  1. Dead Kennedys, "give me convenience or give me death"
  2. 1/4 mile/ MPH for finding out how much usable power you have, as stated before dyno for tuning.
  3. Nice work Eric, air dam looks sweet, and I bloody hate America with its parts and prices, when you bring her home you should fill every inch of the container with parts, both old and new, and lots of muscle car and Harley bits, you should end up with a nice little earn.
  4. WPI is missing lots of good nutritional value due to processing , dang, how strict is your diet if you need WPI, just saying.
  5. Organize by levels. I have all my tools organized in different levels of chaos. i.e. a draw of screwdrivers, a draw of sockets, a draw of spanners. All the extra time taken looking for tools is useful because it usually takes at least 1 beer to find anything.
  6. I got myself a new rubber mallet, bitch be hard as, excellent for tie rod ends.
  7. Removed lower parts of the void spacers, @ around 3500-6000 off throttle there was huge noise and vibration. Left the top ones in and now there is no noise. Made Mark angry.
  8. Bulk Nutrients is the go, IMO anyway, as it is way cheap and I like their product. I only really go for WPC as it still has lots of other bits in it which are actually good for you, when they make it "pure" you lose a lot of the good stuff. Actually all their products are cheap, why pay more for the same product, I save over 30% buying from them.
  9. All this pissing makes me want to swap my 5 for a EMO. One of the older ones with the guard flairs. Hmmmmmmm.
  10. I only use a spotter on my last set when I go for max reps. I tell the spotter to walk in when I say now and getthe weight in the rack. I LOL at people who get spotted from my their first set till their last on nearly every exercise. I think its a bro thing and they like their friends junk sitting on their forehead.
  11. I forgot its school holidays.
  12. And while you are waiting for the turbo to spool Nana has cut in front. Power to weight, spool time, taking of from idle, gear ratios. These are the things I would look at if I wanted a fast turbo street car. A 200 kw car built for response will smoke a 300 kw car built for power on the street. By street I mean from idle up to 80kph. For track or drags? Well thats a whole different kettle of fish.
  13. LOL, from my experience anywhere around 400 is fine for the road and good for some track and drags. And as for there being lots of good drivers around, the wreckers and panel beaters can prove otherwise. Anyway, power is useless unless you use the car for some form of motorsport. For the street all you need is response, otherwise Nana in her auto rolla with smoke you.
  14. What's it like in the wet??? Not a issue if you drive to the conditions. BUT, 50 kwatw is enough power to get you into trouble if you think you are a good driver, when the reality is that you are not. Control is realitive.
  15. I had 380 in the old 33, it was enough to destroy gearboxes but after a while even 380 is boring. Was fun at the track and drags though. I would say if you are looking for a powerful car you need at least over 400 with lots of torque all coming on by a least 4500. Just remember that at that power level most of the drive train becomes a consumable. As for chasing power, my latest car has around 85kwaw but handles like a go cart, and I think it's much more fun that way.
  16. Exactly Dan, my goal is to be able to beat my training max on any day. The way I look at it is, if you cannot be at your best only using the basics then you need to look at your basics. Or be like the guys on ICE to train and DOPE to sleep. Disclaimer: I use protein powder, creatine and vitamins. This discussion has got funky. LOL
  17. Au contraire, dang, Im gonna use that Bessie at work, my word last week was "perchance"
  18. Do what you are meant to do >
  19. Got another power steering rack that I am in the process of depowering. Why, I took a non power steering MX5 for a drive and liked the feeling better than power assisted. Its a easy enough thing to do, a little bit of fun with a grinder and a lot less clutter in the engine bay. Plus I remove about 8kg of weight which while not a lot is still weight loss.
  20. In what way? Explain please, is it my belief that supplement companies could sell ice to Eskimos, or that if you are tired when you walk into a gym there may be something underlying that should be explained.
  21. LOL, what's wrong with a banana, some oats, a day table spoon of coffee and some protein 1/2 hr before workout. The young kids at work are all into preworkout stuff, it use to be red bull or mother. The marketing for supplements is outstanding. As for the pros and cons, it depends who the researcher or "Dr" is being paid by. I agree that if you are tired walking into a gym you have bigger issues than what colour drink you need.
  22. My girl had it done at 40, she said it was bad but better than getting a sore and infected throat every month of so. If my 40 yr old girl can hack the pain for a day or two.......
  23. Put in some void spacers (like pineapples) into the diff bushes, there was a knock when hitting rough roads, they were cheap and I was bored. Turns out the knock was from the hard top banging about, tightened up hardtop and fitted some rubber bushing in the latches and fixed the knocking on rough roads. LOLOLOLOLOLLOOLLOLOLOLL,LOLL
  24. Not much happening car wise, tax time soon so updates will abound, meanwhile whilst being bored and having some alloy sheet left over from the CAI box I made up a lower section for the radiator to stop the air taking the easiest route and passing under the radiator.
  25. Mr FIGJAM My 2 cents Starting Strength, 5 x 5, 5-3-1 or 8-6-3 www.blackironbeast.com has some good programs. Main lifts are Mil press, deads, bench and squats, you can do a basic workout which takes 20 minutes, lots of options with all the hard calcs done for you. Im doing a 5-3-1 body building template which takes between 45 minutes and 1 hr dependant on rest time and lifts done. The TRIUMVIRATE (smart mans program) should see you out of the gym in under 45 minutes As for looks and strength you can have both with just lifting heavy on the basics with minimal assistance exercises, (i.e no bro curls or wrist curls or other stupid exercises that support the vain)
