If your all so worried about fuel prices check out

www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au (perth peeps only).

U can check out the price graphs and search for the cheapest metro on any fuel.

By the way i paid $1.359 for ultimate yesterday in wanneroo on the way to drift battle and only got 335km a tank.

This is total BS!

$3 a liter? so what happens when the country just shuts down because normal working class people can no longer afford petrol? are we all going to ride f*cking push bikes to work?

how is it that in less then 3 years petrol has crept up from .70c a liter to $1.50 per liter?

doesnt south australia have enough oil under to make our own petrol to service australia for the next x hundred years but because we are a part of opec we cant use it.

also, is like .50c of that $1.50 pure tax? I wonder how long it will be before there is a total revolt in this country.....

You can also blame the governments for taking so much tax out .. when they levy nearly 50% in taxes..As you can see below:

QLD seems to be 10-15c/L cheaper than NSW and VIC, and has an extra rebate to reduce the prices. Go lobby your state governments to do the same.

70c?! last time it was 70c/L was about 10 years ago.

I heard the other day on the news it was going to be $3/litre sad.gif

bahaha.. you believe what you see on the news .. bahahahaha

and more bahahaha.. Look they are always doomsaying and things as whoever says it gets attention. We'll see. They were saying things such as this during Gulf War I. 10 years on its gone up but not *that* much.

i used to complain when premuim petrol cost 90+cents when i got my first turbo charged car, that was usually on a saturday or friday nite ... it was usually in the high 80's i think for premuim, so 80 odd cents for normal petrol, this was about 5 years ago

and me, well im on gas, but thats going to go up too, boo

thinken about either buying a motie bike

or just a pushbike

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
