Probably a bit unfair majority of wealthy / celebrities donate a lot of time and money compared to the average person but their status / wealth is held against them as not doing enough.

Obviously some so nothing but these days most do quite a bit I mean I donate to certain causes but that's about the level of my contribution - also know as doing sweet Fark all who could honestly say they do that much?

I folded and bought GTA V on my way home today...

It's installing now, while I'm watching Under the Dome and sipping on a slab of Asahi that Laith bought for me last summer when I helped change his radiator...

s Asahi a manly enough drink? Or should I inject something into my body directly? Reverse Spinal Tap it perhaps...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

that would kill you... that is BOSS manly

Plenty of anonymous philanthropic millionaires/billionaires who donate heaps to causes and that's great...it just shits me when it takes someone to get that disease before they decide that that one is the disease worthy of more money for researching a cure. Celebrities do it all the time, starting foundations and poster childing for them...why not do something like this before something affects you. Otherwise I have to simply hope that more celebrities get more diseases? Which isn't a terribly nice mindset. Like I said, it's great that charities are finally getting money...just annoys me that someone important or wealthy had to suffer before attention was given to it.

I've personally seen nothing of breast cancer but donated plenty to that cause, plus some others that don't really affect me personally. It's just human nature that we're often not aware of something until we are personally affected - it's just sad, that's all.

Also lots of wealthy people donate money, but very few would donate proportionate to the average person (e.g. percentage of income), yet base cost of living technically would allow them to donate a higher percentage of what they earn than the average person and still live comfortable. People like Mark Zuckerberg are few and far between!

Asahi is good beer... but it's the in Japan stuff that you want!

this... and now we get it from the UK, Canada or Aust at different times but NEVER Japan unless you go to a specialty place

Brahs, need to do my 100,000k major service; timing belt, spark plugs, etc. possibly even coilpacks too. Any places you guys can recommend to me? I got quoted $1300 at Chasers today.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

other side of the coin is "whatever it takes to get them donating."

abhi, go to GT Hyper and get a quote.

i did mine there for a price i wont mention but lets just say it was less.

go for an RB30 waterpump and a gates racing timing belt. use genuine nissan parts for the rest. this will be the cheapest and best performing option

kudos do a kit, if you want everything, which i think was relatively well priced when i did mine (although i didn't get it from them in the end). i did oem waterpump as well as timing belt also fwiw.

coilpacks, if going oem, hit up amamiya... like literally half the price, but just gotta wait for shipping. i couldn't wait when mine were on the way out sadly... (was before i did my major anyway) but sounds like yours are still in good order in the mean time!

edit: also if as if mr chef says you go gt hyper, it's pretty local since it's in springy (and i think you said you're in rowville)

Haha yeah, ordering it whilst in Japan last year was the best :')

Had to play catchup for like 10 pages.

Alot of alcohol was mentioned, some good, most bad.

Bacardi 151 you say pat? Try spirytus... Makes 151 look like alcohol free wine

but this post won, 95% alcohol, and you can pretend its vodka and put it in a 375ml smirnoff flask, and have everyone do "vodka" shots.

OH YES, vodka shots.

[kaitoukid]

Never tried spirytus... I'm scared LOL

Someone bring it to WL House Party.

Last I heard it was to be had at Birds' house. AUTOBOTS, ASSEMBLE.

Granted. Probably Australia is lagging behind if you look at the USA nearly all celebs, sports stars even of average (by there comrades) standards have charities/foundations I spose not enough rich people here.

A lot of people are following the gates foundation but I guess the really good people do these things without fuss.

Thanks brahs, appreciate it! Yeah i'm in rowville so I'll give GT Hyper a buzz tomorrow morning. As much as i'd like to do a kit I don't have the time and also my car's sitting on 114***k's, bought it at 110 but didn't go by the guy I bought it off saying he did a service on it at 105 as I checked and had to top oil and coolant. Cheers again guys!

Try Sabbadin Automotive too...they did mine for quite cheap. Was like $500 with me supplying the parts.

[kaitoukid]

^I think they also have discount for SAU members.

So... give us the deets for your house party Birds

[r34abz]

^ Cheers dude shall look into it.
