I just purchased a set of stainless steel extractors for my car. Was looking at them and tossing up to buy, or not. 15% discount was a good spur to action.
Had a similar set on my previous car (earlier one of same car type) and no significant power gain but 20% reduction in fuel consumption on a trip (not as much, but still less fuel use around town). They paid for themselves within a few months.
And they show some lovely rainbow toning after a little use!

Did you happen to see the Gosford Car collection on Sydney Weekender last Sunday? One persons collection of 100's of cars in a HUGE shed. Absolutely incredible. Apparently around $70m of cars. (One Ferrari was worth $5m alone). Brilliant black GTHO & an orange 6 pack ..... drool ...... If I ever get down that way I'm going. $20 adult admission so worth a look see.

FYI Groupon is running a deal on eBay also - $85 for $100 to Spend on Anything Online.

https://www.groupon.com.au/deals/ebay-3

But make sure you read the T&C and use it before expiry!

Thanks for the heads up. I have used my 15% off to buy 3 second-hand volumes of Wayne Sayles books on Ancient coins. Sounds like an interesting area and wouldn't mind learning more. Numismatic books always seem to be out of print and copies are very expensive.

They actually don't give any real change to the "sound". If I wanted to do that I could just replace the original muffler with a "hotdog" muffler -cheap and simple- and risk getting fined for undue noise.

No Uni, was otherwise occupied at that time. I visit friends just near Wyong regularly so must make a note to have a look see myself.
I do know where there is a large shed full of FC and FE Holdens (including all body styles) -I had a peek in there and saw a collection of twin and triple SU carbie sets in the back of a wagon. The windowless panel van next to it had extractors piled to the roof. And the shipping containers nearby are full of spares; engines, gearboxes, diffs, body panels etc.
I knew the owner drove an FC ute he had had for years but, until I went to check his TV aerial, I did not know he had about 80 of them! I have an FC ute to restore as a retirement project (my first ever vehicle was an FC) but no way would he sell me a pair of guards and a bonnet. It's like Fulvio and his stash -"I don't sell them".

I know.. I have missed a few opportunities before and learnt my lesson... I wanted it badly as it was cheap as is... then 15% tipped me over the edge...:yahoo:

Chris is getting some pretty good promo here lately!!

QuoteChris is getting some pretty good promo here lately!!

It is Not often that any particular seller gets praised on this board, It's normally a case of "watch out for this seller" because he/she is dodgy.
Those that DO receive praise must have earned it because this here is a pretty tough crowd to please :ok:

Having spent way above my budget over the last few months I have a self imposed Ban on coin related purchases.
I think that I have done very very well not to be tempted by this offer so far.
For those of you that have taken advantage of this offer Well Done :yahoo:
Lets hope that this sort of thing becomes more frequent in the future :good:

I am $160 in front thanks to this offer. I think we should have a sticky thread with this kind of stuff. I love thinking I saved money.
