mate, if you can:

stay away from mirrabooka, girrawheen, nangebub, in the north, stay away from forestville/field in the east, south = stay away from armadale and canningvale, but the west is good, if you got the cash; go to applecross, or como or around garden city shopping centre is nice :P it all comes down to price range (perth is like the dearest place to buy full stop)

Forget Lockridge.........cheap for a good reason as explained above. I had a house in Beldon for a few years, that place was OK, dunno about now though. Clowns all over the place these days. Good luck with the house hunting anyway.

Cheers GW

Fkn LOL @ telling someone considering Lockeridge, that armadale is dodgy :laugh:

I have been living on the armadale line, on and off, for over 20 years, and have never had a problem. Never been bailed up on the train stations, never even had a reason to call the cops for anything.

That's cause you're the one doing all the break and enters ;)

cheers for the info, yeah its hard to decide, it seems only now i realise how little i know about suburbs.

my price range is only round 300-400k, so nothing too spectacular

its funny coz when i ask my mates etc it seems everyone has something bad to say about everywhere! :P

well, there IS that.......

But yeah, every suburb has its own issues. Best tip I can give, is that if you find a place you like the look of, go back a few times, at different times of the day and night, and on different days of the week (such as pension day, about 7pm) You will soon see any warning signs.

Price will be inversley proportional to how dodgy an area it, more dodgy = cheaper :D

not always true we have afew areas down here full of CUBs = costs a fortune but feels like living in rockingham

Dalkeith is considered to be the best "Rich" man subrub amongest the Chinese family friends I know...

But take it with a grain of salt as it is they are the same people that think a BMW 318i/Merc C180 is the same as a 7 series or S-class... :whistling:

My parents bought a block of land in a subrub called Jindalee (way up north, freeway ends before reaching there) & it looks pretty decent with all new houses & I've being driving there a couple of times at night/evening & didn't see any little shitheads runing around like I see in my current subrub.

note to self:

Territory Borders:

Dalkeith = Chinese

Beechborro = Vietnamese

Beckenham = Lebonese

ese is the word

so far no one has said anything bad about Ellenbrook which is good as thats probably what im leaning towards atm :)

I went over to the ellenbrook shopping centre opening (had some business there). I thought it was a really nice suburb, till I went back the next day to find a stolen/dumped car in the main carpark with light pole toppled over. I didn't believe the locals till I saw it for myself.

But I'm from the east, what would I know!

But as the other guys say - budget dictates location. Building is usually cheaper than buying established, but it takes time. Maybe the 'predicted' GFC will shake things up...

Yeah, I'd stay away from Lockridge or Balga/Westminster. Most suburbs have their good and bad, just need to try to pick the area of each suburb. I've heard lots of bad problems about Armadale, but lived there for 6 months and didn't have a single problem, only moved because I was working in Joondalup. Caught the train to and from work for about half of that time while I didn't have a license and didn't have a single problem. Have heard dodgy things about Bassendean too, but at least the street I live on is quiet, except for the occasional douchebag deciding they need to floor it out of the slow point outside my house.

    • 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.
