Some of the things people ask in the forums are sometimes just ...

Q/ So I got 5 months left till my 8 year warranty is up on my turbos and I'm grateful they are in perfect condition but I'd definitely like some fresh new ones is there anything I can do if my wastegate was to rattle I guess speed up the process?

A/ open up intake and throw some metal bearings in and enjoy??

Heres another

Q/ This morning I started and warmed up the car like I normally do. Just when i put it in D and about to drive off I felt the vibration (jerking back and forth) and poop poop noise (sounds like it's about to stall). This is my second time experiencing this. Does anyone know what this is about?

A/ Vibrating before pooping is not normal.

Mate if you watch enough porn, you'll eventually come across vibrating, jerking back and forth and poop pooping in one scene

My hope is that with the close of local production that the import duties associated with international cars is lessened and therefore prices will go down as we don't have a local market to protect.

^ me too then I'd be rolling in a GTR or Gallardo not a 335

They will find another name to tax imports so they can keep taxes like the luxury car tax.

If the government has successfully introduced a tax and are gaining a steady revenue stream from it - they're not going to give it up without a fight.

Sad but true

They'd need a solid excuse cause Wheels and Motor magazines (and therefore a lot of the public) would be all over them if they chose to keep it without a valid reason.

To make it worse, the Government are now talking about getting rid of or reducing the $1,000 exemption on the import duty tax on goods from overseas. That will end the parts from the US if the value of the Aussie $ also continues to drop.

Yea I heard that too... Soon we'll be buying black market car parts... "contraband" dual cone filters, mufflers and downpipes.

We'll have to get them shipped to NZ, and transport them across on bamboo rafts disguised as refugee boats.

Oh, the thug life in Australia.
