I know this may be off-topic but I was wondering if performance parts for the GTO are more abundant in Australia? If so would it be cheaper to have them imported than trying to pay top dollar here in teh states for them? If anyone from Australia has any info on part prices or what not drop a line here.....may make sense to go about it this way.
i thought of this because I used to deal with a gentleman from Australia who bought Cobra parts through me because it was quite a bit cheaper than trying to get them locally through shops there.
Like I said if anyone has any info and may want to work something out, get a hold of me on this thread or through a PM.

Well I had one good deal happen.....ended up getting a short throw kit for my car and it worked wonderfully. Anyone else looking to set something up?

What brand did you get?

To be honest with you I am not even sure.....it wasn't a full shifter, but more of a "kit". It involved disassembling the factory shifter and replacing the front stick that drops into the tranny with a longer one, replacing the rear handle with a shorter one and adding a spacer between the tranny and shifter plate. All I can say is I am very impressed with the results. Shifts are quite a bit shorter (about 45% front to back & 20% side to side), the factory "sloppy" handle has been replaced so I have a much better feel for the tranny, basically feels like driving a new car....would recomend this to anyone who can't see spending the 400+ dollars on a Ripshift or B&M, which I couldn't envision myself doing.

I had owned a 99 holden when i was located in saudiarabia , Honestly i was one of the first guys who startred upgrading the Aus. Ls1`s there . However , AUS aftermarket parts that day was soo $$$$ comparing to the market in the Usa , soo simply , I started loading my car with the US f-body performance products , wich i didnt find any difference to fit , like a penuts , I know AUs r working hard , but i am sorry I prefered the US for some reasons . price ,, availibilty ,, expereince with camaros , firebirds ...etc .
But something that realy I shake hands with the AUS that u have the best programers I have ever seen , I had the best dynos comparing to other commodors with a maffless tuning.

sure if you r talking guys about accesories and interior , exterior ... AUS had the most abundance parts for u .
