Have seen pic of wife, Luke's done well for himself lol.

Move to Toowoomba, it's beautiful ;)

And the biggest and may I add only point you should need is the fact that I live here, and the TSO boys always put on a mean feed and piss up (usually utilising Chris's house with attached pool)

... *although Tom (Tommis85) is the only one that swims in it, the rest of us are usually to drunk

Just move you won't regret it :)

You need a reason to come to the most laid back state in australia? Come on mang, srsly

If you want to make bulk money and can handle big hours, come on up, but i can almost guarentee that julia gillard will be sending you a xmas card funded by the tax you are giving her. The weather isnt as bad as some people make it out to be, i grew up in the centre of australia (near three ways road house on a cattle station) and that is hot lads, farkern hot. The beaches are kick ass, the pubs are kick ass, the lifestyle is kick ass, the locals are kick ass(mostly), and the monetary opportunities are kick ass. There are almost infinite holiday destinations at your doorstep as the country north of mackay changes yearly with the weather, you have the reef, awesome fishing, just yeah, stop bieng a phaggot and get up here lol. The only thing you may miss is the shopping and nightclubbing, its not as intense up here, and thats because nobody really gives a fcuk up here lol!

on a serious note though...

Brisbane employment is getting harder and harder due to all the Campbell Newmann cuts and general economic slow down.

Humidity rarely drops below 103%

GC is full of crime

The entire 2 weeks of winter gets pretty cold in Brisbane... well you'll think so after about 2 years up here.

I did the same as you are thinking back in 2006.

Do it..!

get a job offer before you move, obviously.

Southside of Brisbane generally has good transport due to some rather nice freeways, north and west side, not so much.

The racetrack isn't a good reason to move to Ipswich (its out of the city anyway), but houses there are cheaper, and due to the better new roads its not that hard to commute to the city from it.

was born in bris, but have have lived in most states in aus, ippy is the worst place iv'e called home accept for canberra. GC hinterland, maroochie coolum, happyrock is my pick, further north and you need a high tolerance to heat and bitties/ stingies

Mike.

will look into these places.

sorry ...

replace happyrock with maryborough

this was one of the places we were looking at.

Hot wheat her means that wimminz wear less clothing....

What sort of job? I work in recruitment? May be able to help. :)

am mechanic, but not sure if i want to stay in this profession.

im sick of the crap you have to put up with.

Whooaaaaa hold up!

Canberra isn't that bad haha

think of it this way.

you think you gf's hot?

date a lingerie model, then look back at your current missus.

and you will know what its like to leave canberra.

*note, i have not seen your missus, its just a comparison, meant for a laugh*

dont club, so that wont phase me.

i dont mind shopping, but alot i do online.

im more concerned about the heat and humidity.

i farking hate heat and humidity.

and its more the missus that wont leave sydney at the drop of a hat.

im pretty keen to make our way up there.

would have to organise jobs, and sell our house/pay off loan/apply for new loan for house where we want to move to.

Humidity is the killer, we normally average around 30 deg. in summer and 20 deg. in winter. Sydney and Melbourne get more and longer heat waves than we do up here. Where abouts are you thinking of moving to? Greater Brisbane or one of the northern towns?

not sure, I like the SE corner.

but I also want to stay with range of at least a drag strip.

I like keeping my antics off street.

Well I'm at the very north end of Brisbane and it's about an hour drive to the nearest drag strip, Lakeside is about 5 minutes up the road and the 2 best mountain runs are only about 15 min away. So within greater Brisbane you will be about 1 hour from the drags.

Yah stay north side...don't let anyone talk you into going south of that river ;)

Seriously though, keep out of Logan and the west or have a very serious amount of security on your line.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
