A *paraprosdokian* is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.

It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax . For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists -.

Examples are:-

• I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

• Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

• I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

• Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

• Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

• If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

• We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

• War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

• Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

• Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

• The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

• Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

• To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

• If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

• A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

• If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

• How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

• Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

• I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks.

• A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it.

• Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

• I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.

• I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

• Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but still have to touch when you say the paint is wet?

• Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

• Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

• Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

• Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

• Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

• I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

• Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Does anyone know who to speak to about getting stuff from Japan, which aren't car parts?

After some items from Yamaha, and the only contact I have atm is in the UK. No one from yamaha AU seems to want to help / nor care to get a part for me (been told its discontinued, which it isnt)....Id like to avoid going through the UK to buy something from Japan if its possible someone has contacts...

cheers. :thumbsup:

Which one did you get ben? I love my new 5puk ceramic. Make sure you get the nismo slave and braided line, your left leg will thank you. I opted for the nismo bracket also but the standard one can easily be strengthened even further

I don't need that. I didn't go for a ceramic clutch. I'm doing under 300kw so Organic was my choice

-D

whether a clutch is ceramic or organic has nothing to do with pedal pressure

Well naturally it depends on clamping pressure (which the NPC is marginally heavier), however I have no problem with the feel of the clutch at the moment - if anything its always been rather lightweight, so I'm not about to spend money on stuff that can be done later, with the box in the car. If it becomes an issure, I can replace it at a later date without much hassle. I just don't see the need for it before I know how the new clutch feels.

I'd rather spend my money getting my dual synchro, 15,000km r33 s2 box installed, converted from pull to push, nismo reinforced pivot bolt etc etc

-D

If you can get more enjoyment out of your without spending extra coin, youre on the right track i guess

Thats my general thought... you don't need to drop the cars guts to replace the slave or fit a braided line or the reinforced pedal bracket... After this I need o2 sensors and another tune so its all about priorities

-D

Guts? What guts? Coin? Chyeahhhh righteo won't be seeing much left of that :laugh:

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
