AAAE & CRE 2011
Adrad, Adair, Natrad and Harrop joined forces, exhibiting together at the biannual Australian Automotive Aftermarket Expo and Crash Repair Expo, held across 3 days at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre in mid-May.
This huge trade-only event achieved a record attendance of 12,600 qualified trade visits - all coming to see the latest automotive products and services from around 400 Australian and international exhibitors.
Our team was inundated with a steady stream of visitors. Existing and potential trade and retail customers, suppliers, government officials and training providers were all keen to stop by to learn about our capabilities and discuss the newly released products on display.
Featured items included a new range of Delphi compressors for ADAIR and a new High Efficiency Adrad Alloy Core design for performance radiators. Harrop received plenty of attention with a preview of their newly developed Hurricane manifold for LS3 engines and examples of their exclusive, US-sourced, Forgeline wheels.

Many modern cars have filters that remove dust, pollen and odours from air entering the cabin via the ventilation system. Over time, the filter becomes clogged and must be replaced regularly to keep your cabin air fresh and healthy.
ADAIR now carry a range of aftermarket cabin air filters to suit popular vehicles. These filters provide equivalent performance to original parts but for less cost. Ask your local mechanic or service technician to fit an ADAIR cabin filter. You'll enjoy fresh, clean air and cost savings too.

OFF ROAD RACING WITH BRUCE GARLAND & HARRY SUZUKI
Bruce Garland drives one of Australia’s toughest off-road racing machines through some of the harshest terrain on the planet.
Bruce and his navigator, Harry Suzuki, race an Isuzu Motorsports custom-modified D-Max Ute. They have amassed a collection of outright victories and class wins in Australasian Safari’s plus a class win and 11th outright in the formidable Dakar Rally.
To cope with the extreme heat of desert racing, Bruce chooses Adrad cooling products. The D-Max utilises a specially designed cooling package which is mounted behind the cabin (for protection). The Adrad High Performance Alloy radiator is extremely effective at controlling engine temperature whilst enduring punishing race conditions. During severe stages of the 2010 Australasian Safari, Bruce reported that the D-Max was operating well below the temperature of competitor vehicles.
The D-Max is also equipped with race-bred Harrop Aluminium brake calipers which provide the stopping power needed to pull this world-class 4x4 racer down from speeds approaching 200kph.Queensland Floods - January 2011
