Firstly, traffic rules etc etc are for references only in China, u don't really have to stop at the red light, it is for u to know that u may need to stop when you absolutely needed to.

Second, I am sure u can find someone who can speak some English in the hotels.

Third, massage, cheap, effective and enjoyable, so have one every day at least, you can never find massage therapists like that in Australia with that price tag

Forth, please don't get offended when they check your money. There is a lot of counterfeiting in China. Newly printed money are subjected to checking, so relax.

Fifth, check out the auto stores in hong kong if you do go pass there. There are many auto stores in Monkok distict in Kowloon, cheap, beautiful but not necessarily long lasting.

Sixth, relax and enjoy your life, u will learn to love the place after you have been there for a while. By the way, they do have KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Huts and Spagatti Houses there, or you can order nice western meals in big hotels and comparatively cheap.

See u when you get back!!!

Thanks for the tips

Im slowly getting used to the lifestyle here, i can get in a car now and not fear death...lol

Im getting used to their food culture as well, a lot different to ours but hey if they can eat it and live, why cant i..lol

I had pizza hut yesterday and i must admit, it wasnt to bad.

Anyway, see you all when i get back

ah yeah...if you happen to like loiter on the grassy knowels, drinking beer, eating snacks and just people watching like we did dont freak out if theres some people waiting around to collect your rubbish, they just want it for recycling....i think.

+1 with just going with the flow and looking at things with humor. Hong Kong is an awsome place and a heck of alot easier to comunicate and get about if you havent already been there before.

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
