lol wipers aren't working. Doesnt matter if the engine pops 1 minute after rego transfer, you're in the clear.

This is what mechanical inspections and roadworthies are for. Tell him to take it up with whoever he did (or didn't) get to inspect the car, or the RWC workshop.

Cashed my points in for $230

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

I like my BankWest Breeze Mastercard - low interest and 5% cashback on all 'daily living purchases' such as Coles, Shell, etc. some months I get ~$50 cash for just using my credit card although I'm not sure they're offering that deal anymore to new users: http://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/credit-cards/compare-credit-cards/breeze-mastercard-low-rate-credit-cards

Never paid a cent of interest as I always pay it back before the due date :)

First night on melatonin @ 2.5mg (half tablet)...so far so good. Vivid dreams (got caught touching myself in public, wtf); still woke up a couple of times in the early hours of the morning; don't feel as tired as I normally do, could be placebo. More testing required.

I tend to get more dreams on them too, or at least, dreams I wake up and remember.

Yeah for worst case scenario I've got a couple of 5mg Valium here to knock me right out.... But wouldn't be taking the whole thing

I was only taking 1mg in Thailand and those knock you out pretty good anyway

I wish Valium knocked me out, little to no effect. Benzodiazepam-based sleeping tablets don't work on me - I've taken 4 in one day after 3 days of no sleep - no effect. I ended up walking around Times Square New York at 4am eating Pizza after taking them lol. Stilnox on the other hand - miracle worker. It knocks me out cold. I've managed to make the packet of 14 (they limit supply massively) last probably a good 4-5 months, just getting to the end now. Had to take one last night as I had my usual Sunday night unable to sleep after two long sleeps in a row. The only side effects I get are a very dull headache all day - like I've had all today. Panadol gets rid of that. Melatonin usually gets me by during the week, and then I take a break and sleep without it Friday/Saturday as my body knows there's generally nothing to wake up for/be anxious about the next morning.

    • 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
