just got another new car

[eNOonMaI]

yay

one of my friends recently effed up his celica while driving up in somersby into a tree....

the whole front end was screwed but he replaced all the panels and had the engine fixed before he blew a head gasket.....

anywayz he went out and bought a silvia and said i could have the celica if i wanted to put some money into it.....

does anybody know about how much a head gasket for a '89 Toyota Celica cost???

actually just worked out this car might set me back further than i thought:

this is with NRMA,

Car Third Party Property Damage
Premium Estimate No. QTE570000019
Annual Amount

$417.45
$41.39

Sx Coupe 2.2 Litres

[AlCaTrAzz]

thats pretty cheap for insurance... considering ur a male under 25

[eNOonMaI]

cheap???/

no way...my excess is the part that really cripples me...its somethin like a $1grand

[sho3]

dude thats cheap I pay 1.5k for my silvia and 1.5k excess.

Head gasket should be around $300 but you will need to get the head machined and checked for cracks. should be around $800 all up if you find the right place

[PHOENIX_12]

yer 1.5k excess 2.9k per year insurance for me atm and i've had much worse quotes

[AlCaTrAzz]

im paying 1200 a year, excess 1500

[Dezza Bot]

yer sounds about right... cars are expensive motherf*ckers

[screech]

cory, you drive like a tool - stop complaining about how much your car costs you and be glad you can still drive.

[BR3TT]

Wreckers for head gasket.

On the topic of insurance

$800ish 3rd party for the rine.
$1,350 excess (i have to pay it aswell).

[Duckslayer]

Actually, he has to have blacks.

No V8's for P platers unless you already have Green P's.

[AlCaTrAzz]

Yeh GSXr are a awesome bike love the paint on em :D

[MaJ]

[/b]

He's right...I still think it's crap...Extending the time on plates won't do anything but make it more fun to break the rules...Soon you'll hear "Pffft, i was driving V8's as soon as i got my P's, screw waiting FOUR years!" instead of "Pffft, i was ... 3 years!!"...It doesn't do anything.

[Maxi]

Fingers crossed the fools who want to break the rules only kill themselves when they have an acco :)

I'm all for the idiots out there wiping themselves out, makes the roads safer for the rest of us.

How a P plater affords to run a V8 is beyond me anyways......oh thats right...mummy and daddy...

[blot0]

i think driving courses would be allot better for everyone rather then continuing to throw more years on how long they have to have there P's

[Dezza Bot]

<will insert Pics of new car here later today>
EDIT:It's not really new, but it is to me
EDIT2:CBF

[BR3TT]

I miss driving the GTST.

GTS does me proud though

Adding another year to P plate times is only going to increase that statistics for P platers in accidents. YAY, just another reason for P platers to be hated.

[Stealthy]

^ Amen!

im on my blacks anyway so it gives me a reason to hate something :D

Don't you wish the speed camera's did the same thing to your number plates as your flash/photoshop skillz?

[BR3TT]

Yeah I reckon.

When the guy took the pic the cops came and told us to leave.

So I don't know what happened but thats how my numberplate turned out :/

[blot0]

i saw a guy on the highway once coming back from Sydney late at night.

whenever our headlights would shine on his number plate, it went all shiney are you couldn't make it out.

but when light wasn't on it you could see it clear as day. very sus

[MaJ]

You can buy a spray paint to spray over your plate.

[LMo]

I read about stop flash a while ago (www.stopflash.com.au (http://www.stopflash.com.au)) apparently it's so effective, sales in Australia are so high they can't keep up with demand.

[blot0]

its also illegal isnt it?

[LMo]

Only in Tas....

[sho3]

speaking of L and P plates, Blot0 you off ya L's yet bro

[blot0]
