Excellent.

Anybody actually know off hand of a company that does this kinda testing? I know I saw it somewhere the first time this topic came up ages ago, but I can't seem to remember where I saw it exactly.

I'll chip in $10 for that just for shits and giggles.

I recall seeing in that thread posted that it wasn't actually that expensive? I thnk that thread even had details on where/who to send it to.

Troy: WTF is a muscle meal?

Also that's awesome! I'm fairly sure it was maybe a tiny bit over $50 or something, which we pretty much have covered. Once we work out where to get it done, I guess we can sort out cashola haha

Man that's expensive dude 0_0 but whatever works for you...

$10/meal. considering the very good majority of people in say The Wasteland whorethread seem to buy their meals every single day, I'd say it's not that bad at all.

show me a cheaper option that's just as good and doesn't require I do anything other than pick it up on my way home one afternoon each week, then chuck it in the microwave to prepare it :P

Also these meals taste much better than anything of the same calibre of "clean and healthy" that I could be f**ked cooking from scratch myself. If I have to cook clean and healthy shite, it'll be the most boring crap and every meal will be exactly the same. I'm more prepared to spend $30/day on pre-cooked food than go back to dealing with that shit lol

Not my place to judge mate, I'd rather put that money to groceries and make food myself (and have money left over for Tim Tams)

Just my 2 cents, like I said, you do what works for you. We've already established that I'm not as driven as most in here :)

I'd rather put it into groceries too haha....I just quite honestly can't afford the time and effort it takes to do it properly myself right now, and I'm not prepared to make the time so I can spare my own sanity.

Plus these days if I'm left to look after myself, things don't really go as smoothly as I'd like lol. I have a habit of convincing myself things aren't that bad :P plus I dead set take too much sugar in without even meaning to...no idea how that works lol

$10 a meal. Wow. That would cost Max $80 a day, $560pw

Jesse also eats 6-7 meals a day, thats another $420pw

There is no shortcut to any place worthwhile. What youre doing is not sustainable for ever, and when you need to do it yourself you wont have formed the habit.

The "habit" is so crucial in long term success in anything we do.

Even if you only eat 5 x day, thats $350pw to feed one guy

Its not for me to tell people how to spend there money, I have wasted more than most on cars............but

For $350 you could get 5kg of Porterhouse at Tasman, 5kg of chicken breast at Tasman meats, 14 large tins of Tuna, 3 dozen eggs, 1kg of bacon and have $200 left to buy fruit and veg, AND you will be developing good habits

I'm sure youve worked this out and decided its easier to buy them done, just like its easier to not do 20 rep squats or to leg press instead.

Dont for one minute ignore the fact these businesses are targeting the lazy, just like commercial gyms with electronic exercise equipment

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
