Hey guys, can you throw some ideas at me in terms of what I should try and ask for my Birthday. Nothing too unrealistic. I'm not really into ipods or game consoles or any fad like stuff. So what is out there that would be a good idea? Cause at the moment I was just thinking clothes, because, I don't really care that much. But parents and friends keep saying "naaaah" it's your 18th, needs to be something special.. So.. any ideas guys?

Hows ths HSC goin man?

Im half way through mine too..

My friends got me an amp and sub for the 32.. that was cool..

It's going pretty well, I wrote a list down trying to narrow down ideas and sub and amp are up there.

I think I got a diff for my 18th.

I also got a some really good quality towels which I didn't appreciate much at the time but I've still got them and most certainly do now.

A party to remember is always good, with people you didn't expect to be there like interstate friends etc.

What do you like doing?

Working on your car? Some good quality tools last a lifetime and don't go when you crash/sell your car. (like my diff)

Eating? Get a bbq or a nice thai girl. :D

Like art? An etching or high quality print framed nicely. Even if you only 'don't know art but know what you like' there is usually something out there to be found if you look.

Travel? A super quality globe that spins and lights up and stuff.

A guitar.

A coffee table that every visitor wants to take home with them.

That tools idea is pretty good.. I just had this super cheap auto one, screw driver snapped when I tried to unscrew one of the bolts holding down my air box..

Have the HSC on.. 2 exams after my birthday.. Can't drink or do much like getting messy.

That sucks, lucky mine was at the start of the, year. Theres a few of us here on SAU sitting the HSC.

As for your 18th, i to got sick of the question, what do you want, what do you want, but then again you have to think of it as, hey these ppl are wanting to shower me with gifts =) i should get annoyed.

Hmmm if you have a party most ppl (like not your close mates) will part with $30, so just ask for liquar land valchours, or repco or somthing, thats what i got, or better still.

Just ask for case's of beer, or bottles of spirts, it can never hurt to stock up, regardless if your going to be able to drink them in the next few weeks.

sky diving..

nah..Not just yet, because they say once you do that, everything else is pretty bleak.

mmm, thats what were thinking about getting for one of my friends..

we should have a post hsc cruise.. when do you guys finish?

9/11 yes.. nine eleven

I started a thread inteh NSW section so we don't spam this up, a Post HSC cruise will be cool. What will be even better we all cruise to each others post HSC parties =) wooooooooo formal and HSC after parties, i can't wait =)

SCHOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS :):D:D

Hookers and crack. Lots of crack.

Seriously though? About $700 of keg beers (you can rent them) then a BBQ with heaps of meat - then invite everyone you know and stop when the supplies are gone. You wont forget it

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
