* Rear tyres are down to wear indicators.

* JVC MP3 Headunit is having 'earthing' problems (paid to get it fixed this morning, but it's having issues again, told a new headunit is probably required).

* Handbrake needs adjusting/tightening and also needs a new leather cover.

* Motul Oil + Valvoline oil/fuel filters change done only 150km ago.

$17,000 not neg until the end of March (can't believe i'm doing this).

DUUUUDE!!! You're out of your mind - I'm conviced of it now. Come on people - I can personally vouch for this car - It's WELL worth the money he's asking for it - Heck, it was well worth the money he was ORIGINALLY asking for it! Someone's got to be interested?? Add a nice set of aftermarket rims and you've got a sweet looking and very well performing ride! Ben doesn't have any kids yet, so this has been his baby for the past couple of years - all I can say is, he's going to make a very good father!!

Yeah i've been talking P/FC's and AVC-R's for the last 6mths. Everytime I go to purchase new parts someone would call me with an offer so i'd put my money back in my pocket. Then it'd go quiet for a month so i'd be right i'll keep it and get a PowerFC, then another phonecall :(

Well the best piece of advice I can give is accept your first genuine offer. I spent/wasted 10mths trying to sell this for "the right price" meanwhile the value was dropping quicker than the offers. In the end I think I did the smart thing, weighing up the past and future costs and basically 'got rid of it'. If I'd accepted any of my first 3 offers I would have been laughing compared to my end sale price (err giveaway price).

* 10mths with a sticker on my back window (about 15-20 calls, just enquiries nobody arranged to look at it).

* 2wks in the Tradingpost (2 calls, neither looked at it).

* About 4-5mths on Carsales.com.au (about 10 calls and about 3 people looked at it)

* SAU Forums for 10mths, about 5 calls, 1 looked at it.

Without a doubt Carsales is the way to go (The SAU Forums are good because it's free but buyers are alot more pedantic). I've bought my last 3 vehicles from carsales (and sold 2 of those the 3rd I still have).

Anyway ima wait until the financial year is over, see how my tax goes (first year as a 'sole trader') and then go from there...

If anybody pulls up at a set of lights next to a Hiace van with an SAU sticker on it, give us a wave :)

    • If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects 
    • @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.
    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels. 
    • Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete
    • Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
