  1. Need to epoxy resin my garage floor But Tony was nice enough to obtain me some sort of refund even after 88E and second job profits
  2. Buying off me this weekend I think, sounds like he's doing a pretty serious build with it, so at least it will go to good use
  3. Guy wanting to buy my external oil pump
  4. Have beaten a few of those standing and rolling, one sounded modified too lol
  5. Dunno It'll manage fine on flat ground with 100kg, as our overweight sales reps can attest to
  6. New version made = depreciation for old, unless the new version is unpopular, in which case, appreciation
  7. Through the sound and flames
  8. Rare for Audis to want to give you a go; have only had oppprtunity against a friend's ECU flashed S3 and an SQ7. Everytime I see an RS3 they drive sensibly. Golf GTIs on the other hand...
  9. As for rentals, there's good reasons to rent, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's financially better over the long term than paying a mortgage, unless your interest is more than a month's rent for the same kind of place (unlikely). You might waste a lot of money on interest but you end up with an asset or at least a redeemable share in an asset. Disclaimer: everyone's situation is different. Consult your product disclosure statement. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
  10. The 10% of the market who could afford in that scenario are pretty much the ones who have been driving it up in the first place. They have disproportionately expansive wealth compared to the rest. I agree it will slow down eventually, but for other variables, like a downtrend in foreign investment. I think majority market affordability will have little to do with it, without government intervention. Also the more Melbourne sprawls, the more inner suburban properties will push up by virtue of comparison. I think it's gonna take a recession or a serious drop off in the rentals market to stop this train.
  11. dezz likes f**king over other shareholders by investing his curse in their stock
  12. What you driving until you find a new car? Should...should get a 33R...
  13. Plus general lack of low end torque in favour of servicing the mid-high RPM band Did love stomping the throttle to start though
  14. More concerned about bonnet getting scratched up Alas my 33R isn't finished yet...maybe post on the SAU FB?
  15. Will she/he be sitting on the bonnet with denim skirt?
  16. That dude was for sure a scam at the start too though...would have taken his money and run. I think the point of the video was to show that at least some are doing it out of desperation / a lack of skill and opportunity, rather than laziness or greed...and that if given the opportunity to work for an honest buck and make a difference to their shitty lives and communities, some probably would. I wonder what the success rate would be if it were able to be tried on more scammers, as I doubt by sheer luck he came across the only malleable guy.
  17. Like the guy who offered to buy my CSGO knife through PayPal for more than it costs to buy one on the steam market (1st redlight). He made an effort to tell me he'd do it with no chargebacks so that I couldn't be scammed (2nd red light). Told him to buy it off me through steam marketplace and he said it was too hard to add money to the steam wallet (3rd red light) - you do this through 4-5 clicks and PayPal lol. By that point I was just having fun with him breaking down his excuses, but remained defiant until the end that he wasn't trying to scam me.
  18. Scammers typically succeed with two mentalities of victims: desperation and/or opportunity chasing. If they can't capitalise on someone's desperation, they will try to create an offer they won't refuse (opportunity). Both emotions blind victims to even obvious telltales of it being a scam. Trick here is to never let an opportunity or desperate situation leverage what you would ordinarily be willing to do were it not an enticing offer.
  19. Looks like Leigh scammed the legit guy using the scammer
  20. If it's just the deposit who cares...don't release car until you have the balance in the form of cash or a bank cheque...no probs. Edit: just realised you might be talking about parts?
  21. Let's see if I can sell my exernal oil pump kit quicker than either of you Might as well not write descriptions as people don't read them anyway And no I won't swap for a Tomei internal that's only done "dyno time". There's likely a good reason you took it out...
  22. Headlights changed? Heh
