the annoying thing about jewellery is that they can charge whatever the f**k they want for something and make up whatever bullshit, and 95% of everyone dont know any different.

Yep. Bought a ring for 4 grand (got $200 discount) 2 weeks later the same ring was on sale for 2 grand.

thus why you get an independent valuation of the stone..

[Leroy Peterson]

Ahh good idea.

I'm still Jenny from the block

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Got ours valued... a few thou less than the "retail price" but within a grand of what i actually paid

[emts]

got the GIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemological_Institute_of_America) prior to purchasing the stone.

valuation came in about 5-6K more than payed for it.

the jeweler discounted massively if you get him to make one, as he knows it not going to sit in the window for 12 months wasting him money and maybe need a redesign or be in a sale.

first time ever custom cheaper than off the shelf

pretty happy all in all.

Not that I'm ever getting married, but no way I'd be spending $50k on a ring...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Subtle

[Kinkstaah]

Rebuilt engine.

+5kw, 500rpm earlier response... 10 degrees less timing... and 10 PSI less boost.

I should immediately put car up for sale

But I won't, because it would feel wrong for anyone else to break it

Good work, post up dyno graph?

Is the engine still being 'choked' by the turbro?

Tony coming to Sandown day?

I can't actually post up the dyno graph because it kills Trent's dyno when trying to do a proper pull.

I'll have to try it on a roller dyno

But I would like to confirm, cause if someone on the forums said they made 408kw (in a manual) at 21 psi (the dyno's gauge) on a GTX3076, with 225rwkw at 3000rpm you would quite rightly think u f**kin w0t m8? And laugh them off the forums.

(yes I ran the engine in beforehand.. my life is empty and I can afford to do 1300run in kms during the week)

Probably not, my engine isn't where its supposed to be atm

Haha yeah hard about that!

Nah dont doubt your power figures, just curious what its like up top if its still like your previous graph, kinda showing that you have a turbo restriction.

But then again bigger turbo and youll have a million killer wasps which you probably dont want!

What has the head removal revealed Tony?
