South

That is probably the most used drive in Perth, nothing to do, hit up the Hillarys to Fremantle cruise... and it's boring as bat poo these days. Back in the day it would take you the whole day, get caught up in clouds of smoke, drunken yobos and chicks galour at scabs, no smoke at cott but more drunkeness and chicks... Now its a 30min drive and ya done. Video reminds me why my money goes into the 4by instead of my 'turbs'

What about shocks only? To WA?

Brembos on the steet aren't going to be of great benefit over the factory fitted brakes, especially for a car doing moderately low speeds. I have 4 pots all around and for normal stop start there is no difference to what I had with factory brakes. If I brake hard there is a marginal improvement, if its continous hard braking (race track) then there is a significant improvement. Pads and Rotors cost significantly more aswell, they don't last any longer, usually less. So you have increased your running costs with larger brakes and larger tyres...

I would spend coin on the EL instead of 'upgrading'... different if you were going to an XR6t... but the EL with good suspension, tyres and a bit of a tickled engine will be much nicer to drive than the BA. Unless ofcourse your EL is clapped out and will cost 10-15k to tidy up...

Was going to say that too, clearly that rod has super heated and distorted and then gone kaboom.

I enjoy all the realty lifestyle shows Coal Black Gold Gold Rush Alaska Flying Wild Alaska Ice Pilots NWT Ice Road Truckers They are all becoming main stream now though, makes my job look easy for what labourers have to do.

I drove one during the week, was ready to off load the XR6t then and there. Short 6 speed with plenty of torque makes it feel more powerful than it is. Very comfortable front seats, gear stick was in a crap spot but I'm 6'4 with long arms. Looks to have a massive boot also. XR5 is 9k-14k cheaper depending on the spec level, so they are in a different category I would say...

If you can't afford the couple of K for the LMI, how you going to afford random issues with your house, A/C dies, Hot Water System dies etc. Good to have parents that help, but it's good to give back by letting them be. If you miss a payment, its on them... Oh well, such is life ey

Don't think so, the millions will be long gone before that happens!!! I will return the favour to my family, not passing on sh*t! Buy what they need, support them with an education and if they come begging help, otherwise leave me in peace If you need a guarantor for any loan, you can't afford whatever it is your buying.

I would recommend against using parents as guarantor, they have done enough in life to support themselves and family. Stand on your own two feet and let them live the rest of their lives in peace. If they do and you stuff up, then they are in the poo
