lol ... except what you left on the garage floor :)

hmm ... 8 days to save 16k.

well it looks like I'll have to save a bit longer then :P

So I guess that means a couple of extra thousand $$.

So when are you able to get in yours and drive away and have you registered it and everything yet?

Still ... you could make TWO black lines while your waiting I guess. :)

As far as I know, the new SEVS scheme will only allow stock cars to be brought into the country, unless you bring it through the Private Import scheme which requires you to own the car in Japan for 12 months prior to shipping it here.

This will foreseeably raise the prices of nicely modified imports already in Australia...

i drove it round for the first week i had it cos if a temp rego :) so i know what im missing out on :P

btw if ur gonna try and get finance from a bank or maybe even finance company.... id be saving now cos u need to show a savings record... thats y i couldnt buy mine last yr when i turned 18 :)

yeah maybe

if u havent been saving already

id say start saving now and wait till u have most of the money or whateva position u want 2 put urself into

if ur looking at getting a loan, look at how much the repayments will b and try saving at least that each week plus insurance and a few extra $ for other costs

if u can do that for say 3 months id say ud be ok in getting a loan

i saved 250 a week for 3 months and got a 20k loan easy

but im not sure on what factors come into this aswell

i'm doing the same thing as chaos great minds think alike :P

i'v got bout 10 atm gonna save around another 2 and buy a 180

btw i work at kmart do about 12 hours a week after school n stuff so i save alot of that, have been doing so since yr 10 - 2 years later i a few steps away from my goals

good work ... I guess that's what im gonna have to do .. just keep working at it .. no easy way out.

Makes me jealous of those Japanese you see driving 'round in their lines and supra's when I know damn well that they're parents paid for it. Still, at least when you buy it yourself you'll learn to appreciate it.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
