Gaz Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah cheers Chris. Just seen that someone on trademe sells link setups for escorts. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =128448577 For $750 incl all the shit you need is not bad at all IMO. Obviously could make it for cheaper but alot of fucking around measuring etc. How bouts I buy one kit and give you measurements drawn on cad for a small fee.

Gaz Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 its not bad mate but i asked them about the link bars and rubbers and they are a extra costall you get with this is the boxs. Nah $750 is the whole kit. Have a look at the question I asked in questions and answers. $450 is just the boxes. He wants a lot extra for the bars etc but at least its a full setup. By the time you import that $600 kit you would be around the same figure if you get stung on import. then i started looking t the uk (gary from retromotor sport hasnt got back to me yet) but rall design will do a full 4 link with boxs and bars all the shit you need landed in nz for around $600 and thats the option im going for. Is that with Turrets? Hit him up for a group buy, perhaps 3 sets would get a sizable discount??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Or the $750 set off trademe might discount us for three sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Or the $750 set off trademe might discount us for three sets? just make sure with this guy mate as the last time he was selling them i asked him the same thing and it was an extra $700 + for the bars and rose joints on top of the kit on trade me. and the 1 frrom the uk dosent have the turrets but you can get them from palmside here in chch for $175 a set.

Gaz Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah I figured they would be the same guy. Was just wondering if it was worth using a whole fibreglass gaurd instead of the steel gaurds with fibre archs I already have? Prob will get the bumpers off him and maybe the bonnet and boot eventually too. Does he do gell coated bumpers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah he does, i got my 1/4 bumpers from him in a black gel coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
