Ciaran Thooperrrrrrr Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 12y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: NOR, Western Australia Posted 26/05/15 01:17 PM Share Posted 26/05/15 01:17 PM Young kid in my TAFE class just bought an 08 G6ET yesterday, I asked him who he insured with and he said he couldn't get comprehensive because it was too expensive (around $4000) so just got 3rd party.I don't understand why you buy a car you can't insure? Wasn't any telling him otherwise either, he's just one of those impulsive mislead teens.On the other hand, the car is sweet, has been a LONG time since I've been in a T so was good to feel that boost again.Getting me excited for when I get one, slab was poured this morning so another 6 or so months to go and I should be ready to buy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one kid who had a ve clubsport. It cost him 50 something grand and the repayments were 400 a week and he was earning 500 a week. Broke as f*ckOh and another one who had a cammed ve ss, sold it bought an 08 or 09 fpv gt, sold that and bought a 600hp ss and a 700+rwhp GTO hsvCrazy kids Edited 26/05/15 01:33 PM by Lennox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for a mate of his in the class he'd have failed since he copies everything and just doesn't understand things.Has had a few resits and sit down with lecturers to try explain how things work but he's just not with it.Frustrates me that he has such a nice car haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get paid decent wage, $27.30 an hour for an apprentice is not bad at all, and its tradie rates when I go to site (which is quite often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mods sliding ohh so far back), decided to check it out when I got home. '10 model, but looks like new. my guess is the owner bought it from new, rode it 3 or 4 times, crashed, didnt ride again..... at a guess anyways, reasons being - 1. bent bars - owner must have had an off and not known how to fix it. new bars and loosen the fork mounts, straighten it up, all good2a. just changed the oil. dropped 2.5L out of it. manual says it needs 1.1L. so... yup.2b. this was the oil filtersigns of a new motor.... plus a little more.... :/3. has a misfire. checked the plug. had a NGK D8EA in it. Bike requires a DR8EA. for those unsure of the letters, the R stands for Resistor type. Changed it out with the correct type, still has a miss. Next job is to replace the coil pack, as the non-resistor type plug has probably burnt it out. will find out thursday if its fixed it. So that's been the start to my week.....on a completely unrelated note, washing my engine bay the other day and this piece bounced out the bottom... anyone have any ideas?

That is the so called "cover" for the windscreen wiper base. It is where you take the bolt out to remove the complete arm assembly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
