Hey guys,

Im finally moving out of home with my gf and our little puppy! couldnt take my mum's nagging anymore.....

I just wanted to know if any1 is in the Ringwood/Ringwood East area and what you guys think of it.

I know I have to look out for that TMU guy, but as we are both students, we got a place walking distance to ringwood station so I dont have to use my car as much... (hopefully about 200kms-if that a week, instead of 500-600)

Heres a pic of the little guy..

Good luck with it all mate! And what ever you do, when you lock the dog up to sleep at night and it starts to cry every hour, DO NOT PUT IT UP ON YOUR BED!! Sure he will sleep all night and you will be like ahhh this is heaven, but 3 years later when he still sleeps on the bed you will regret it. I now sleep with my fiance and a 3 yr old Staffy that hogs the middle of the bed!!

Thanks guys :) dw ... it has a 1 lock up garage... I said to the gf I wasent moving into a place without one!

Dirk Diggler: I feel for ya, a staffy taking up half ya bed would be horrible! but this little guy is about the size of your elbow to your rist... he has a little bed on the floor, because he cant even jump up on the bed! so its alright.

and good on ya ryan.. you must be doing pretty decent for a place in toorak! havent seen you in yonks... where were u before u moved again?

P.S Jay, thats why we got him, unique colour, hes grown on me over the past few months... just a great temperment, lots of attitude for a tiny thing...

mt waverley

apartments in toorak start at 210-250 for 1BR, 240+ for 2BR... hawthorn was similar when i was looking... we pay 220, is heaps bigger than more expensive ones in glen iris, but still rather a house :)

Im in Boronia/Bayswater, so not too far at all. You'll find A LOT of commodore drivers that will sit on your ass/want to drag you at the lights etc. It seems they all breed in this area. Just ignore them and they will speed off soon enough.

Otherwise area is good, can't complain. Just bought my house here last year. =)

brighton to ringwood - enjoy the culture shock :D

haha yep!

I'm moving to Brighton with the gf... Prahran is too full of fark ups... the last straw was the junky shooting up outside our apartment at 8:30 in the morning with his chick standing there twitching, drooling and staring at the needle like a fat person looks at a donut... was gross and in full view of everyone, could have just ducked into one of the garages there but no...

moving to Well street, between middle brighton station and the beach... yuppy style lol :)

Ppft - what would you know Ash. You never leave a 10k radius of the CBD. Don't listen to Ash, he knows nothing when it comes to real life :D

Good luck with the move and nice cat :D

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) - What am I missing about Boronia/Bayswater? I know Bayswater is a dump but yeah?

LOL!

Adzmax, me and a friend was just having a joke about Bayswater as she use to live out there (I think) or had friends there.

Was just saying its all Caucasian ppl live out there as opposed to Springvale with all Asians. :)

LOL! There is no way the nagging could be as worse as my mum's ... not to mention the fact my gf and her dont get along!

Well my advice is.....Dont do it, stay at home as long as you can, in fact remain there rooted to the spot forever. Nagging is a small price to pay. Shit just gets done at home, once out of that shit has to be done by you. No fun!

Unless of course you have a few million spare whereby you can buy a place and someone to cook, clean, garden and do your washing as well. If that last part is at all close, where are you moving to, and do you want a boarder? hahaha.

Ypu honestly think the nagging will stop when you move out....nope the nagging baton is passed to your gf from your mum....enjoy!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
