HEKT1K Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 In your case fair enough, but in terms of I.T stuff I've got co worker in same role as me, studied some uni computer science course for years only to end up with the same role/pay as me and owing $$,$$$ in hecs lol Depends on what you want to do, I.T is pretty much all hands on / experience. Sucks to be that guy. It's the cheapest loan you'll ever get though I just don't think about mine lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379859-vic-wasteland-thread/page/2321/#findComment-6923171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekin Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 So need to change mobile phone providers as I wont have reception once i move across. Have 6 months left of contract @ $60/month with free iphone 4s 6months * $60 = $360 remaining Called up to cancel contract; they say to end contract it will cost $280 termination fee + $100 handset payment = $380 To cancel early will cost me more than remaining with them for 6 months -__- They gave me an option to return the phone and have all fee's and handset costs waived. But then i'll be stuck with no phone... Could sign up for a new 24mnth contract and get an iphone 5 today but I heard the 5S is only a couple months away Or buy a cheap phone for $150-$200 until the 5S comes out Or pay $400 to keep my 4S and sell for $200 when the 5S comes out Thinking best option may be to pay the $400 and resell once the new 5S comes out Where is Aaron with his telecom connections?

TiTAN Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 i have an old n97 you can have if you pay for postage, its semi smart but painfully slow by modern standards. i just upgraded my SGS2 to a HTC one but would need to factory restore it and i think the samsungs locked to optus, nokia is unlocked.

If you escalate the complaint further and the ombudsman accepts it (which they will in this case), it will then cost them (telco) $500 (which is more than the termination fee) so for them it's now lose $300 or $500 If you don't believe me ask ay ay ron Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379859-vic-wasteland-thread/page/2321/#findComment-6923248 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Mum's manual Soarer has had some engine issues for a couple of years, since we rebuilt the engine. It was driveable, but ran gutless on and off boost, jolting all over the rev range under WOT etc. I always felt it was running overly rich. We had rebuilt the engine with random forged pistons and rebuilt the turbos too (after an incident involving flood waters). Got it dyno'd recently - 120rwkw and 5psi (stock is ~8psi) lol. Prolly wiring/sensor issues plus the forged pistons with god knows what compression, untuned. Soarers usually make at least 140-150rwkw stock. Greddy E-Manage + tune = instant 170rwkw @ 10psi. No exhaust, no cooler, just the ECU and boosted. COMPLETELY different car on and off boost. Has never felt this good since the day we bought it. 1JZ <3 again. inb4 Hamish still a Soarer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379859-vic-wasteland-thread/page/2321/#findComment-6923447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blah_blah Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Wasteland brahs quick advice As I dont know much about stretched tyres or stanceworks or hektik mexican poke and strech Bought some 9.5inch rims with Achilles 235 crappy tyres on them so lots of stretch. Need to run these temporarily before I can order some proper 265 tyres. Max psi for the tyre says 50psi. What psi should I have the tyres at to minimize chances of the rim rolling off the tyre? As when I went to the servo one tyre was on low psi and the rim actually came off the tyre 1/2 way I've put in 36 psi for now. Safe to go fast around corners with streched tyres or not really?
