Never has property EVER fallen by that much in WA. Even when interest rates were in the 15-20% range. The examples you are looking at are inflated inner city prices for small units/apartments ect in the Eastern States where there was a massive over supply when the demand falls. If you're buying a property worth around 600k it would possibly cost this much in fees. I'd imagine your 1st house would be worth around 250-300k which I think you'll find fees, stamp duty and all will be in the 20-30k range. And yes - stamp duty does suck ass.. That is possibly the stupidest statement I've ever heard. The longer you wait the more it will cost. I've got mates trying to buy in Scarbs and his indecision over the last 18mths has cost him about 200k due to price increases. If you had've bought in NISMOS's area when he did - you would've doubled your money by now. Prices have been rising in Perth at a rapid rate, BUT - interest rates are low and there is no massive hike foreseeable. Small increases -yes, but nothing in the order of 2-3% increases that would make the repayments unaffordable. Prices fell or corrected in the 80s due to people having to get out because of the massive interest rates of around 17%. That ain't gonna happen soon. Also - if you look at the figures, the price corrections were only in the order of 2-5% AFTER they'd already risen by 40%. Only those who over stretched themselves on huge interest rates were caught out. What is going to happen is that prices are going to steadily increase as more and more people come to the state and as WA expands and the demand increases. By not purchasing now you're costing yourself more money because the prices have gone up and you've also lost out on the capital growth you could've had. Using that logic, my mate trying to buy in Scarbs has really lost 400k - 200k in extra cost and 200k in lost opportunity of capital growth.... scary ain't it? Sorry for the long post - but when I see people make crazy statements as those above - it makes me a little frustrated.

Sh*t - you know what? He's right! Where's that petrol and rag - I need to burn my 2 door to the ground..

Hahahaha... I mean, I was just saying something previously for the 4 doors to take the piss outta Kym, but your comments above take the cake.. More looks? Cause that's what you bought your car for eh? Poofta...

Does the extiguisher need to be of a certain type or can it be one of the one's available at Repco ect?

Where does the fire extiguisher need to be fitted? Passenger footwell ok?

Guys - rather than just thinking engine, think a bit deeper.. Clutch Gearbox Brakes Suspension Diff Will these be suitable to your new engine setup? If not they can add a huge amount of $ to your mods...

I know - not that funny.. I was grasping...

You know you love it.. Poor Kym just needs people to listen to him...

I've been searching for the old "pay attention to Kym" threads but can't find em... Just please get some proper treatment before you turn into a complete pussy...

*Dig *Dig *Dig

ROFL - I thought you couldn't kill those things?!?

How can we help poor Kym and his vaginal disease that will eventually turn him into a complete pussy? Does anyone know of corrective treatment? I've been told that driving fast, while eating hunks of meat and being pelted with paintballs and listening to man-rock really loud can help reduce the symptoms.. Any other ideas? ps - Kym, you brought this on yourself..

Doh - my set-top box won't pick up 31 either... Anyone get it and can post a link?

SAU crew - "Oh my god, what are all those sores appearing all over Kym's face and body?!?" Doctor - "They're not sores, they're tiny vaginas. If he doesn't get treatment very soon, he'll turn into a complete pussy."

Seconded.. I saw him secretly trying to bang the exhaust of a 4 door just last week... Definitely door envy.. Kym you poof...

"The Suzuki Swift hits 100/kmh in 10.0 seconds and has a top speed of 190kmh." Surely this is more than a little optimistic...

10kph - 24kph $210 3 points In a 110kph zone by 20kph, but less than 25kph $210 3 points automatic One month suspension... What the?!?! so doing 80 in a 60 zone is safer and receives a lower penalty than doing 130 in a 110 zone? Go figure.. and I thought WA was bad!

Braking in something so light, with only 2 wheels contacting the gound from such a high speed would be... interesting....

The stock speedo is horribly out at high speeds. My Pivot speed meter, showed 160km/h at the end of the 1/4 mile track, stock speedo showed 180km/h and the sheet said 160.5km/h. 5,500rpm in fifth usually hits the stock speed limiter which is set at 180km/h ain't it?

***edited out of respect***

It does come on.. well mine did anyway, but it was below the E line when it did..

Whats the story with the crash? Was it his fault?

Nope. That will result in it venting at anything greater than atmospheric pressure.

They're called VAN turbos - or Variable Area Nozzle turbos I think. It's a great idea that no-one seemed to want to develop. Great to hear a manufacturer is doing it as the flow down effects over time will be handy for us...

Hopefully they'll be something to take the heat off imports eh?
