Matt is able to get the complete range of Enkei, XXR, Work and Volk Racing/Rays wheels. He told me he gets them cheap through his Dad's mechanic business. He's sold a bunch of these on boost cruising, and he's also got an advert on Performance Forums. I bought my wheels through him - I couldn't find anyone cheaper. Good guy to deal with and he posts anywhere in Aus I believe. Wheels arrived quickly. Just shoot him an email for a quote. _________________

Any decent general workshops / exhaust places / other good guys south of Adelaide? They all seem to be out Norwood/Wingfield way which is a right pain in the ass for me.
Troy at Mildren Race Engineering in Thebarton is a great tuner and a top bloke. Tuned the Power FC in my supra and also the Power FC in my cousins skyline. Did a great job on both for heaps less than we were charged to have a garbage tune (which had to then be rectified by Troy) by another Adelaide operator my cousin now calls "the king of ping". They also have a fully equiped mechanical workshop. Can't comment on their work other than the tuning as I havent had any done there but they always have a good cross section of cars (mainly imports) in there. Last time there was even an insane twin turbo HSV they were working on for a customer.
For exhausts I would highly recommend AAA exhaust on Deacon av at Richmond. They have done a couple systems for me and the result is always great with a very resonable price. While there I have actually seen more well known exhaust shops ute's in there picking up mandrel bends as AAA have a massive workshop and bender and sell pipe and bends wholesale to other shops. They'll make you a system with less welds as they can bend it on site and it doesnt have to fit in the back of a ute to get back to thier store!
Oh I forgot mate, for tuning and mechanical work South of the city there's also Boostworx. Like Mildrens they've built and support a few track cars and they've also built a couple tough 2J's. http://www.boostworx.com.au/home.htm
They are on Goodwood Rd but looking at the website it looks like they have perhaps moved to cavan....?

Heard nothing but good things about Boostworx and they were great for me when I had the Soarer as they were nice and close. Shaun really knows his stuff especially Toyota and has tuned several 400rwkw + 2Js. They have moved to Cavan now which is very unfortunate for us southerners. Might give Mildrens a go though sounds like they also know their stuff

can anyone in WA recommend a place for paint touchup, scratch removal?
B&B Smash in Naval Base is an excellent painter. he has won heaps of awards etc for his paint jobs and still keeps the street and show separate so costing isn't through the roof.
he painted a car for me and fixed family/friends cars for me in the past and done a brilliant job.
it can take a while to get through the jobs for him though as he works by himself. it's a bit of a drive but well worth the effort.
I also recommend WTFauto for all the mechanical side of things. awesome dudes quality work. Can fabricate ANYTHING you desire. Know 95% toyota models inside and out! weather it be a RT52 usa spec corona to supra's soarer's mr2's etc anything toyota old or new.
