ahk, just thought maybe you'd read one of their brochures or something at lunch time. or receive those wonderful corporate emails about employee deals etc.

Employee deals are 21% off

Hope you guys aren't being serious

Just because you lodge a tax return doesn't mean your automatically entitled to a refund

For your average John Doe your refund is more dependant on your employer rather than the Tax Office or Accountant

got my best return in years this year. :cheers:

Do they?

What sort of interest rates do they offer?

Normally they offer absurdly low interest rates (losing money) but then they don't discount the vehicle as much to make up for it

Just had a snoop on their website and the financing link is a dead end. they do their own insurance as well...

Anyone got some good tips for bleeding an empty clutch line?

Lol I definately need to do mine as well...

At DECA I could hardly get it into gears once it was really hot because the clutch wasn't fully disengaging... Dat crunch

When I was in 1st with my clutch pushing hard against the floor, if I revved at all it would creep forward :/

Their own = Outsourced to a supplier of credit / insurance with a slightly better rate for kickbacks?

Bleed it first, if that don't fix it, it could be the pedal position screw on the master cylinder needs adjusting.

generally they wont negotiate one dollar on purchase price when they advertise super low interest rates, i know honda while ago had a deal on finance but it was a 50% up front payment like if you go 50% of the cars value available to you pretty sure 3% finance isnt that important.

also my mates got bmw full circle so you get a guaranteed amount for the car in 3 years or whatever but you gotta to less then a set amount of kms per year and dealer service etc. always a catch.

No mods to fit and will give the power I am shooting for

fair deal. kits you need for an e9 framed turbz don't seem to be too dear, but if you don't need them for your goals, no point. when does the stock 7 turbz start to struggle though? i thought it could make 220-230 or so...?

Empty line needs a bit work work though :(

nah the 7 turbo is tiny, not much more than 200kw on 98, tad more on e85

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
