hey guys, im in the boat with bejo and Neil.....will be there to watch and help out hopefully... will be cruising up woth apollo s15 on the morning.

think Abo_Bob has done it.

a novated lease is a lease that is between yourself, your employer and the lender. It's sort of salary packaging the car... id suggest a chattel mortgage where you can claim full input tax credits from GST incurred expenses. hope you can clarify it all with your accountant. Cheers.

ah k sweet. thanks Jess....im full vegie....except for mcdonalds hahaha. meet at bunnings again? if i cant make 730 ill meet you guys there...bloody trains never run on time!

depending on which method is used to depreciate your car, you should be able to claim all depreciation on it. at work i use the set rate/business km method over the log book method because its more beneficial to the client. just depends how many km's you do per financial year... i doubt you'll lose as much as 20k.....i recently depreciated a 120kish Audi S4.....and rate/business km method calculated about 1000 bucks including all expenses. dont take my word for it, im only a trainee accountant at the moment... it shouldnt make a difference if its a sports car, luxury car, bomb, etc... best to talk with your accountant. can someone confirm 5000km is the maximum distance that can be claimed with the 12cents/km method? i need my Master tax guide!!

Hey Denis, yeah it would be good to see some results... Unigroup a good bunch of guys? I might head there in a few weeks when all my parts roll in.

ahhh damn it. very sad to hear man...hopefully its nothing TOO costly. so the cruise was cut short? some pics from today... http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00918.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00913.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00914.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00915.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00916.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/ro...01/DSC00917.jpg

okay...should see you at 6am. im not participating at the track day...but will help out the guys at the pits.

Craig!! no wayy man!! i went to my cousins telling averyone "i sat in a gtr today...you shouldve seen this thing!!" its kinda ironic coz we spoke about gearboxes f**king up before i left. good luck with it dude, unfortunate =/. ANNA x 2. where were you ladies?

Yeah lol, please do a search. most will recommend the aPexi power intake, but depends what you're after. (i.e. noise, filtration, ppower gains...etc) mods close thread please:)

gave my babe a wash tonight. in the freezing cold. but ill risk frostbite to keep her looking shiny. will get pis up soon of dat fine azz. haha

Girraween = Unigroup Engineering. maybe autosports too....could you give me a PM with their contact number Nathaniel? I think UAS charge 90 dollars for a standard power run.

welcome to the forum Nathan. there are plenty of cruises and I recommend taking part in as many events as you can... SAU NSW cruises are good fun and you'll meet plenty of new people, you'll learn where to get cheaper parts, and gain some knowledge on how to maintain your car. I learnt off the guys and girls I met at cruises, and I'm still learning! It should be pointed out though, our cruises aren't for speeding and carrying on. You'll find with most cruises the organiser will explicitly make it clear that no hooning is allowed - that is, speed limits and road rules must be adhered to. Hopefully i'll meet you soon.

PowerTune in fairfield east UniGroup Engineering in Girraween DRC @ greenacre (havnt been there) CRD @ Croydon not too sure about ones near brighton...

hey denis, sorryto hear that man. i thought of Toshi, but the way he coommunicates and answers my queries doesnt make him sound like a good tuner, i wouldnt go to him. although he is cheap, id rather pay a little more to get the job done right.

hey dori, thats cool man. thats for letting me know power tune is about 15 mins from my place. can you let me know how you go + their charge rate. how much those poncams set you back ? Thanks!!

nice pics dude,... you work at CRD slim?

Xtra-fast!!

is there a shift kit for tip tronic?

i remember to toyo show n shine last year....this one shud be good...will see if i can make it.
