SLED Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Steve, I'm guessing they're 1 watt or less? Luke Heslo, use the principle of $$$ vs Performance Gained to work out how far you should go........sometimes you can spend $1000 for only 5kw of power more.

Very true, Law of Diminishing Returns Spot on guys, was speaking to Dave (scandyflick) about this earlier and we both came to the same conclusion. You can keep going and going and going but what you get in return may be very little.

writeoff Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well I should probably go to bed after another night of watching the World Cup. I was disappointed when I went for a walk at 6am that the sun still hadn't come up. I didn't see it yesterday and probably won't see it again today.

bezender Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 hey Nigel, i was just looking into something similar (on a much smaller scale though, just the wifi network in my house between the media box and my media server needs a boost) i'll dig up the websites i have found in a moment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291831-the-sa-wasteland/page/580/#findComment-5297408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one on Egay, but reluctant to buy from hong kong with no warranty, and poor item description. I'll be setting up a 1.2km wifi VPN, and need something BIG.

craig R33 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 31 is alive again, limiter check, all good. just the VS commo rear callipers to be put on and splice into break lines for hydro and its done after i pick it up, that will make it over 10k spent so far. and its just a 31.... so much for budget slider. total would be half that if i did as much i could myself.

Weezy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) I've sold my car so skids for me soon too My first time out there is going to be so nerve racking, once I get passed that first initial point and get some confidence it'll be good fun I'd much rather my first time actually out there be a private day rather then spectators everywhere Edited June 17, 2010 by Weezy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291831-the-sa-wasteland/page/580/#findComment-5297717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
