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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
