    Yeah we are going to finish it all off next weekend, i dont drive it during the week anyway so it will be fine until then. Kellie earthed my boost solenoid too, couple more pounds, pulls so much harder through 2nd and 3rd now!

    hey damien, did you earth it via a switch or did you just earth it so its constant?

    interested in doing this boost solenoid trick

    was the difference noticeable?

    Interest rate may be the same but a personal loan has the interest & fees calculated up front which is payable regardless of how soon you pay it off.

    Having said that, I don't think you've got much choice.

    If you've got a mortgage, that may be a better way of doing it by extending your home loan (tell them its for a renovation) or use your redraw facility which most variable loans have.

    i agree with sled, the better option is to either redraw (if you have a variable home loan) or if possible apply for a top up on your loan. with the commbank there are three types of personal loans that you can apply for unsecured fixed, variable and secured fixed rate

    the loan terms for unsecured tend to be around the 1-7 years with minimum starting at 5000 with a max of $50,000.

    the fixed rate secured loan is for cars that are bought from reputable car yards, with the car being no older than 5 years. the loan term on these are 1-5 years with min 14,000 and no maximum amount you can borrow.

    also to add there tends to be a establishment fee of around 300.

    in order to apply for a personal loan, one must be working preferably full time and be able to provide financials for two consecutive pay slips. what i also say is the more information you can give the better.

    as long as the loan purpose is for "personal use" they dont really care. say its for a holiday, say its for a wedding, say its for rennovations.

    by all means shop around for rates, value and service.

    if you have questions, dont hesistant to ask

    goodluck with it all

    [SA Cars Spotted Thread #3]

    in South Australia

    Posted

    saw a very nice midnight purple 33 gtr with gold dished gtc's and led rear lights

    plates were VSPEC

    on idle sounded like it was miss fireing really badly

    spotted that too.... Sound tough on boost.

    loved the gold gtcs

    also spotted at around 6ish a nice clean looking white r32 with black bonnet on main north, with sau sticker across the front windscreen.

    I Am 17 On My P's What Car Would Be Best For Me?

    no it doesnt im probably going to put it in my parents names because it would be cheaper

    forgive me if i am wrong, but i was under the impression that insurance companies required import cars whether turbo or NA to be insured under the youngest driver...i know just car require this. so even if its under your parents name and you are in an accident they wont cover you. And we all know insurance companies will do anything to take our money when it comes to premiums, but when it comes to pay outs they will find anything that may void your policy.

    goodluck with that all champ!

    damn, sorry to hear of your misfortunes luke.

    Hopefully it doesnt cost too much to fix.

    its crazy how even after the alarm goes off they still have the nerve to attempt to take the steering lock off. i thought a flashing led was enough to scare any opportunist thief away, i guess i was wrong...they still tried.

    Keep them locked up boys & girls

    Turbo Timers!

    I hate TT's i really do, ive had turbo cars for years and never had a turbo failure.. its not hard to do, just drive normally and sedately for the last 5 mins before you arrive at your destination and you'll be fine.

    TT's make your car easier to steal, having the ignition wires right behind the device.

    +1

    i agree with simon, there is no need for a turbo timer. not only are they an easy defect item for police, but also makes it easier for thieves to start your car.

    drive off boost for the last km or two before you reach your destination then you can either turn off or wait 30 seconds. and like madaz has already mentioned in earlier posts by the time you grab your wallet, your sunnies, wind the windows up, detach your deck and take it with you, get the steering wheel lock on...it should be ample time.

    this question is directed at Simon and other members who track their cars...after a hard session at mallalah how long do let your cars idle before you turn off??

    its good to shop around all the exhaust places and get quotes. but from memory, the quotes i recieved from everlast mufflers were a tad expensive as compared to others.

    goodluck with that all.

    cheers
