Going on my lunchbreak now to get the silver Stagea registered with SA plates at the city office. :D

Next month, the black Stagea comes off the road for some body work and respray. :cool: Still waiting for my front bar from Viva.

Ah f**k SAKE I just got a call saying it's been declined on Telstra's end. Apparently, Telstra haven't updated their database (probably a Excel Spreadsheet) to say that I'm off the pair gain system!

So, what do I do? I call up Telstra BUT WAIT... I get told "You need your mothers permission to talk to us. You aren't the account holder." So I went nuts at the guy, saying I'm 21, blah blah blah... but he refused to talk to me, yet a different guy only 2 days ago would talk to me!! Hmmm...

Anyway, got Mum to call them, and yep, yet another confirmation "You're off the pair gain system. You can get broadband!"

It's like they hold off releasing the information into the database for x amount of time, forcing you to sign up with Telstra! It's bullshit. But I'll just keep re-submitting my order with Internode.

Get this, $149.95 a MONTH for Telstra ADSL2+ with only 60gig allowance... What a rip.

Hahaha you'll have to get your mum to tell telstra your an authorised accounts person :D

in telstra's defence there hands are tied by the accc to not have better deals than there wholesale price dictates otherwise all the other isp's cry blue murder

i also reckon with node you'll find that allowance is made up of off peak data and peak

Hmmm...

Telstra are a funny bunch. Waaaay back in the day, Mum decided to move to another phone company. A few weeks after the move, Telstra actually sent a card in the shape of a giant bunch of flowers with the writing "We want you to come back" on it! And inside, all these phone offers!

We ended up moving back :D

I sound like a 12 year old when I say "And Mum said" and "And Mum and me went to the park"

Adam internet told me telstra will play tricks.

saying telstra have to come to your house to do something and if your not there it cost money. They didnt come.

telstra try their hardest to keep you onboard.

im using adam adsl+2. $60 a month. 10gig plus free voip phone etc

Just like I say to my little Daniel; "one day you'll realize that mums know everything!"

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
