campbelltown is a shithole, there are plenty of better places to live that are closer to the city..

heh, you should probably visit before making sweeping statements. The area is huge with the majority of the population being young families. A large proportion of residential development in sydney in the last 20 years has been out here.

Nothing wrong with it, property is very well priced lots of new housing around the place rather than 40 year old houses/blocks of units in the inner suburbs.

Close to oran park, though in 3 years that will have likely been closed and developed, easy drive to wakefield park.

Travel to the city is a bitch if you drive as the M5 is backed up from about 6am, trains are accessable though.

I just bought a 7 year old house on an 880m2 block for under 400k. You can't do that anywhere else in sydney.

Ive lived near ctown nearly all of my life. And have never had a problem. U will find it if you want it though.. Public transport is easily accessable and to drive anywhere is relitvly quick. It is kind of like central for access to sydney city, wollongong and the blue mountains.

alot of areas in sydney have dole bludgers n teeny bopper's popping babies out....not just campbelltown.....there are better places to live in sydney eg bondi...but not everyone was brought up with a silverspoon. good n bad in every suburb so making generalisations cause of certain areas that are bad doesnt make it ALL bad.

Altho it does share its numbers of smakies around tho, but since the gov likes to give our hard earned money away in taxes so easierly.....makes you want to go on the dole!:P

Campbelltown isnt that bad just the all the bludgers etc come from other suburbs to live

haha

Seriously it isnt that bad a place to live..surrounding areas like camden, harrington park denham court, st andrews etc is probably nicer place to live

ive been in glenfield and mac fields for more than 20 years and its the only place i feel comfortable in. i dont know anyone on the dole, i dont get mugged every day and i catch a train to the city in 35min. why would you live anywhere else? especially if you own a skyline, you need somewhere with access to roads that are actually fun to drive, unless your a poser who is an inch of the ground cruising for chicks.

I have lived on both sides of sydney and find them relatively the same :)

Depends how close you want to be to the city and if you like open space??

Campbelltown is nice, im in the good part and its relatively modern..all new housing estates are going up and its cheaper liveing out here and the M5 is pretty good most days just gets a bit backed up if there is an accident :O

Campbelltown is misunderstood, everywhere there is good and bad!!

It all depends on the lifestyle you are use too..

Let us know if and when you plan on moving will come and say hi :)

      This is why I can't afford a Porsche 911 or a new M3. Farken. Will hopefully provide me with a bit more  braking capacity at SMSP. Going from a 324mm to a 354mm rotor will also help dissipate heaps of heat. Not mention, the rears will also be upgraded to balance the brake bias. Believe it or not, with just only front Brembos and the rear OEM Sumitomo, I can actually feel the brake bias towards the back, hence trail braking into turns I could feel the rear end being unsettled. Hopefully if my broscience serves me correctly, I should resolve the brake bias by upgrading both front and rear calipers.

      I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?

      Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
