cheers guys. Went to the coopers ale house for a snitty and man, im buggered and didnt finish it.

btw anyone here play oz Lotto? neighbours gave me a ticket and ive got 4 numbers and no supps. Do i win much?

cheers Luke

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

was it tastey though?

so, ive had a shitty hour. decided that today being payday id cruise on down to local shell to pull some money out of the atm, and then head to the bp to fill the 200 with ultimate,

left the shell servo no worries, popped it into second and put my foot back on the gas, engine revved a little strangely, almost too quickly, without the car gaining any speed, bit odd i thought, but no matter, into 3rd and it does the same thing, and i start to smell clutch, f**k. so instead of heading to the servo i just started driving home with the slip getting worse and worse and worse, only just got the damn thing home, f**k.

FINALLY got the oil cooler, filter relocation kit that i ordered on ebay...

WORST ebay seller that i have come accross. had ZERO communication from this guy, not even a please pay me, or an invoice for my payment being recieved from him.

i emailed him throu ebay 4 times, with no response.... and the kit turned up on my doorstep last night.

i was so frustrated that i had tracked down all his details (through various menas that i have) and was about to book a flight to go "visit" him in QLD and have a "frank discussion", when it turned up... now i know that the flight/accomodation would have cost more than the cooler. Its the principal of the thing really.

BUT... now i have an oil cooler :P :P :( just gonna wait for my next oil change, n in she goes

well i just went for a drive in the skyline and got pulled over TWICE!!!! the second time wasnt so lucky got fined for no p plates, do i lose demerit points for that? !!! lucky no defect though.

Everyone I know of who didn't display P plates had their licence suspended for 3 months or so, but that was years ago. It is 'probation' afterall. Think you'll be getting a notice in the mail. Maybe they're more lenient now. Can anyone else clarify?

Yes - 3 demerit points. Although, I've seen talk in the news about reducing it to 2 demerit points...

But it's still 3 demerit points. Which means, if you're on your P's... that's all the points you can have! Even getting another 1 demerit point will be license loss :P

Edit: Ruby, no license suspension anymore. Just demerit points. Has happened to a countless number of my mates. One even got done for a faded P plate, which the cop just put down as "No P Plates"

ah not good dave what it slips 1st gear no boost? noremally you notice 4th and 3rd slipping first under load and boost

yeah, slips it all gears, off the clutch in first to get moving, engine revs to about 5k rpm and inches forwards, driving around in any other gear it struggles to move.

yeah, me thinks so, lookin at an exedy at the moment, should do the trick.

gonna wander down to the car yard i got the thing from to see if they'll cover the box which recently started acting up, might try and throw the clutch in too.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
