Guys just received the fuelwatch update:

ULP PRICE HIKE ALERT

========================

Today nearly half of the BP sites across the metropolitan area hiked their unleaded petrol(ULP)price, by up to 8 cpl to 139.9 cpl. The other half of BP sites and two thirds of Coles sites are following tomorrow. This signals the start of a new price cycle, however there are still many opportunities to save – there are over 170 sites in Perth selling ULP tomorrow for under 132.0 cpl

If you are low on petrol should pump today. :worship:

I seen this morning that BP Wanneroo was $1.39 a litre, then this afternoon on my way home BP Woodvale was $1.31. Since we are talking about 2km difference that sucks big time. I need to get some tonight then instead because I would have to fill up on my way home from TAFE tomorrow anyway. *sigh*

BP = wankers.

filled up today, thanks for the word of warning you saved me 8c/L. I use fuel watch every week to find out where the cheapest petrol is around me, never look on Sunday because I’m usually broke from the weekend.

den buy a mira and stop whinning...

its great ppl are teling us there's gonna b a price hike, thats wat fuelwatch is for (www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/prices/top100.cfm) but if ur gonna whine bout petrol being exp, ur a student and shit den live wif a shit life and buy a cheap slow ass fuel saver.

petrol is petrol, rant all u want, even if it was $2/L i'll still pay for it. beats the hell out of replying on australia's unreliable public transport system.

i agree wif Strich9. whining bout fuel is soo yesturday.

*end rant*

*slp*

Driving a nice car comes at a price, the question is are you willing to pay for that price? And yep, it looks like petrol isnt about to get cheaper anytime soon so we all have to get use to it. Gone were the days when my dad used to complain about it being 0.75/L and he thought that was expensive.

It's not the price of petrol that pisses me off on it's own, it's the fact that fuel at BP is ALWAYS more expensive than anywhere else, and there is a refinery in WA!!! I only go there (Like probably almost all of us) because we don't have a choice, and we're never going to win. Fuel is $2 a litre then I have to pay that because I need my car, it's not like I'm going to say "No, I'm not buying petrol, that will show them".

Right now the Aussie dollar is fairly strong, a few weeks ago a weak aussie dollar was part of an excuse for the price of petrol, now it's doing nothing for us & it's not mentioned.

But you know what really grinds my gears? Not putting the clutch in fully. :)

i just pull up and dont even bother looking at price anymore or i would cry @ the price it is lately but its no use complaining coz the govt will never reduce the excise at its too much of a money spinner for them

So what your saying is that if you drive a nice car you SHOULD pay more for petrol - MORE for insurance - MORE for transfers / registration - MORE for excess.

So lets all drive around shit box's that will get yellowed - 6bucks every 5days - = 73 fillups a year - can you afford $440 a year wasted - some of the people can't there point is just because you have a nice car you should have to pay more....

my skyline is $10 more expensive than my 90 Nova Hatch to register...

and transfer is based on 3% of the total sale value plus stamp duty and some other fee...

insurance i can understand due to the car my age and full comp and the damage one can cause in it compared to the nova so no complaints there...

regardless of what we bitch about the fuel price wont change :ermm: and soon enough we will be paying $2.00p/l... it sucks but deal with it i guess...

and sammie... we all warned you about this. your still at school first car is a skyline congrats but youll find out the hard way...

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
