If you want QUALITY gear (or a professional and HIGH QUALITY) nstall) go see Darren at Technik Car Audio in Willeton. Certainly not cheap but he might have some gear in your price range!

I've been given several yellows (and always pass pits first time with very little effort...) but you really have to worry about these new Hwy "hoon" patrol cars. They will sticker you for ANY minor reason. The lovely people i've dealt with so far love causing problems. Coming back from freo, doing UNDER the speed limit, having just passed a speed camera, a hand held and a booze bus and all of a sudden this clown pulls some dumbass manourve and has his sticker book out before i even get out of the car... Asking for his details didnt upset him, congratulating him for doing his job to the best of his abilities and making the community safer did though That said, MOST police do a great job. I've dealt with probably 20 coppers in the last two years (including yellow's, a couple of big fines and some other non traffic stuff..) and only had problems with the hwy patrol.. These days if i see a silver hwy patrol car i stop and wait till they leave. They love locations frequented by nice cars, so beware!!

Silver hwy Patrol car?

Good to see people actually THINKING before modding a car No point going fast if you cant stop! I have NFI on prices either. Would it cost 10K to rebuild a reliable RB26 with a single turbo conversion? say another 8K on on turbos / cams. FMIC etc? Since you dont have to do all the brakes and suspension you would then spend the rest on decent ECU and tuning and all the misc bits and pieces? I would probably go speak the the guys at Hyperdrive. They seem to know nissan engines

We all know the RB26's are a GREAT engine and its something different however you would want decent suspension, better brakes (no point going fast if you cant put the power down, corner and stop!), gearbox / clutch etc You could probably have yourself a reliable engine with decent mods and ecu for 18K?? Nothing too hardcore and then spend the remaining on all the non engine stuff!

Interesting... Any pics of your work and prices might be helpful! I need a professional detail soon!

In one week i got done for: A) 4 pts on the narrows. about 40 kms over. Was lucky it wasnt 6pts. B) 6 pts in a 60 zone. Was going WELL above double the speed limit. I was lucky on this one C) 1 pt for 15kms or so over in a 70 zone. Could have been alot worse, could have ended up in court and yellowed. $700 in fines in under a week. Thankfully that was almost 2 years ago and after loosing my license and i certainly learnt my lessons the hard way. Since then i've only been caught by one camera doing 10 kms over on G.E hwy! Most important thing i've learnt is my attitude... I only have 1 person to blame for all the hassles 1 stupid week caused.

IMHO GC is a tad overated but still great. Was over there for 8 days last week or so! Heaps to do. Shopping is great, night life isnt bad and of course the themeparks!! SeaWorld is GREAT. D/W is ok. Tower of terror and the Big Drop are really high. Higher than you imagine! D/W would be great for a tourist or young kid! Tigers are AWESOME though. Weather was very hot and humid and first, then it rained for the last few days! Depending on what you like, theres so much to do, 4 days isn't enough Hell 4 weeks probably isnt enough time to fit it all in, plus lots of relaxing!! Im sure you will have a ball though!!

I've just upgraded and have a nokia 5210, drop proof, splash proof phone for sale. Solid phone, smallish and often used by tradies Perfect working oder. Cover is getting a bit worn, as you would expect. Make an offer. AFAIK its unlocked. Has taken several sim cards before.

For a slow, charity cruise i saw some very stupid driving... A speed camera, a couple of accidents and some police to make sure things were going to plan made it a reasonable cruise. Hopefully the camera on the freeway didnt claim too many.. A few stupid people around which is to be expected with a cruise this size, i guess. Hopefully everyone raised a decent amount of money for those less fortunate.

hmmmmm Wait to you have a REAL bad day. All car problems become so insignificant. The hassles of work also dissapear, all the other stuff you complain about is forgotton, those small issues in life which you think are huge, arent anymore and then you realise just how lucky you are

Dalcos are very good! Last week i had some minor paint / bodywork done by them and i was impressed with their attitudes. I annoyed them heaps, asked lots of questions and made lots of phone calls. Only one slight misunderstanding, which worked out fine. Reasonable prices as well. I wouldnt call them dirt cheap, but from what i've seen and heard, their work is quality.

Everyone makes stupid choices and parents will always whinge. Its what they do and one day it might just be some of us Making stupid mistakes is how we learn IMO. Them whinging is a sign they care... The choices are A) a parent who doesnt give a shite or B) a parent who is (OVER) protective, cares, all that typical stuff that we all take for granted. My olds have a love hate relationship with my car.... Its too fast, loud, costs to much etc. But they know it makes me happy, so they accept it! Be thankfull they actually care Too often these days alot of parents dont...

Thats the way i look at it now. When bad stuff happens to my car now, of course i get upset, but i look back and realise just how lucky i am to be having these problems... Unless its something fairly serious, i kinda blow it off now. I appreciate life so much more. October has taught me so much more about life. My mind has been opened so much. The rest of the year was crap!! Breaking up with my girl after years, lotsa work hassles, lots of money hassles, car hassles, loss of license etc. Funnily enough it all means very little now. The dreaded C word is one that i hate hearing. All the best to you, your grandad and your family nismogirl. Being strong and staying positive sounds good in theory, however it doesnt always work like that
