We're paying a bit to cover our food / elec costs but thats about it. 

It's okay, but the plan was to always move out again after 6 months (for our sanity)

lol you'll get it running reverse out the driveway and cop a defect from a car watching you

All the friends and colleagues who told me to grow up / stop spending money on a "depreciating asset" and sell it, are now onto their 5th cars since...consisting mostly of heavily-financed Tritons and Hiluxes which they cut their losses on every 3 years with a trade in, or VWs that require a safe word as part of vehicle ownership.

Could sell that thing for what I paid for it...

I reckon I'd be up between 10-15k on mods...so maybe $1300 a year/10 years, which I can accept. But I'd also argue that none of those were necessary to maintain the vehicle.

Where I'd lose out is fuel economy, albeit negated by low distance travel for work etc. You can really bend life and expenses in your favour if you set up all these things well and tight ass it. Cars and food. Certainly enjoy both though and would have had no problems taking the vehicle depreciation.

Subinats was good fun at the island yesterday. Did a 2.03 without 'try harding' it too much to smash my daily up. 

Came home late last night, in the rain decided to leave sponsor stickers all over the car and take them off Monday..

Nek minit Monday morning some f**kers tried to get into the car, smashed the lock and scratched the shit out of the door.. fml

Was it the 'racecar' like stickers? or was it going to happen anyway? car left on the street because i'm at the parents place (it has been since I moved back home)

I'd like to avoid insurance but if the door needs to be resprayed ? 

On the bright side at least I still have the car and they didn't get in, they got into the Mrs Focus ST without any damage what so ever.. all her shit was rummaged through inside the car 

They avoided the rusted, unlocked R33 GTST on the side of the house too

stickers attract dicks...

take them off prior to insurance claim as well ;)

Took them off at lunch time as I was always going to, police reckon it was targeted and planned nothing else in the area. 

Goddamn, that sucks.

The fact the skyline was untouched is really bizarre. Maybe too close to the house.

 

What would they be expecting to find in the focus?? Reckon it's from social media exposure?

I think they were wanting a joy ride, could probably tell by looking at the skyline it doesn't move.

Focus I think they tried to get in to start it and go after they couldnt get in mine, oh well shit happens.

Not necessarily required for maintenance, but without the mods would you have kept the car as long as you have?

I'm guessing no.

I can't think of a reason I'd have had to sell it...

It wouldn't have been the fastest thing in Victoria without the mods.

 

It could have, I just wouldn't have been able to take on as many opponents as I did to remain undefeated

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
