  1. My partner has a severe dust allergy, as well as a mild cat allergy. Her allergies were to the point that just sitting in her house, I've had to guide her around the house as she just can't see. She got in to see a specialist around May of this year, and they have turned everything around dramatically. While she now does take allergy meds morning and night, they've also had her on drops, which she takes morning and night. The purpose of the drops is to actually build her body up to being used to the dust/cats - One of the reasons she needs to be on allergy medication day and night (She takes a tablet in the morning, and a nasal spray morning and night). The drops she is meant to be on for 18 to 24 months before it will be in full effect, BUT we've both noticed, even if she forgets to take her allergy meds these days her reactions are now 1/10th the severity. Getting to the specialist, and doing the tests is a must do in my opinion. Also the drops aren't overly expensive and you don't need to see the specialist every month (Her current appointment gap is 5 months), if you need more drops (Which a bottle lasts 2 months), you call up, and they send a bottle to you. (Well her specialist does) and the drops work out at just on $1 per day... Unfortunately her specialist is in Sydney and might be a bit far for you to travel.
  2. He could spell it Matthew too...
  3. Electrical ones... Lol
  4. Have they fixed the issue of the golf autos eating themselves like they used to?
  5. You'll most likely find that as your BC uses a ball and spring, its boosting, spring opens you reach boost. you shift, boost source drops, sprig closes the ball shut but traps pressurised air between the BC and wastegate actuator forcing the actuator to stay open, hence slow to get back on boost. check the boost controller, after the ball/spring setup is there a small hole for air to bleed back out of? If not, there is your problem
  6. Thai darts... Also very different...
  7. Now that's one hell of a line up!!!
  8. You people and no love for a g-clamp/multi grips!
  9. That's actually a pretty decent save in my eyes!
  10. What is this tysons site?
  11. Even with a power hole, still does a wicked skid
  12. where was said half cage from?
  13. In all honesty it was probably close to making a legit 200 - 210RWKW. If they did push fuel pressure up and really did make 230RWKW (Would likely want more boost though to do so) then you would have had a region where the AFM hit maximum, and a hell of a lot of fuel gets dumped in, your AFRs would drop lower, and by the time you reach redline you'd be at your wanted AFR
  14. 230KW is also out of AFM and I believe also injector duty, without dramatically raising the fuel pressure.
  15. Yep, stock ECU kills the midrange, but leaves the last 500RPM to make good peak power figure. But it's hugely noticeable on the road, and even more so when its graphed on the dyno how bad the mid range is.

    I wasn't meaning to do it speeding, the first time up and over that mountain it can still be quick enough at 60KM/H (ANd keeping to your side of the road) that you hold your breath in a couple of places. Can't wait to do it at speed legally one day

    Go do laps of the mountain Genelle, and then do some backwards!
  18. I'm talking all the hills on the F6 from Wollongong to Sydney, not just climbing Mt Ousley.on the BA manual, beware of redbook, not all of its figures are accurate. From memory when i was researching all manual ba-fg xr6t had a 1600kg towing limit. Clutch and box don't like the strain. also, i much prefer the having a lot heavier tow vehicle, just imagine what its like pulling up a 2.3t trailer with a 1.5t car when the trailer brakes fail. or even worse even if you're halfway around a bend and you need to slam the brakes, chances are bad enough of jack knifing with a 4WD, youre nearly guaranteed it in something like a falcon or commodore.
  19. I'm sorry but the falcon is a shit option. it has a performance cars gearbox in it that hates being loaded up extensively (like when pulling up a hill) i did a trip with empty car trailer from Wollongong to Sydney, loaded a 33GTST on, then back to Wollongong. With the trailer and car on it wont hold over 80kmh uphills (on the freeway) and it will want to boil the atf. That trip i averaged 25L/100km. And remember, half of it the trailer was empty! its definitely different on the flat, itll get up and cruise along, but the slightest hill and youre gone and i don't know that many freeways in aus that are perfectly flat. oh and 115k kms isn't many kays on an FG.
  20. Keep that ZF6 gearbox VERY well serviced, be prepared to use 3rd on the freeway and let speed drop (Don't force it to hold speed up hills) or you WILL be up for a very expensive gearbox rebuild. Also keep a check on diff and blade bushes to keep the rear end in check. Oh, and have fun with fuel usage...
  21. Coffee, one of the most disgusting things around!
  22. James (GrumbleBee) said he found a noticeable gain in front end grip when he fitted his. I'd say designed properly there are definite gains to be had. Designed poorly, well, you could end up with less downforce!
