Rod Penrose Racing Update - March 2016
Hi everyone,
It's been some time since my last post in November last year and there is quite a bit of news but I will keep it short so as not to
bore you.
The website now contains more than 1,200 products most of which are in stock and I now have regular shipments coming in monthly from my suppliers in
order to keep my itinerary levels up.
The RPR exhaust systems are also popular and we have been testing the new RPR Sidewinder headers and systems to suit heater boxes on the Dyno with
really great results. ( http://rodpenroseracing.com.au/255-rpr-exhaust-systems )
I have also started "Monthly Subscriber Specials" so I suggest you join my RPR Newsletter (via the website) to take advantage of some fantastic
discounts and offers.
We have also been testing a new range of high performance Spark Plugs from Europe that we are very happy with. We are planning on putting together an
editorial in an upcoming edition of VWMA Magazine.
The new EMPI Cylinder Heads have just been released! These are a complete new casting that EMPI has been keeping under wraps for some time. Based upon
our initial testing, they appear to be very good quality in addition to making more power. These heads come in a range of configurations. I will be
adding them to the website in the coming weeks.
In the coming month, I will also be implementing an Online Payment Gateway. This will enable my customers to pay for their products using their Credit
Cards or PayPal account via a secure web based interface.....I'll keep you posted.
Many customers have been contacting me wanting more Type 2 (Kombi) parts.....well, over the past few months, I have been extending the range of Type 2
parts to include engine and transmission mounts, bushes, gaskets kits, push rod tubes and CV joints.
You may also be interested to see a few of the completed engines that I have recently finished. I have posted some videos and information on my
website:
Single Port heads are also now available and these come complete with valves, springs and retainers.
Over the coming months we will be packaging up a number of products into "kits" at a reduced price so keep checking on the website.
Cheers
Rod
