Thumbs up Car Mods Australia

Hi guys,

Just a heads up, if you need anything for your Toyota 86 / BRZ, I would definitely suggest you get into contact with Daniel from Car Mods Australia. They are based in QLD (I am in SA).

I have just purchased an exhaust from him, and price and service was fantastic! I have been looking at other parts as well, and they are very cheap compared to a lot of other vendors and suppliers (even in the US!).

I have no affiliation with this business, I am just trying to put in a good word for the company because they are a cut above the rest!

Zero ! Car delivery in Feb, waiting to see what XForce come out with, heard a proper cat back vid of the Perrin the other day & I was impressed with the sound, as opposed to previous ordinary clips posted. I have bought stuff from Dan aswell, he VERY helpful & doesn't muck round.

I was so close to picking up a Milltek system from Ian @ Rennenhaus. Ridiculously cheap quote... cheaper than Perrin. It sounded better than the Perrin too, but they haven't released a catted front pipe (which is what I wanted). Perrin already had it.

I ordered my car in July and is being delivered in 2 weeks. When did you order yours? (GTS 6sp manual - Galaxy Blue Silicia)

U lucky bugger ! I also ordered mid July, although I stated on the contract a preference for 2013 build if it was going to be late this year. I guess the dealer has done me a favour? I'm OK with it.

Here's the thread with a good sounding link to the Perrin cat-back resonated & unres. I prefer the resonated, sound fine to me.

I use to work for Toyota, and trust me, December build or January build really makes no difference my friend. All comes down to condition and kms :P

I can also vouch for Car Mods AU. Got a few Perrin goodies from them (shorty, crank pulley, tranny bushing) and it was here basically the next day...

Please let us know how the fitting goes for the Perrin headerback (you might be one of the first to have one down under??)

I have been keen to find out about the Perrin transmission bush? What are your thoughts on it? Any noticable difference?
