  1. decided to try a quote with Commonwealth Bank Car insurance for shits and giggles... So wont cover pulsar with carbon panels. BUT will cover aftermarket convertible pulsar ??? WTF
  2. Bolt ons are great for a daily. Wish I could bolt-on the hilux. Get some 6 stud rays wheels. So new WRX and STI are different things? I'm pretty out of touch with new cars... In other news, mate of mine at Tokyo Auto Salon... Some cool stuff there.
  3. Evos and STD's do pretty well resale wise. Plus people with the older ones always wanting goodies from the newer ones to put in their older models. Seems to be a blessing and a curse that Subaru don't change much (if at all) between models. It's like a cheap way of doing modular cars.
  4. Needs turquoise Gram lites. Any exhausts that don't come with Ti tip? Guess you don't get to choose interior colours or anything else to differentiate from every other STI? Resale would be decent on those.
  5. Should have got a standard WRX for dat CVT.
  6. Nice. Have you ordered it? What's ETA? What options?
  7. Birds would beat it... But it would need to be at a set of traffic lights
  8. But bank owns the house. People think rent is dead money.... Ummm no interest is wasted money.
  9. Becoz debt
  10. Does new owner think it's been stock it's whole life?
  11. im not swapping anything. im selling the car.
  12. hey, you're right, Saab engine does look similar. motor was noisey in the head, took rocker cover off and found lose bolts on the camgear. hopefully thats it... Got a guy to play around with the carbs and tuned it a little so it would run. Not sure if its got more issues that need sorting, but accelerator.... ive driven more responsive 30yro Ford Broncos. Apparently everything takes ages to warm up etc, thats just the nature of the beast... yet all triumph owners complain about overheating issues lol. i think i need to drive a well sorted carby car to see what the deal is, but this triumph certainly aint it
  13. needs slant engine. hood is low. F20 would do the job.
  14. so mighty car mods going 350Z. im all for the platform, but good luck making it fast on a budget. they should buy my wheels. Triumph is running. Drove it last night. Would be a fun little car. the looks are growing on me. but f**k that engine. and i now have a dislike for carbies. f**k old cars. old engines belong in the bin. So im 100% selling it.
  15. sif you dont have V-cam. every GTR should have v-cam. v-cam is the coolest.
  16. I've used Keysborough diffs. They were helpful, knowledgeable and well priced. Dont judge the guys by the state of the shop lol. They did some custom work for me so stuff thats meant to bolt together is pretty basic.
  17. I'm sure there's something going on behind the scenes. Better off forking out for something else. They were getting into importing and containers or something. Something might have gone sour or personal issues with employees/owner.
  18. I know of one other person from SA that's been trying to contact them with no luck. I think somethings up.
  19. So you haven't driven either yet?
  20. So mighty car mods got a focus RS... Now Leigh can be a chopped fan boi too
  21. I've had one of those before.... His passport photo looked legit. I think used some Korean selfie app to make him look more kawaii
  22. If the Triumph sells before the ford does.... GG Though minor setback at the moment... Apparently motor is super rattely. Gotta check head tappets/shim clearance. Rocker cover gasket will probably perish if sneezed on, so gotta source another before ripping the cover off... Otherwise it runs and drives pretty good apparently. Could be timing chain guide is gone, but that's too much work.
  23. looking at reviews of new Gran Turismo... im glad I moved on from that series. I gave up at GT5, and sooooo glad I did. Nothing has improved, only gotten worse.
  24. I was just worried because I got receipt for $10 brokerage for $1.10 worth of shares :|
