i lived in the liverpool area for 25 yrs...Cambelltown is a bit of a lottery, reaaly good in some places...total shithole in others....find out from locals where to be and not to be before making that move....but i would be moving a little closer toward sydney as Cambelltown is a bit of a travel..

Q: What does a girl from Campbelltown use for protection during sex?

A: A bus shelter

C-town isn't bad. You get bad apples in almost every area. Just chose what part of the C-town area wisely

I live in Narellan, haven't had any trouble with cars getting stolen or house broken into, haven't heard of any either. Lived here since i was a boy. Narellan is 5min south west of C'town. As people have said you get your bad spots and good spots, just don't go near Airds or Claymore!!!

Ok it seems as if the "cons" are well taken care of,

so now for the "pros".

Cost of living is quite acceptable.

There are no telegraph poles, all major electrical systems are underground.

Streets are wide and surfaces in very good condition.

Cost of a modest 3 bedroom house is under $400K.

Getting to and from the surrounding suburbs is quick and simple.

Travel time to Sydney is about 30 minutes on the M5, off peak.

Getting to the Hills districts is 20 minutes on the M7.

Council rates are cheap and the sanitation services are efficient.

Demographics are varied, with plenty of self employed businesses.

The ratio of good sorts is very high, must be something in the water.

No airport traffic.

Less polution, council has a policy about retainment of trees.

WSID and EC are close via the M7, as to is Wakefield park (well relatively speaking).

Et cetera, et cetera. :)

Airds? LOL!!!!!

I did some research on that a while ago, 2/3 bedroom townhouse in Airds for 75k. You seriously get what you pay for in Airds :)

Btw im not having a go at anyone, but yeah, Airds wouldnt be your first choice of location

If you are going to be renting initially, then i'd suggest the inner west. Unless rents have gone up significantly in the last couple of years it was the about the best cross between affordability/proximity to the city i found when i was younger. I found public transport to be really good in that area too, as you are at a bit of a fork in the road as far as trains go with 3 different lines running through the area so you are generally fairly close. Buses run everywhere. My last place had a bus stop out the front which went to newtown and glebe, and a train station 400m up the road if i wanted to go to the city. Cab ride was about 25 bucks to get me home at 2am :thanks: You are also generally travelling against the traffic in the morning which makes a huge difference.

But if you have friends over here then it's worth being at least reasonably close to them initially. Nothing worse than living close to the city but travelling out to the west every second weekend to go to the pub with your mates, but you can't drink because you have to drive home....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
