its basically like being a sparky / on site technician.. running cables / getting into roofs / wiring up stuff aint really my thing.. coming from a more software / PC support type role.. the job description didn't explain i'd be using a angle grinder and drills and shit lol I feel like a builder when I'm really a geek monday to friday.. was trying to uninstall a nurse call point from a bathroom today and walked in only to see a builder taking a dump dafaq..

(yea yea I'm soft I know.. but really isn't the "manual labour" it's more that im just not interested..)

2nd day and I called boss (my old i.t manager at old work) saying this aint for me.. he is trying to convince the owner to manipulate my role into a more PC based thing now -_- i prefer having a desk and emailing random photos around lol

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

As Birds says, it's more the convenience that makes it taste soooo goood. When I'm at school Lygon tastes best. When I'm at home Chapel tastes best :)

I don't wanna get into a souvlaki war, but if it's a Lambs war, gay Lambs on Commercial Rd for me please. Just don't park in the no parking zone or it'll be the most expensive souvlaki you ever eat :P

The Lambs on Chapel have too much fat in their meat and shit slicing too, not small enough. Haven't tried Lygon or Brunswick.

Yo bluejeans I haven't tracked the SS, but I've run them at DECA and they were quite good. Don't really have a basis for comparison as I've only ever done DECA with them, but I was happy with how they performed. Obviously softer spring rates you get a bit more body roll than firmer springs, but that's the trade off. Still way better handling than stock.

I never had troubles with my EDFC, however I didn't have car long enough to have it happen :P

although they were 2nd hand when i bought them, but iirc they only had about 10000kms use

...

Engine bay heat used to kill the older style motors and you'd just come up with error on the screen and be unable to adjust them. I loved them when they first worked though.

Was looking at getting one of my Tein SS coils revalved, as it's squeaking a lot (done ~40,000km on them). Spoke to the guys at Fulcrum who rebuild them and they said it's normal for SS to shit themselves after ~2 years of daily driving. So if you get anything more than that, I guess be happy :/

I'm not lol. Though I do acknowledge you're putting essentially racing parts on a street car, wear is always going to be an issue as the daily grind is tougher on some components than the track is :/

Do Fulcrum still do 3 Year warranties on Australian-spec Super Streets?

Ah yep, not sure if evo were old style motors or not, were your's in the pulsar?

just realised that Shannon's Skyline Nationals are on the same weekend as DECA is supposedly on... :( what's a boy to do

If you're talking about SAU DECA they're not even in the same month from what I can see :P

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
