Its a great suppository of knowledge as our beloved ex prime minister once said :-) and is generally a positive place to hang out.

Will try the other 2 next week.
Just going to enjoy driving it for the weekend.
I have found Jag Prestige are a bit like that, their delivery times are a bit slow too. But they have been helpful with some things. You may need to chase them up.

Rick if all Aussie sources can't help try David Boger at EverydayXJ ( he's in this thread) I have bought from him, he's a gentleman and very reasonable...I'll bet he's got one.

As Clarke said, speak to Phil for best results. If you did so, it would be unusual that he hasn't responded.

The guy at Windsor had it & wait for it, it even came with a key.
All for the princely sum of $20.

One of those places you would usually look at and drive past, but a treasure trove inside.
When we were putting my new engine in we discovered at the last minute the VRS kit was missing the intake manifold gasket. After ringing all over Brisbane and ordering one overnight from Jagdaim I came across him in a final search. Back home within 25 minutes with gasket in hand, but wait for it.....when we had a manifold leak the next morning he had a second one in stock.

No idea where the vacuum leak was coming from.....

Ahhhhhhh, that's GOLD....
Next weekend is going to be an interesting one for me.
Heading out to my engine builders place for a major upgrade on my drag bike.
He, my son inlaw / new crewchief, the missus has retired, & myself are morphing a 1260cc Kawasaki GPZ engine into a Suzuki GS1000 chassis.
Low 9 second runs here we come.

Willowbank?
Do you need a gofor?
It's my specialty if it gets me up close, bikes are my passion.

Got a full crew now although we struggled in that regard for quite some time. One of the reasons for my semi retirement.
There is an all bike meeting at Willowbank on July 3rd. That will be our next meeting.
You should bring the ZRX out for a squirt.
We will also be racing at the Nostalgia drags out there in August & when i say we, Michelle should also be racing her Elcy. Love the Nostalgias, pre '78 cars & pre '84 bikes. Good close old school racing.

This is at last years all bike, with all but stock Suzuki engine, when i thought it would be fun to leave the wheelie bars off. They now go on every time.

Would love to bring the ZRX out for a squirt, but will in be Canada getting around on an old GS750.
Never tried drags before, but it is on the "to do"list. Done circuits(car and bike),MX, and raced jet ski's.
