Simon - changed my clutch pedal position and it's all sweet

I prefer it to engage immediately off the floor so will take some getting used to, but the ability to select gears is a definite win lol

Playing spontaneous hacky sack with a rapidly growing group of Viet kids at midnight in the streets of Hanoi, using one of these - easily goes down as one of my favourite life memories! There was an innocence to it that I don't think exists in Australia anymore. I'm scared to talk to a kid these days, for fear of being vilified a pedo :/

I guess the trade off / sad reality is that a lot of these kids probably do get taken advantage of :(

I had a similar experience in NZ playing frisbee at this tiny primary school in the middle of nowhere. Was good fun, till I threw my frisbee onto the roof.

People joked about the pedo thing, but there were teachers around and they didnt seem to mind the kids playing with random tourists.

This!!

I play this at my missus front yard and people walk pass thinking we're weird...

Miss the days where I used to meet up after primary school and ride bikes with friends around the suburb since we were all from primary school.

what is your current phone, and why change of heart?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Black 16GB

It's still going strong. Just time for an upgrade, the Galaxy Nexus is a few years old now so want something fresh to make me smile at the pretty shiny.

Oh yeah, you know how I said I ordered the Hero 3+ from DWI for $80 cheaper than Teds Camera Store had it (RRP)... DWI took over a week to let me know that it was going to be delayed 1-2 weeks... I cancelled the order and will go into JB Hifi at lunch and try to bargain them down a bit. Stupid DWI. Their website still says Ships within 1-2 days.

    • For what it's worth (I'd never looked at the button closely enough to work out it has a person on it!) with the switch 'active' double-pressing the unlock on the remote will cause lights to turn on. As I recall it will cycle through plain-unlock, unlock-with-park-lights and unlock-with-headlights as you repeatedly double-press unlock.
    • I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.
    • mines a bit too fresh of a build, need to put more km on it before im ballsy enough to go further
    • I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast. 
    • Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
