Not that I'll have to pay stamp duty from July 1 anyway, but the stamp duty interest probably wouldn't bother us - we plan to hit a ~400k mortgage hard with two incomes and build as much equity and as soon as possible. Then look at perhaps a second place for similar cost. Figure this is a better approach interest wise than say taking on 800k over 30 years.

The deposit is the bitch. Want to stay in 88E for this drill but the money would sure be handy for a deposit.

yeah naturally as the rental return and tax deductions will offset the second loan as opposed to one non tax deductible mortgage on your principal place

Ants are alrigghtt, without them I'd be a loner at home.

Also found a little jumping spider trying to hide under my toilet seat as I walked in. It's like a jumanji at my joint.

All I've been getting is mosquitoes every now and then, it's why I sleep next to fly spray.   

wow, a supra that actually looks kinda good. slammed and dish with no hideous bodykit (minus the sideskirts) actually suits the obese jellybean look.

I don't HATE it... but I'm still upset by the reduction in function that comes with being that low. Like a supra is designed to go fast, and you simply can't get traction or stability with 2mm of travel in the suspension.

Got your entry to Broadford Greg. Will see you up there. You going to come and say Hi this time or not?

He said hi to me last time, but I think that was only because I walked past him as he was fixing his car...

air suspension, man.

Also after driving on Japanese roads, it is somewhat still practical to have a super low car. Can't park it in open air, small, paid car parks, but otherwise you could get around ok on weekends.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
