Hi Paul and Stacey,

I was just re-reading your article in one of my old AutoSalon Mag's ;)

The only real racetrack is Wanneroo, which is 30mins north of the City, with a few nice suburbs relatively close, Ellenbrook, The Vale, The Vines etc. There a few existing workshops in the area, HyperDrive, OvaBoost.

If you want any advice feel free to give me a buzz. 0422 972 195

Stay tuned for an update on the car and another full feature in next months HPI magazine.

What about Drag strips??

Drag Strips there is Kwinana (lets put it this way - racetrack is way up north ..... drag strip is way down south) - and the closest suburb to that is Rockingham which is WA's capital of preganent 15 year olds.

The Kwinana Motorplex is an excellent facility, www.motorplex.com.au, but I wouldn't personally want to live down that way. We should have two official Sports Compact events each year, stay tuned for details to be announced soon. There are weekly Wednesday night runs, plus monthly Friday nights for ANDRA members.

BTW, way up north is only 30mins drive from the city, and way down south is only a 30mins drive from the city, women are prone to exageration :P

um how long does it take from us to get from my house to your house mister - 45 mins? and that isn't even as far up as the track or as low down as the drag strip.

Anyway around fremantle is nice just depends on your budjet - cna be a bit costly anywhere that's near water.

Best way is to come over here - have a looka round and you'll get a feel for where you want to be.

Thanks for the feedback Paul, was looking to find out where are the better suburbs in close to the city,cafe's, eateries, nightlife, sporting venues.....looked on the net and Subiaco and Burswood look the goods...as does Victoria park and Como.

Am i on the money here or is there some places you locals know about that are up and coming hotspots?

Stace has had a job offer in Freemantle and I do not have any hassles transferring over there for my work.

Mirkop/ wrecked head / always me etc

You really are a tosser aren't you ??

Dirt garage , Subi is good but a bit pricey , try looking at Vic Park/Burswood near the Causeway or Rivervale.

Mind you if you are going to work in Freo, the daily drive is a pain from any of those areas.

Mt Lawley is another good area, close to the city, nightlife, eateries etc.

IMHO, your best option is to pop over for a quick look around, and visit some of the suburbs. The area's closer to the city tend to have older houses and are more expensive, some of the suburbs further out are newer, bigger houses etc.

Give us some idea of what your work will be, and we may be able to provide better advice.

Im an electrician and work with a large communications firm,travel does not bother me as they supply me with a company vehicle,they said ill work in the city/south of the city mostly. Stacey works in Local Government and she will be based in Freemantle.

Looking at spending $500,000-$700,000 on house/appartment (must have garageing).....but buying a cheaper older house does not phase us as we have done some great renovations in the past.

Will be looking at coming over soon to check thing out for ourselves.

Why do ppl who live in the northern burbs always feel the need to bag the southern burbs???? Some kinda complex issues?

Perth is Perth north or south they both have their good and questionable areas.

Freo is a bit pricey if you ask me. try lookin at the suburbs just around freo like

Melville, Palmyra, Bicton, Attadale, Booragoon and Winthrop

These suburbs area closer to the strip rather than the track.

Hope you find a house in an area that is to your liking.

Cheers

Thanks impul.....will check those out too....As the tight arse government department she will be working for do not supply a vehicle for her over there, will have to look at places close to transport to Freo or near Freo.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
