Oh OK.

A couple of guys on the list have previously recommended
Good Performance Centre somewhere on Railway parade, Yennora.
His number is 96816788 and his name is Dat.

I know that one member had some mods done to his car at Rigoli.
Unit 9, 442 Victoria St, Wetherill Park 2164
or
unit 4, 10 long Street, Smithfield, NSW 2164
(not sure which one he went to, but I think they may be related).

You could also try Western Toyota on Woodville Road Guildford.

Parramatta Mitsubishi.

I have no idea about pricing.

Also only GPXs have adjustable tappets, GR's have hydraulic tappets and if they are noisy you can only really add thicker oil to the engine.

i been calling around like north shore mitsubishi
taki at perfect tune
uas

and their price was quite high $300 about
i dont think its worth that price since it is recommended that you check the clearance every 20k

i got my car service already but tappets stil going loud
but after this service performance is soo much better now i can really feel mivec kicking in like VTEC YO!!!!! (how they kick in strong) sometimes i get a little wheel spin when it kiks in
