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

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
