Filex? was meant to go but didnt get to it in the end. Have gone previously to the conferences and the expo. I love it to be honest. Seeing some of the latest trends and equipment coming through the industry is always a bonus.

Unfortunately it does attract some meat heads, but still a fantastic event.

Over in WA we have a much smaller event known as WAFIC. Unfortunately nothing like Filex.

What did you guys think?

Good news.. I've reached 70kg!! :)

I've been using the basic workout you guys recommended earlier. Also a mate has started working out with me, so we're definitely pushing much harder.

Been going strong since Feb so it's pretty much dead on 2kg gain a month, couldn't be happier!!

Cheers for the advice dudes, now onto 75... :cheers:

WTF is Ronnie doing at a gym in derrimut lol.

My workout was painful tonight. Not because of exercise, but watching two brothers or possibly a father and son go at it. You know those pairs you get, where one guy has a little bit of muscle and he's showing his skinny friend or relative the ropes.

I refrained from telling them they're doing it (i.e. everything) wrong, cause I know how annoyng it can be when people have approach you about correcting your routine...but I did enjoy some laughs at their expense. Lat pulldowns and the younger one (skinny kid about 16/17) has the older one pushing down to help him on every rep right from the start? Drop the f**king weight if you can't lift it! Then he tried it solo and he was practically bouncing on the seat, with the bar severely biased and lacking a strict technique. Older brother or father was watching him do this and seemed to think it was legit? Next up, I'm doing squats and I see them doing one arm tricep pushdowns with the cables, with the worst range of motion and no strict action...then after a set the young skinny runt lifts his sleeve to check out his arm in the mirror...I lost my shit at that. Seemed like the kind of person who remarks "I feel bigger already" after leaving the gym on their first visit. Their gym etiquette sucked a big one too...they were taking caribeenas and grips from right next to my feet without asking if I was using them, farkin noobs.

The gym in derrimut is meant to be the biggest one going around (almost like the size of a bunnings warehouse ) and is 24 hours sporting every single piece of equipment. It even caters for MMA fighting ie. training.

Would love to see it, the website looks good. Is it privately run? if so good on em for doing something of that size! It is a bold statement though to promote yourselves as the biggest do you think?

What do you guys feel though constitutes as a gym? by catering for MMA fighting do you mean that there Is a boxing ring as part of that gym?

Basketball courts are known as "gyms" especially in the U.S. but i still hear that terminology today in day to day coversations etc. So if basketball courts are termed as gyms, then there may be some bigger "gyms" out there than derrimut

Derrimut gym still is impressive none the less.

My work is bigger than a bunnings, however, again, its a fine line as to what is and isnt a gym.

I'd say it's a gym, and wouldn't think there'd be many as big or even close...

IMO they went a bit overboard with the size of the supplement store and the amount they have on the shelves, but I guess they wanted everything on a big scale..

There's basically 3 sections of gym stuff so far, crossfit stuff, Olympic rings etc, a wrestling mat, boxing ring, massive cardio area, 16 or so squat racks side by side, and they don't even take up half of one of the 3 sections...

As far as I know it's privately owned... I'll try get some photos tonight to give you an idea of the size.

Upstairs is empty from what I can see from outside, so even more stuff will go up there... Classes I'm guessing

go to their facebook page.

looks 11 billion times better then the piece of crap gym i go to.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
