I've changed my home loan from a std 25 year mortgage to a offset/equity loan. I bought the house 2.8years ago for $85,000 its now been valued by the bank at $110,000. I've got the loan down to $70,000 by paying a bit extra each fortnight for the lasy 2.8years, so I've taken a low offset/equity loan at $82,000. So I've got a bit of extra cash lying around incase I need it, but cos its an offset loan I should pay it off much quicker than the std 25 year loan. Its a bit confusing but I sat down and did the figures, going as I was the 25 year loan would be paid off in another 12 years with the new offset loan it'll be closer to 3-5 years depending on how frugal I am, quicker if my wife gets another job too :( Stupid education dept wont give her a job in the metro area :P So yeah, we want some french doors to open out onto our courtyard and I want to do more work on the car :)

Powerfc will set me back around $1700 delivered new with controller, then plus fitting and tuning. The autronics is $3500 drive in and out, but has boost control built in (if I want to sell the blitz sbc will make the install cheaper), traction control, serial port connection to a laptop with easy to use PC software so I can **** with maps when I know what I'm doing.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
