Well i decided i would get myself a service done on the car before we head off on a bit of a trip.

$266.00... no problemo.

Then they tell me ill be needing new tyres (which i knew anyhow) aswell as brakes (which i also knew).

So to cut a long story short.

Instead of just getting a service.

I order 4 new Eagle F1 DS-G3's and some Bendix brakepads.

Tyres = $1400 and the brakes are to be done this week.

So with that im almost $2.2grand down the gurgler.. all for a "service" hahaha

Just thought id share my little spending spree.. Anyone done anything similiar? (no need to bring your e-penis out either please)

wow, what an expensive service. hehe... your set of Tyres are tops, $350 per corner. WOW.

speaking of which, my service is coming up too.. hmm..

Yeah i decided if i was going to buy a tyre.. It had to be a good one that gives me good cornering/braking and quietness all in one.

oh crap im gona be doing 7000kms round trip maybe more , im guessing you hooned a lot tho. so if i keep fuel average below 15 litres to the 100 and get fuel at less than a dollar i should be ok for less than a grand.

ahh - good stuff - just as long as you aint paying $600 for just new pads!!

rofl !!

Mitsu quoted $220 for 4 new pads and 300 for the labor..

Yes mitsubishi.. heres my ass.. care to lube me while you I take it in the ass?

I dont think so.. hehehe

BOuncin' BOoya,

5000km travelled and $2400 spent on fuel. It just doesnt add up. If you paid $1 per litre then you would have averaged around 2.1 km per litre. At $1.10 per litre that equates to 2182 litres used and an average of 2.3 km per litre. That kind of economy is what I would expect from a Mack Truck not a Magna no matter how hard its been driven.

You must live a sheltered life to think about stuff like that.

Can you have an e-vagina aswell?

I'm sure his "girlfriend" does :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

I'm an e-virgin! :lol:

What size are your tyres. I paid $984 a set for my 225/50 ZR16 F1 GS-D3.

ZR17's :) the ZR18s were $365

My 1400 include wheel alignment, warranty and some other crap. Worked out to be $319 for each tyre by itself without all the additional stuff they do.

You must live a sheltered life to think about stuff like that.

Yeah they're called porn sites!

ok - booya - it was NOT my fault your tyres were bald - i just kinda drove over the border - the tyres just happened to smoke while i was doing it - and trying the 0-100 - it was impossible to get a clean launch - remember i tried a few times ;) haha

and what are you talking about all these fuel costs - i paid for a good 4 or 5 tanks ;) haha

and yes - 2.1km/s to a L sounds about right for the booya!! it is shocking - ok -maybe not quite that bad - but a 300km tank was a good tanks - that is still only just 4km to the L!!!

haha i read about 10 forums occasionally, mostly spend my time on the aussiemagna forums though.

im a younger person (23-24 i think) and i've been on the net for around 8 years now, and modems/bbs way before that.

i was brought up from birth with a c64 then in 1987-8 the amiga (w00t! i love those things!) and lived on a game called boulderdash/emerald mine non stop. the ibms could never play games properly and put me off games for life.

boulderdash!!! :D

boulderdash!!! :D
wow! you know what boulderdash is/was! i envy you!

did you ever get to play emerald mine? it was the upgraded one for the amiga, saved scores and so fourth. then there was emerald mine aga (for amiga 1200/4000's with AGA graphics chips)

*big hugs for killybilly*

i even went as far as importing precision joysticks from the UK, there was the speedking and the navigator! expensive joysticks, then i learnt how to repair them etc etc.

wow! im, speechless!

heres the speedking - fits in your hand purfectly with the button underneath! i still have a few at mums house too!

navigator - this was gold. gave you blisters after a while, the best joysticks ever made!

Go the Amiga! I still have my A2000 and A1200 :D 8)

Oh... and about 3 C64s hehe.

My dad and I used to have an Emerald Mines competition - see who could get the furthest. I think he was winning, but only by a few levels!

sorry, more like 1400 on fuel, not counting manuals tank fills. which would of then added up to close to 1600. and yes. this thing of mine eats fuel more then we could drink water in a week!

a 'good' tank of fuel would last between 300 and 380km!

so a shocking fuel economy does add up quickly!
