Morning Mangs,

TFIT.

One of my tyres went down (thinking it was the valve) and i didn't know it had come off the back bead. Limped it to the workshop to put air in it and heard and awful scrape... that was the rim buckling. So now I need new rims. Ordered them, but they won't get here till next wek. To add to that I'm being screamed at to get my car out of the workshop. So awesome fun. :down:

That sucks mang :(. How badly buckled, did you look into getting it fixed?

Mine went from this:

To this:

It was only about $120 from memory...

My rims should arrive early next week.

What new rims you getting?

tax man ---> :spank: <--- me

good choice... :D

Hehe, my 5g payment was to pay of the remainder of my HECS as a voluntary payment and get the 10% bonus. So I get an extra $500 in my return for nothing. Rorting the system FTW.

And Chris is right around the corner.

Chris is always right around the corner ;):bunny:

So I sent an email off about my phone. got this reply:

Martin

Thank you for the email,

We have looked into the status of your device with the Samsung service centre. Apologise concerning the delay with the repair of your Samsung Galaxy S II. It appears that the service centre has received the device however they are currently unable to confirm the status of it.

We have provided the service 24 hours to confirm where the device is.

Regards

Sounds like Samsung have f*cking lost it! F*CK! This nightmare keeps getting worse :(.

Why did yours have to go back? I am loving mine.

I loved mine too, until it broke :(. Can't wait to get it back. Or another one back. Whatever, sick of this stupid nokia!

It suddenly stopped picking up signal one day - rendering it pretty much useless.

Spent about 2 weeks dicking around trying to get it fixed in AU, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it to the UK for warranty. NG, had to go to UK.

Sent it to the UK, ~1 week to get there then spent ~2 weeks sitting in customs, until I emailed the courier company to find out WTF was going on. Magically got delivered the next day.

Clove then sent it to samsung for repair the same day, and its been with them around ~2 weeks. So I sent clove an email last night, because I wasn't sure how long samsung usually take with the warranty stuff. Apparantly not normaly this long :(.

FML.

Buckled and cracked. Spoke to some people about it, but apparently it's very hard to fix. They'll probably have to put the centre into a new rim. So they can go in the shed for a while I guess. The new rims seem to be a multi stud. I'm hoping they will also fit a 5x100 pcd so I can keep them when I sell the car and not have wasted my money.

The new rims are ANZ brand.

Ouch... :( probably not worth it with the trispokes then, since the center is welded to the outer.

Pic/link?

Chris, your building is the old metro pd centre when they were getting rebuilt?

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
