  1. I don't have one but...seriously? How the hell can a product this dodgy hit the shelves? Seems like it's conspiracy time. Here goes...North Korea threatened South Korea with nukes unless they released a phone to the rest of the world that is essentially a bomb.
  2. Jeez mate you've been smoking it for half of your life. Be prepared to lose friends when you quit and don't be afraid to put your foot down, appropriately of course, if people tell you, "just chill out kuunt, have a bong". Those are the people that you gotta black list. It might be everyone you know. You will have everything back that you lost from smoking but it is a massive change. Do it. It will be worth it. Then post pics of your 600rwkw car in a couple of years!
  3. I think the blank part is there because cutting a thread isn't free and when millions are sold that little bit of time will add up. It's not needed to be threaded so why thread it?
  4. I'd suggest an independant review of the car to remove any bias. Keep us posted though!
  5. It's the first thing my younger two go for when I take them out. At least they'll grow out of it in a couple of years.
  6. Ya gotta get that snort down though! Everytime I try to snort that loudly I end up coughing my ring out
  7. https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/models Maybe it's not such a bad thing though?
  8. The kids love their suits hey?! My daughter has her cookie monster and tigger suits and they boys have their spiderman and george pig suits.
  9. What about these? http://gcg.com.au/petrol-performance/performance-3/studs-and-nuts/search?custom_parent_id=1&limitstart=0&custom_filters_-_studs_%26_nuts-_stud_thread=M10x1.5
  10. If you are going to mod it anyway then it makes sense to buy a modded car, providing it is in good nick. Would the owner be willing to take it to a mechanic get it checked out? You will be able to get a much better idea of general condition of the vehicle and also make certain that every nut and bolt hasn't stripped or rounded in some fashion by a backyard mechanic. I've had the misfortune to own a few cars and bikes like that. If it hasn't been thrashed and has been maintained then it won't matter that it has been turned up a bit. It's seems to be a common misconception that because a car makes huge power it will wear out in a linear fashion. General day to day driving is done sedately in the majority of cases and as such more power won't necessarily be detrimental to longevity to a significant degree. Remember to take into account the cost of potential repairs when making an offer. If you have to replace every single bush and suspension then you won't get much change, if any, from a few grand at most workshops. I did notice redbook suggests a slightly lower figure which is why I mentioned using it when negotiating. It can be a bitter pill to swallow when selling a modded car due to depreciation. A negotiation doesn't have to happen in one day. It can take place over a week so an owner can come to terms with this and is willing to sell at a price you are both happy with. You can check for disassembly marks around the dash or console area to determine if it has been apart at some stage. I try to be thorough when making large financial decisions hence the long post. If it's all legit then it seems like a good buy providing you are happy with the price.
  11. Have a look at these MBAF. They're a bit pricey and overkill for a fairly stock car but I'm sure they would hold some serious boost!
  12. Give it a few months and you'll feel normal again. Give it a few years and it'll be a distant memory. Just hang in there no matter how crazy or pissed off you feel. It will pass. It's not easy but you can do it if you can deal with the few months of crazy.
  13. We had our babies available as soon as they had been checked over. My wife could hold them even while she was being sewn back up. Unless there are complications I can't see any reason they won't let you have your baby straight away. They usually give a Oxytocin shot to help with bonding and milk production.
  14. I can see why you're pissed about it though especially when they told you the reason was because of your weight!
  15. I think the midwife is pulling ya leg. You clearly aren't too heavy for one hospital or the other. If you aren't high risk then they will send you to the one they are sending you to. You mustn't be high risk at this time. Like Ralph said it's about risk assessment. My wife was swapped the opposite way this time cos she is high risk. We had our son in the city and our daughter in the northern one and despite the screaming bogans in the general area of the hospital the maternity ward was nice.
  16. Fair enough then. Obviously you can produce cash to flash for this car which while practically irrelevant, plays to emotion, which is in your favour when it comes to negotiating. Here is just one of many websites on how to haggle. I picked it fairly indiscriminately. Mods on a car, especially a rare car, can be a double edged sword. They may actually lower a cars value due to previously mentioned reasons and can include accelerated wear and tear, legality/roadworthyness issues and the ability to insure the vehicle. Ask @k31th if it's a good idea to buy a modified car. Also check redbook. Of course this is an arbitrary comment but I'd start at 14k for haggling sake and see where I can go from there. I wouldn't go past 20k. I hope this helps despite it being just my opinion.
  17. Quitting huh amigo? I quit smoking about 6 years ago compadre. Pretty sure I swore once or twice about it too esse. Be a *beep* if you feel like it. It's not easy and it'll help you through it. Put your "ponerse como una fiera" into improving yourself so it's a win win. Good job hombre.
  18. Imho it's not stock so the "collectable for financial reasons" aren't there and for that price a a bought stock then built xr6t would be much faster. There was a built 550rwkw xr6t going recently for $25k or so.
  19. Gettin there gettin there.
  20. Loose turbo nutzz? I've had to tighten mine several times. Just my preference but I would drive around the issue until I could sort out the parts. I'd fit them myself and then get it tuned, thereby making the most of my tuning money so the hp per dollar ratio stays good.
