If I ever win the lotto I'll walk into a Ferrari dealership dressed like I normally dress, in trackies etc

If they act like cocks and lose the sale, I'll drive past in my new lambo and give em a wave

When I was looking I was ready to buy drove an hour to the only dealership in victoria with a black GS, leather, auto, premo sound, I was looking at the car for about 25 minutes waiting for the first guy to actually bother asking me how I'm going and talk about the car unlike the rest of them that would of thought I was a time waster.. that guy was a young bloke too and guess what, he got the sale.

Negotiation was pretty funny, this is late 2011 for a 2011 plated car and he came back with like $250 off the price just laughed and ended up getting 2.5k off instead I think from memory because we stood up and started walking outside the door.

Does anyone get any use out of their credit card award points? I have a feeling its all a con unless you use your CC for business use, pretty hard to rack up enough points for anything good :/

Got a Commbank Awards creditcard but might change to a low interest creditcard instead...i guess less interest would be better than any bs points....

Some credit cards offer qantas freq flyer points but usually its $1 = 0.5freq points. With that logic, i would need to spend at least $20,000 on the credit card to get 10,000points...

Cashed my points in for $230

Considering I'd never paid a cent of interest at that point, it wasn't a bad deal

Not bad, just checked mine. I can get about $150 cashback. However its taken probably 6yrs to get enough points to get such a claim lol

F*** Amex, they rape suppliers on usage charges and consequently a lot won't accept it.

Hey Pat do you remember a chocolate bar called Take 5? It was a chocolate bar with Malteser type balls in it, sitting in a row.

Edit: wasn't Take 5...but it was "something" 5.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
