Well as some of you may be aware it's the World Mayor Award.

I think this might be a good way in which we can thank John Soo for all the hard work he put into making the Commonwealth Games what it was, And also all the addition events in which was organised by the city to keep everyone entertained. (He can't help the road closures so i don’t want to hear ppl complaining).

From www.worldmayor.com

"You are invited to nominate outstanding mayors who you think should be among the finalists of the 2006 World Mayor contest. The names of the finalists will be published in June 2006. Preliminary findings will be provided during the course of the nomination round, between now and the end of May. The second round will run from June until the end of October 2006. The winner of World Mayor 2006 will be announced in early December 2006."

Your Nomination can be entered at

we were having this debate at work....

i reckon people cheered him at the games because they're taking the piss (which is a little usetting being chinese), but they reckon that people genuinely take to him...

what do you think?

I think when people take the piss in a positive manner, they are genuinely taking to him. He is funny, love the way he laughs after most things and seems to be a good bloke.

HAHA

i love him.. not in a "i want to touch his man boobs and lick his head where his hair receeds" kind of way.... he's like Melbournes answer to good ol Yeltsin!

I believe the best way to sum him up is... "He's human"

As well as a very smart man.

Did anyone see that interview with So & Bracks after the games?

Bracks did the "John So is my Bro" line, then put his arm around So's shoulder, Bracks then removed his arm from around So's shoulder, and leaned very casually with his elbow on So's shoulder, then when the press started to address Bracks directly, he proceeded to use his elbow to shove So off to one side.

I'm not a fan of So, but I'm even less of a Bracks fan.

In the spirit of Ted Bullpit, and at risk of being named as a terrorist, SOMEONE SHOULD BLOW ALL THE BLOODY POLITICIANS UP!

WTF is it with this guy, no one has given a rats about the Mayor before, why now? Can someone enlighten me?

I'm not a massive fan, but i just love the way he says Livinia - "Sank you lid bin eeeed ah"

I actaully liked the round of applause that he got for the pure purpose that it would have made poor bracksy jealous :teehee:

Yes so funny when not 1 person clapped when they said bracks name!! I am honestly surprised people didnt boo. And as for him being referred to as the "honorable" Bracks was the biggest joke!!

For a guy that speaks broken enrish so's doing a good job.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
