    Default Engine Stands

    I'm chasing an engine stand guys.. Repco want 250 dollars which from what I've been told so far is 100 dollars over standard price.

    Now can anyone tell me if they have one that they want to get rid of, or where I should be able to find one for cheaper. I want it ASAP though, thats the problem. So I may order it this afternoon if I don't hear otherwise.

    Wasting money.

    has to hold an rb30e, fully loaded with manifolds etc, 450 would cover it easy though.

    im not sure about supercheap, the number wasn't in the directory and autobarn here generally has sweet fa. repco wants 250.. oh well, ill go for a drive and see what i can find.

    looked in supercheap catalogue today, they're on sale for under 100. could be more specific, but it found the inside on a bin pretty alluring

    haha, I purchased one yesterday from Autobarn, 99 dollars it was, 1000 pound, unsure of the brand. It's red.

    I have to get some bolts this afternoon, High tensile suckers so I can bolt it on, I just don't have the time to go and rip the flywheel off and then go to a shop with the bracket and say I need some bolts this long and this strong bla bla bla.Thinking about it though, it seems incredibly dangerous to be putting that much stress on it. Oh well

    Yeah, ebay takes too long to stuff around, and even though they look cheap by the time you pay postage and everything its nearly the same.

    Oh well, I just have to get these bolts and I'll be set.

    For the bolts? I didn't have all year to wait. And well, if its the bolts they are only worth about 50c each anyway.
