project.r.racing · 06-04-2009, 09:14 AM

So our $900 is being passed onto us today, (finally.) So just curious who is gonna spend it on what?

I have no debts so:-

$250 - 80mm-450mm 2500kg alloy car jack.
$30 - In car fire extringisher.
$20 - Toy box for Jett.

Still got $600 left...

When's it supposed to go through???

bourbon · 06-04-2009, 01:49 PM

today..they are doing it randomly over the next 2 weeks...so someone with a last name starting with Z could get it before a name starting with A

derb · 06-04-2009, 02:22 PM

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.

mussing · 06-04-2009, 02:52 PM

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.

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...

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.

rodhog · 06-04-2009, 11:21 PM

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.

DavoAust · 06-04-2009, 11:36 PM

were in the same boats as you! haha were saving for full leather couches and also big screen tv and surround sound

Dogo · 07-04-2009, 02:33 PM

Me too but I set aside 10k from the deposit for furniture, whitegoods etc.

My settlement is in under 2 weeks but I won't be moving until late May
The previous owner is building and their place isn't ready on time so they're renting it for 5 weeks.

I bought a big TV before the house because I knew that when I was moving in I wouldnt be able to justify the "better model"
