Yeah says hi boost setting 460kws maybe that's engine KW? not sure but I'd be wanting full proof and receipts with that car 
Guy I've got on facebook just got an 07' Supercharged Lotus I think it cost him about 60k 
Looks cool but wouldn't be very practical hah


He isnt tall then? For a laugh one of the nsw guys tried to get one of the taller members into his exige, he could almost drive it looking over the top of the windscreen, if his knees weren't in the way of turning the wheel.

Can't hate the Swift Sport; weighs under a ton with a 1.4 turbo

Interested to see how that drives and responds to light tuning. Would surely handle very well.

Japan are into them already, HKS does some gear for the new Swift 

Going to help my brother sell his S2 r33 gtst

What's it worth? basically suites a drift car / track car now as rego expired and has been sitting the last 5 years+ in the weather. 
Owned it for like 10 years now. 

Interior is spotless funnily enough, body is straight although has some surface rust spots now.

Has advan forged wheels, and the usual GTST mods for the 300kw combo

The bad things:

No turbo or manifold on it or exhaust, comes with all the stuff on the side though.
Doesn't run but will roll, probably not much to get it going, i think he was only changing the turbo until he lost interest, fast forward till now looks like a barn find. 

I'm thinking like 5k?

PJ gold rich thank you very much.

 

but on a more serious note I've never smoked so not really aware of pricing.

Mate asked me to pick him up a packet on the way to his place the other day, 

30 pack of PJ gold rich (thus why i knew they were a thing)

 

From BWS $45

seriously WTF when did that happen.

Yea ive been seeing people not get change from $50 a safeway for smokes... If thats not enough reason to quit...

 

Not sure if applies to ciggies too but tax on cigars going to 17% + gst

Spend 20k on it

You've seen it in it's glory days, sad to see it rusting in areas of the paint :(

I reckon he's put 40k into it easy including buying.. lots of goodies on it, tempted to buy it off him but then once it's fixed opens another issue of storage / rego / insurance etc. $$

Wow thats insane, a pack a day smoker = $16,000 a year 

I guess this is why people don't smoke much these days? not the whole 'unhealthy' thing, more the cost?

yeah and it seems to be working.

 

the few friends I have who still smoke are also the ones on the lowest income.

All are trying to give up, so the idea works but I was still shocked.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
