Looking to buy a property Birds?

Have been exploring for a couple of years but looking seriously now

Have moved from buying dream house to looking at rural land, but now looking at cheap (420k max) mid-sized land / old house or new small townhouse in deep south east, and smash the mortgage on two incomes building equity.

Boronia has some half decent properties for the 450k range

I'd say that's the problem with IT nerds... You actually convince yourselves that you need the latest program to send an email

More than just Outlook comes with the Office software, Skype for business is awesome etc.

Boronia is on my list of places that will see substantial capital growth as it enjoys the overflow from wantirna and bayswater over next few years.

It's being subdivided and apartment built like crazy. Just unfortunate there's a lot of dead shits in the area that won't fk off for another 5 years. The shops and cafes are very good.

Frankston is also pretty good for that price range, you should be able to buy 600+sq in which you could subdivide at a later stage. 

 

If you have more $$$ and happy to sit on rural land for a while until the urban growth zone is extended you could look at Deavon Meadows way. Only thing is it's high risk high reward... 

I'm looking for my third now

I've found the jap car scene to be mainly a bunch of wankers from the IT industry.

The turbo V8 guys are much more down to earth with less to prove. 

They are the ones who toot acknowledgement when beaten by my car, or will wave if they win.

Jap car = stare straight ahead and pretend nothing happened

Always described the jap scene as hoodies in a car park standing in a circle lol

Unless it's dirt cheap like $130k or less, I'm going to live in it for a year for capital gains and to remove rent from the equation while we smash the mortgage. Unfortunately Frankston a little far but won't rule it out. It's growing big that area. Cranbourne is about as far south as I'll go likely.

I was checking out property near and around Bendigo recently. Bendigo is HUGE these days, had not realised how big it is now. Like a small Geelong. Very cosmopolitan main streets and 600sqm is about $120k only 5 mins or so from city centre.

Jap car scene ok as long as you dont hangout with the facebook wanker groups. Croydon area has like minimum 3 cars per lot but i thought wantirna was ok?

 

Met the most bawler dude in japan today. Been running a whiskey bar in kamazawa for over 30 years. Most impressive booze collection ive ever seen. Direct whiskey contacts in scottland. Owns 2x toyota centuries. Primo bloke. Cooks a mean 50-day aged steak.

Has organised his whiskey selection by brand and by year.

26000 square meters here in a town I think I got in at the startish of rush. 

 

Property listed across the the road recently at 70% of what I paid for 600 square meters. Slightly closer to lake but also has estate fees ongoing

 

 

The US politics thread is aids so imma vent here:

f**king americans carrying on about the president. Was in a bar a few days ago and there was a book where you could leave messages to the owner. Americans and Australians writing friendly notes and praising the bartender but then add anti-trump crap at the end of the note. Wtf is wrong with people? Youre in holidays. In a different country. Calm your farm.
I'm sometimes on a different forum with mostly americans and man do they whinge. The way they carry on, its like this time period is worse than their national milestone, 9/11. I chuckle at the trump gag reels and they get their backs up "you wouldnt find it funny if it was your country. America is currently in a political apocalypse" f**k off flamin mongrel. Other countries have proper oppression and tyrannical regimes, civil wars, squalor, disease, coups, rebellions... But nooo trump is the worst thing to happen to the world since religion.

Perfect rant for the US thread^

Media have a heavy hand in convincing the democrats/liberals that Trump is the end of the world for them. Throw in echo chambers that ban political discourse and is it any wonder some of them snowball their fear up into thinking they are a Jews in Germany circa 1942...

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
