Goodbye Thebarton.

The SA Water site at Thebarton, opposite Bonython Park is being demolished as I type this.

The government says they'll make it into more parklands, but I reckon it'll turn into a high-rise apartment block.

It won't be private land, there are very strict regs regarding use of that boundary around the city. I'm not sure why they're ripping out trees along there near Wheelworx though. I think there was talk somewhere of widening roads.

It might be for the pipeline they're laying down now? Which is apparently for the Glenelg-Adelaide pipeline, which runs through here.

It was a serious waste of money extending it to North Tce :D

Agreed. Apart from people inside the government, most people think the tram elongation was a waste of time.

Back in the old days, the tram used to run down o'connell st, then they got rid of it. Would've made more sense to extend the tram to North Adelaide IMHO

Yeah, but the cost of $12M+, combined with the disruption to traffic in an around the new tram line, added to the fact that it replaced a very serviceable free bus service that did exactly the same job = mega fail.

Need I remind you that Terry/Bill et al who want to do the Garden Island drag strip only asked the state govt for $10M to which they gave the massive thumbs down.

Misallocated resources so it looks like Mike Bland is actually doing something - other than kissing babies and taking credit for the previous Liberal government's setup of Defense contracts and Mining projects ....

Their ultimate plan is to have the tram running a loop around Adelaide, going up West Tce and along South Tce.

I reckon it'd be good for the city. Look at how well it works in Melbourne!

I reckon that shit was pulled out nigh on 40 years ago, cos Adelaide's roads are not conducive to trams and they disrupt traffic too much. They had the brains to take out nearly every tram line in Adelaide back in the 1960's - and these idiots want to put them back in?

Imagine trams buggering up West and East Terrace - those roads are bad enough now, without losing an lane and not being able to turn at certain places .... would suck ass.

I guess the Melbourne tram lines look like a whole lot of spaghetti, but it just looks more efficient than one bus going around the city, that runs every 5-10 minutes and gets held up in traffic, like what we have?

Talking about traffic, anyone traveled on the South Road/Anzac Highway underpass? Traffic coming back to South, turning from Anzac onto South Road have to wait to merge in with traffic coming from the North on South road! It's banking up the traffic even worse.

But hooray for making the tram line that crosses South Road into a bridge, so the tram goes over the road... that banks up traffic every morning and night.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
