But it has to appreciate to double its original value to cover the interest assuming you are just paying the minimum monthly with principal and interest.

As in over the 25/30 year loan period? historically haven't they been doubling every 10 years anyway?

You can only double every 10 years for so long until it's completely unaffordable for 90% of the market.

If all the places that are currently asking 1 million are suddenly asking 2 million you are looking at 10k a month for the repayments and a 200k deposit.

I thought this was VWL, 200k is pocket money m8 

Seriously though, yeah I see what you're saying has to stop somewhere but we keep hearing that for how long now? Do people need to wait 10? 20? 30 years for this crash then another 5 for it to become affordable to them?

The 10% of the market who could afford in that scenario are pretty much the ones who have been driving it up in the first place. They have disproportionately expansive wealth compared to the rest. I agree it will slow down eventually, but for other variables, like a downtrend in foreign investment. I think majority market affordability will have little to do with it, without government intervention.

Also the more Melbourne sprawls, the more inner suburban properties will push up by virtue of comparison. I think it's gonna take a recession or a serious drop off in the rentals market to stop this train.

As for rentals, there's good reasons to rent, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's financially better over the long term than paying a mortgage, unless your interest is more than a month's rent for the same kind of place (unlikely). You might waste a lot of money on interest but you end up with an asset or at least a redeemable share in an asset.

Find me a property that hasn't doubled in the last 30 years.... I'll wait here

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
