Apparently, they're looking at building Costco somewhere on High St or around Epping.

And where Pipeworks is in Cambelfield, that's going to be Ikea opening early next year....

Yeah was wonder what they were going to build where pipeworks was

The CostCo would have to be near the new Melbourne markets, plenty of land there anyway

Stance? Probably not. Wouldn't mind being fairly aggressive, though. Wheels are still awhile away... not to mention coilovers as well.

Alvin, why not just go to the new Ringwood one?

Also not sure about those Kando turbos, could swear I've read some evooz thread(s) which do not recommend... Unless I'm thinking of something else.

Iirc people run them and they are actually really good, however they say stay away from the td06-20g as they get a lot of compressor surge

Not sure about the new comp covers that have the anti surge comp covers though, already had my 8mr so stopped looking into turbos

i already have dump and front pipe ($100 for both)

licp link blocked at work for some reason

i also have a turbotech lying around but cant find it.... will be either that or a 2nd hand 3port for like $75

hey anyone got any work going?

friend of mine has moved down from cairns. he will do anything (lol) but has been working in hospitality for the last 4 years.

let me know if you have anything guys!

thanks hamish, ill tell him to look into it.

What scotch would you buy for $50 Hamish? Also $100-$200? I'm building a collection and don't know heaps about good scotch (translation: haven't heard any brands mentioned in rap songs)

under $60 go for any of the following: (always quoting dan murphy's prices)

glenlivet 12

Balentines 12

Johnny Walker Black Label

Dimple 15 Year

glenlfiddich 12

Glenrothers reserve

Johnny Walker Double Black Label

Glenmorangie original

not far under $100 go for any of these:

Macallan 12

Ballantynes 17

Glenlivet 15

Glenfarclas 12

Johny Green if you can find it as production stopped in 2012 and it was their only blended malt (I have a bottle for Orlando as it was his birth year)

if buying for a serious whisky drinker also consider:

Lagavulin 16yr (very strong taste - not for a beginner scitch drinker)

Laphroig Quater Cask (same deal as Lagavulin)

Tallisker Distillers edition

If starting out with scotch and not sure, either buy the glenlivet 12 for $45 or Yamazaki 12 for $95

Personally I would recommend the Yamazaki if you want to start a life long addiction that will likely bankrupt you

shit... I read $100 - $200 as around $100...

ok under $200:

Yamazaki 12

Nikka 12

Nikka 17 single malt or blend

Hibiki 17

Highland Park 18

Macallan 18

Glenfarclas 25

Tallisker 18

Caol Ila distillers edition

Johny blue if not only for the bottle (the inch thick glass one)

    • 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.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
