I'm fascinated by the whole ebay/earning a decent salary on there. Some of the legit ebay business's that submit earnings to the ATO etc that come up for sale are mind blowing.

Tough gig to get off the ground though

Not super tough, you just need the right product, and a little bit of research, I started up allocating $200 as startup capital, if I blew it, fair enough, if it self sustained...yey!

Did me well enough for a few years with the dash kits (well enough the ATO were very interested in me for a while), I sold ZPE in January to another forum member...so it opened up a few avenues with previous business models that got to the planning stage and never executed. I think Hannah and I have resigned to the fact that I generally don't like being managed by someone else, they normally have less insight than me and it just gets frustrating at their narrow minded inability to run a business. Plus why work your arse off to fill someone else's pockets!

Even the Lab business may end up being an interim one, I'm waiting to see how poorly the Pharmacy business goes with the 'Pharmacy Fiscal Cliff' at the end of this year, then swoop in and buy a PBS number when they're not worth spit and move on with a business model that we trialled at uni, which still doesn't exist in Australia. Our lecturer was very impressed and said if he was younger, he would have actually considered quitting his job and trying it out.

At that stage now. Gold lining the pockets of the business owners and not myself. It's f**king bull shit, oh the stories that I cannot post on here!

I have an aged Ebay account with perfect feedbacks, I should really do something with it haha

Damn straight mate. If I wasn't looking at the opportunity to move into Partnership here, I would start my own thing.

Haha shut up old man, yer would be about a 200k round trip so nah. Went to the one in Ipswich a while back wasnt to bad

Only reason you went was because I was already going down :yucky:

From me.

Who's Chris?

I'm Chris, I am a pretty big deal. I give him enough sh*t/spankings about his LS1 project for everyone on these forums who read what he writes about the abomination

I see, well I'm doing spanking first then Chris can go for his life

Can I get a spanking too? Nick said the your a good sort :wub:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
