i got friday off yay....time to get things sorted out already lol....extra long weekend for me :D

I have every second weekend off fri till sun...but every second weekend i've gotta work which sucks...Do a 7 day fortnight 12 hour days

Work is currently offering a total of 12 hours of overtime during the week (so 4 12 hour days/week) and 8 hours each weekend day. If systems are up and running on the weekends, I can work up 72 hours/week (including lunch), most of which I take of course :domokun:

lol dave this is sau not facebook lol......sounds like a rockin weekend mate

i honestly cant tell the difference between the 2 a lot of times.

sometimes you click open the wasteland and its like an episode of days of our lives... just with more swearing and trolling.

may aswell weigh in and say I work 12 hours a week

Yeah work is super slow atm and I am only working around 12 hours a week .... and am only getting paid around $1,200 a week for the privilege - nice on the the lifestyle, not so nice on the toys budget :domokun:

Look what turned up in the post for me today :domokun:

Sorry about the fail IPhone pics, but you get the idea. Will take some better pics of it as a car and transformed when it is a nice sunny day and I get the decent camera out.

Yeah but I might have foregone working for 3 years while I did a degree (can ANY of you imagine not working/earning money for 3 years?), then moved to Darwin for 15 months straight out of Uni to get some practical experience .... and I have to do some more study and examinations to get even better qualifications soon :domokun:

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
