speaking of illegal activity... yesterday's car meet at carribean gardens: so many p-players driving turbo cars. turbo civic, stock 2JZ supra, A45 AMG, VW R36.

not sure if borrowing parents cars or just not giving 2 ducks

Column A and Column B.

Was the A45 red with ricey black features? Looking more like a Civic Type R?

R36 isn't turbo, but not sure if P player friendly. Think it might be just over the limit. Certainly faster than a lot of not P plater friendly cars.

This is not correct anymore..

You can drive it for 90 days a year, as long as you have a logbook

Which pretty much means you fill out the logbook before you go, except the date field.

Get pulled over? Write date down quickly, and then you're good to go.

Mate with Club reg BMW has actually been asked exactly 0 times for his logbook the 4-5 times that's been pulled over/through a booze bus etc.

You'd be quite lucky to work 90 days a year and still get paid for the full year.

A45 was white, no mods. 2 guys got out looking particularly wanky.

on that note: didnt see any 34GTRs and thought that was odd. nek minnit 3 rock up. must have slept in after a long night doing prinny runs since one had unburnt fuel covering half of the rear end of the car. must have recently bought it :P

What's the retail on an A45?

Very slight chance he may have acquired it himself on the basis he worked full time straight after highschool and is towards the end of his P Plates.

What sort of income levels does Mercedes require before you can finance one? inb4Aaron

Other 99% chance is via parents

That's my guess

Or.... you'd be unlucky to get your logbook checked 91 times a year...

Or you might get a cop who just complies with the rules and takes off your club reg when he sees your a dodgey that doesn't fill it out :P

$74990 plus on roads I think

I'm not sure of the credit side lol I only deal with them when they fail

They aren't that hard to acquire though. Going by the amount of young people getting around in Euro/luxury cars lately

Say the finance is 4 years

Plus say interest of 10% would bring total to $105,000

Thats repayments of $2,188 a month or $547 a week. That's still alot of cash for a teen in addition to what they already spend

I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

prob on the 2% rate for 24 or 36 months. big deposit and then sell back for a loss.

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Maybe I should have remained single, stayed with my parents and financed a Gallardo....

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
