Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I'm leaning towards the 33. So all I need to do now is save $20,000 and part the SS out for go fast bits money.

honestly should you do it, just fix the rust in boot of SS and get rid of it in one go.

No point having a carcass lying doing nothing

Then save and buy what you want

Plus the issue of it having no compliance or build plate and the paint being in average nick. Also I think you underestimate the extent of the rust...

Highflo, injectors pump tune etc, is what, 5K?

GTR is 20K, boost T and its making probably 30-50kw less, but has AWD, (more weight) and suspension will be stock, not adjustable. and for 20K you're not getting a pristine one unfortunately. Parts don't break any more than a GTS-t will, but when they do more money potentially, and upgrades do aswell. Twice the turbos, twice the diffs, etc.

End of the day look at how much your saving and how quickly, and if you're prepared to get a loan to get one.

Or, do HA and instrumentation courses and come work out here for pornstar money.

I know, this is why I'm not sure what I want. Would be starting from scratch again.

Yeah, dunno about the lifestyle tho :P

I was in the same dilemma, though i wasn't as far along with my old car at that stage. In the end though I figured everything i was doing I would just have to do again, so i traded up.

Buy this one? link

I know, I haven't really spent that much on mine yet.

If I had the money right now :P Perhaps I should go do $6,000 worth of courses and join you in butt f**k nowhere.

Its an interesting life for sure. Also, unfortunately, the work is starting to wrap up on this project at least, so there's no guarantee even if you do do the courses i'm afraid, pretty much every industry is like that now though.

But yeah (for the tradies), 10 hour days, work 20 days straight, travel, 6 days off, travel, work 20 days straight, repeat. Stay in camps literally in the middle of nowhere, but at least the rooms are decent, food is buffet, gym on site and the like. But yeah it gets lonely, you do get days off during the week to make up for it but most people are working on those days, which is good for going on drives or getting stuff done but not for keeping in touch with folks really. Honestly don't know how people with kids do it, but the financial rewards must be a good part of it.

all I hear is excuses :P

GTR for those who like parking them in garaghes...or rebuilding 26's

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
