First time with a child in the Back seat
First time over the New Road in the Avenger
Guess who didn't want to get out of the car when we got home

Last post by JoKer - September 03, 2025, 09:19:04 AMWhat do we reckon team?
I reckon might be worth trying to buy existing at that cost aye
and the quote has come from a Kiwi-Maker so I completely understand the "setup & effort" charges
QuoteGonna be looking at about 100 bucks each to make those z pipes

No price : just a button to "Request a Quote"
Website appears to be Brazilian Portuguese based
eg for the Dodge 1500 (I often forget about parts from there!)
"Chrysler do Brazil" etc

Last post by JoKer - August 31, 2025, 11:22:40 PM#7 in the Image <3
Had a few requests for these lately I know ASOC Remanufacture them (struggling to find online info)
(available to "Members Only" = NZ$65 Fee + part price, you "may" be able to to order vie existing members, I am not a current Member)
My "Best" Spare currently looks like this
a contact in Chch is going to look into making 5x or so BUT
https://bcbroncos.com/shop/engine/coyote-engine/coyote-heater-hose-bypass-t-fitting/
Would that work? Looks like it "Might" work depending on size etc
says 5/8" on the link
Same H pipe = https://www.ebay.com/itm/195923692258
or https://pbhperformance.com/product/ford-coyote-heater-control-valve-bypass-fittings/

Last post by Jodi - August 24, 2025, 09:33:03 PMGreat photo, thanks! Always a bit odd seeing your wheels in a previous 'life' lol
Ordered a set from Plum Krazy, so will be a resit for WOF, but on the plus side, it'll be a one year WOF.
Thanks heaps for the info, much appreciated.
