i wish, just rebuilding it to swap with the current one (which is eating, leaking and smoking out oil ).

while i have it apart i'll probably port and polish, but that's probably it. might look at light weight pulley's if funds permit. would love to put in high comp pistons, aggro cams and ECU but i'm trying to save enough to go to europe at the end of this year.

Um where did you hear that BS?? From the ATO website, it goes by when you did your tax return... and payments can take up to 5 weeks before you receive them...

since we're not allowed to spend it on debt repayment, hehehe, i've already spent $500 on a down payment for a flash new mobile phone and i'm hoping the rest will get me the BG SP front brakes installed that i've been sitting on for months and some QFM A1RM pads for both ends.

I'll use it to pay back what I borrowed from my parents for my uni fees, new front tyres, and maybe some new front driveshafts.

If I got it, I don't think I get much or any. due to my debts and situation. Definatly not due to my income. lucky last tax return was my lowest income in 4 years.

but if I had the choice - EASY

DRUGS - HOOKERS - ROCK AND ROLL.

Lol where did you hear THAT bs? From the ATO website:

"All cheque and EFT payments will be made using a post code selection process that is randomly generated, ensuring all post codes are evenly distributed to each state and territory each night (using the Australia Post predetermined percentage spread). For this reason and because of security concerns, we are not planning to publish a distribution schedule."

I don't know what your debts and situation are, but if you filed a tax return and you paid some tax last year, your income was less than $100,000, and you're an Australian resident, then you'll get the bonus.

I only pay the correct amount of TAX - As minimal as possible.

but what can you do.

I can't belive people still worry about Tv size.
Okay I use a 42inch LCD for a PC screen but 60inch plasma I have as main Tv - it's still not big enough.
seriously it is not. They never are big enough. It's a never ending cycle. It's like power figures not matter even if oyu can't get 800Hp to the ground even if it sends you spinning around and around. Once your use to it - you want.

but here is something to think about. Even if you have it all setup HD Digital Foxtel Tv- or similar - What the hell are you watching. I can't watcH free to air anymore. And even PayTV is **** - I pay an extra $22 for each extra box a month and yet, I find it's only for sport and Overseas news. The amount of **** on TV, you have to be stoned - high and pissed at the same time to watch it.

Wow, I thought Stoned and High were the same, what the hell do you smoke on the weekends Roddie...geez...

New Rattle Gun. Rachet Spanner Set, Large Multi Grips, A Better Oil Filter Tool, New Impact Sockets and then claim all that back on Tax in July,

Then save Tax money for Work Meisters or Enkei GTC-01 or TE37's

Or buy DEFI Advance Gauges...only time will tell....

..

Yeah all at once.

You get stoned-HIgh on the way to the Club - you rack up or pop on the way through the Door and you get trashed through out the night.

Trust me it takes 5 years off your life, you wake up in places in position and with pain in places you can't figure out but at least you have a smile on your face.
Then you Pop a pill and go to work.

Or you sometimes end up doing things because IT looked like it was good at the time. Or your thought it was good Idea.
