Went into Ted's Camera Store in Southland on my lunch break and asked how much the Hero3+ Black is... $530... I laughed and said "I guess that's why you've got so much stock of them" and walked out...

Then bought it online this afternoon for $449, and then got a 64GB Sandisk Class 10 MicroSD and the new style GoPro Suction Cup Mount... all for less than Ted's wanted for just the camera.

And they wonder why people are turning to online purchases and we're hurting "the little guy, the aussie battler" with a brick and mortar store...

Niceee, how much for the hero2 ;]

Would it be possible to flip the intake plenum and have it all run turnflow down the RHS of the bay?

not enough room on that side. barely enough room to fit an alternator belt with the engine in. But it probably could be done, maybe with a custom plenum.

and then you'd have to figure out how to get from the outgoing compressor to the inlet of the intercooler.

hmmmm... possibly. might foul on the turbo as its mounted low

Im getting new ignition leads, 7mm NGK's are probs getting old. I know next to nothing about spark leads, but know about cables. I couldnt unscrew/detach the bit that fits over the spark plug, so wasnt sure if you need to buy them/get them made with them on ?

I know right! How dare he charge $90 extra just so he can have a stocked shop front with full time labour & the freedom to take camera home and use the same day!

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
