just get a 5k SSS. if you want to mod, its cheap. service cheap. fuel efficient when you want it to be.

your 20k you save will be much more worthwhile in deposit than on car that will cost you more in service and insurance etc.

Right on cue

Birds is contemplating the universe via memes

Hamish works with idiots

Plattsys car doesn't work

Leesh and Ric are going to joust for a passenger headlight

Mohsen is always wrong about everything, but said something funny

Grant is instigating fights for his own amusement

Aaron is probably going to be the first one blown up when the invasion happens

Also I just ordered 48 dumplings to be delivered to work, we're hungry as hell here but can't be stuffed going out.

I get to come home tomorrow....

Choose my hours and work from home being a digital project manager / web developer. That might change next year though, I'll miss the freedom being able to go somewhere during the day and not having to let my boss know.

WA teachers are the highest paid in the country. Leesh has been doing it for 9 years so, although a solid income, for the experience and the hours put in it's kind of meager.

Should be much more, same with nursing and Ambo workers.

85k puts her in the top 20% income earners Australia and they get a large amount of holidays so really I don't think $85k is all that bad

I do agree however re nurses etc

part time retail, hours varying like a baws.

when i was full time living the intern lyf in summer tho, i was expected 9-5, but varied from like 8:30-6. that said, there was a guy that'd come in at 7, 7:30 and then bugger off at 3, 3:30. they were pretty flexible. so i'd say it'd depend on office.

but at this time i'd also work part time, nothing like 2 job same day hours.

edit: teaching 85K seems pretty solid. i remember my methods teacher in y11 told me he was making 75K i think... and he'd been working for decades. fuqdat. i'd sell out go private easy :P

dem holidays doe.

just had a quick squizz on carsales, 2011 wrx seems to be 25-30k. haven't been in one of those, only driven an 06. they're nice. but i don't know if you'll enjoy it coming from your v8 lol. just doesn't pull hard enough. although you're on boost... all the time. sti and evo different story but then again looks like you also want something newer (and accordingly new sti's or x's are more kesh money)

edit:

cray waffle i posted earlier aside, damn i could go for a steak right now.

dat delicious protein saus.

edit 2:

buy an a45 amg (only 3x the cost dw) ... dat frugality... and excellent for chasing ramen van's

I'll save Leesh attacking you lol

Living in WA puts her in the most expensive state for ongoing living expenses, it's all relative. There's a reason the FIFOs aren't saving that much money besides blowing it on coke and hookers.

Teacher work doesn't end when school holidays start either - popular misconception. They go into work all the time during holidays and spend a lot of their spare time marking work and planning lessons. Not just saying that cause my girlfriend is a teacher, but because I've seen first hand how much she works during the so called holidays; even has to bring work with her when she visits me. Not saying that I don't put in unpaid overtime in a non-teaching job, but it's a guaranteed necessity for teaching. That along with getting treated like ass by kids you can't even discipline or blame for most of the stuff they do. Can't stand up for yourself at all cause schools obsessed with pleasing parents these days and parents think their kids are fkin angel victims. You'd have to really love kids and wanting to make a difference to want to be a teacher!

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
