1000 steps has nothing on my suburbia run :rofl:

Anyone wanna try? It's only 2.8km :P

Too many girls doing these steps in the hope of losing weight...not realising they're going to gain some pretty large quads by the end of it.

Either that or you see em slamming down sports drinks on the way up, which offsets any weight loss that may have occurred.

Climbing the stairs doesn't actually burn that much energy. I can think of a lot of other exercises which are more full body and less impact on the knees but which burn more energy.

That's correct...you tire out before you break a sweat because it's more than just body resistance when you're battling inclines. Might as well hit the leg press at the gym IMO. I suspect this to be one of the reasons 1000 steps is so popular too...legs wear out long before the heart and lungs are up to full steam, giving you that tired/stuffed feeling earlier on and making you feel like you've done alot for your body.

D: I dont wanna do it any more if thats the case!

It's not that bad lol, you're not gonna become massive overnight. Just keep an eye on your legs...if they're getting too muscular for your liking then stop running it and stick to flat ground running or a good mix of uphills and downhills :devil:

Besides you don't look very big anyway...it's usually the girls with wide bone structures / bigger girls who convert their fat to muscle that end up with big looking legs.

I climb the 1000 steps with 20kg rucksack on my back.

Some of the weight is water so that when I reach the top I can have a decent drink and there's less weight on the decent :devil:

Another good work out is finding real concrete steps or an incline, and go down on all fours and walk it that way. Full body work out. You can go up head first, and go down head first. Just watch your teeth if you are a gumby.

I dunno how much water you drink at the top but that's the equiv of 20L of water :P. I'd be getting stitches bad if drinking more than a couple of hundred Mls once I'm at the top and have to come back down again!

Like Birds suggested I do leg presses or barbell squats to work on legs and glutes; I presume that's why you carry ballast.

you can have that one all to yourself....nails, knees and pride win here.

:blush: my legs are big enough as is, do not want anything more added to them. though, i'm keen to try the steps, at least once.

I don't have 20L of water in my rucksack!

I only have 2 litres (a couple of drink bottles) Some of that gets drunk at the top. Probably only a couple of hundred ml, but a weight saving is a weight saving!!!

HAhaha

You just have to make sure no one is watching

It is a good workout though. Although pebbles hurt your hands, and bruises on your palms are common.

What else do you keep in your rucksack? Drugs for dealing at the top of the climb? For all the 1000 steps junkies (pun!)?

  • 1 month later...

I went yesterday afternoon, everyone would have still been at work so it wasn't too busy.

If you are heading down Burwood hwy towards mount dandy, take the exit off burwood hwy to go up the mountain and it's the first driveway on the left.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
