thats in the material where the 4 bolt holes arent.

Id go check them again twitchy, occasionally their computerised parts system gets screwwy and items are mispriced.

They were going to ping me $200 for a gasket kit for the zenith carby. a quick no sorry your wrong check it again and a couple of phone calls got me the gasket kit and change out of $40.

Try MR Automotive in Redcliffe , they are excellent. As for Auto and Super crap stay well away from them.
