Anyone after Titanium Retainers for a VE?

Well Franklin now has some for you

Price is $296US and they weigh 9.6 grams each (compared to 17.2 grams for the factory ones).


That's them pictured with their springs and valves.

Just thought I'd share with you. I'm not sure what postage is (but they're only small so I don't suppose it'd be much).

FCams on the forums for PM.
fcams@xtra.co.nz for email contact.

Any questions fire away guys.

Did you know titanium retainers are wear items? You have to replace them from time to time.

Either way, good to see these available.

"Those manly valves you see are semi finished billet valves..no one makes a finish oversize valve with the correct length. We machine our own valves to suit. By the time we machine them they are worth $50 USD each, lots and lots of work in making them! Yes they flow better then stock nissan ones and are over-size"

thats a responce i got from them about a set of valves that were in a picture they sent me. im not sure if they are the same or not.

What is that leight weight alloy that like you can tourch it and it still cool to the touch right after. All i remember is some video that the metal is in a keg form, and then someone heats it up with a tourch and nothing happens. I think it is a Martin Lawerence movie.
