On the subject of e-bikes.

Surely they're expensive as everyone first looked, although there's a couple of benefits - no licence and registration is needed until the government decides it is needed which won't happen I reckon as it's still a "bicycle"

No license, insurance or fuel/maintenance costs. Although $4k upfront I wouldn't think there would be much running costs after this. Just plug & play.

So finished moving house over the last 2 weekends.. f**k doing that again for a while!! 

Hired a truck for the big main shit in the end, man those things are stressful to drive with the height, visibility etc. was close to taking out the gutters on my house didn't realise it was so tall. They are also SLOW AF flat foot and you barely make lights and normal cars pull away lel. 

Ebike vs motorbike the decision is simple, if you are just using it for work commute <10km without freeways / high speed needed then Ebike all the way. Motorbike if high speed and you plan on riding through the hills on the weekends and making a hobby out of it & joining the community. Don't forget 1k at least for semi decent gear.

Yep, upfront costs are quite high, same with current corp of electric cars.

It'll get cheaper over time or if you're prepared to go s/hand.

Why V-town? Pretty close to your folks now. You can go yabbying in the dell. Will swing past next time I visit the olds.

Loving my freeway access in the south east though. Aaron/Sunkist and I just realised we live 2-3 mins from each other  now - car working bees coming right up.

I thought my double was small - is that a 5.5 x 6 and your car just takes up a shitload of it?

Yeah really close to your folks let me know when you are around, we chose V-town because closer to work basically & near the freeway. 

Nah it's actually a pretty decent size it's just my car is parked way over in the middle of it so doesn't look it. there's a fair bit of space in front of my car with a work bench too, my cars 5 meters long don't forget (nohomo)

That photo is basically taken from the kitchen.

I like Finnegan from roadkills garage, the whole bottom level of his house is garage/workshop/storage space. Would be hard to get that approved by the council though I would think.

Dad got a pit built into his garage when they built their place in 1990 still works awesome for low cars / oil changes etc

Monash and the south gippy, but not far from eastlink either.

Basically I can get anywhere reasonably quickly. Except the city. But on a good traffic day that would still be only ~40 mins.

Protip for garage kitchen access...get a storage tub from bunnings and put it just inside the garage near kitchen door. So handy to throw bottles/cardboard/paper/fingernails into.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
