dude thats cheap...

almost time to buy another one before they get really RARE

That is cheap... only 1 hit of postage too. Plus remove 17.5% VAT that we dont have to pay on pommy prices.
If you sourced locally, this is the cheapest you'd get.

$78

6x Iridium Spark Plugs
$120ish from any auto shop.

8.0mm magnecor leads
Don't bother, if you go for an aftermarket computer like Haltech, these will f**k it up.
Go for I.C.E leads or similar. $120 direct from I.C.E in Melbourne.

2x Rocker Cover Gaskets
6x Sparkplug Seals
