^ Your younger sister?

Mate's wedding recently - they didn't ask for cash, and had a registry (albeit with exclusively shithouse items on it)... got them a bomb ass Versace vase, tough titties if they don't like it

I'm with Birds... felt better than handing over cash imo, but I do love shopping so maybe that's why

had a holy f**k moment a couple nights ago.
cruising along. stop at the lights, defi oil pressure gauge (which i suspect is a fake) drops down to 0.


i saw all that cash flash before my eyes, and a world where id have just given up on this car.


turned it off and pulled over. had oil, all sweet. fiddled around with the sendors and saw that the factory sender wasnt plugged in properly.
started the car.
had normal pressure.
time to buy some f**king legit ones.
whats a decent black/grey faced mechanical gauge? need boost, oil pressure and temp
thx bbys

yeah, jo, the f**king idiot.

young love man.... and i hate the dream boats guts.

OR people already have the shit people are likely to gift them.

Also no one likes buying gifts..

This is my point though...gifts were a tradition and now out the window

People used to not have that stuff

People used to be bothered buying it and getting something they didn't have

Ain't no one got a Versace vase, nice move Ric - they'll remember your swagger everytime they look at that vase

They still happen, if people genuinely know the people.

People invite way too many f**king people to weddings is the problem, they're self indulgent bullshit at its finest.

They are the selfie of events.

Was at the mrs family event thing, one girl who I didn't know probably like 8 years old asks how long we've been married for.

I reply 'aw helllllllll no' get dirty looks from everyone lol

Don't think I've been to a wedding in the last ten years that hasn't said no gifts but a donation is welcome / leave your cash at the door

Tradition of giving gifts seems to be dead from where I see it

Says a lot about what our society/generation has become though hey

We see more value in people funding our shit / paying for our wedding / honeymoon than sentimental gifts that will last and be remembered. Maybe we expect a high chance the marriage to go down the gurgler, or maybe cash means more to us because living is expensive. Either way, it's an annoyingly faceless gift.

Think your being slightly cynical it's not about getting your shit paid for but these days people live together well before getting married so unlike ye old days they don't need house hold items.. Same as engagements people generally are all set up already.

I like giving cash it's easy & personally I find gift registeries to be very presumptuous who are they to dictate the amount spent? That is poor form imo. Especially greedy hoes who load up expensive shite.

we put nothing on our invite didn't ask for gifts/cash didn't say no gifts just a straight invite got 99% cash.

Friends had a wedding recently and did a registry. However it was online and split the cost up

So say there was a 400 item it was split into 8 segments so you could give them 50. 100 20 whatever

Good idea for registry in my books

Cash so much better tho

Do gifts have to be about what people need though? It used to be something to remember people by or a nicety that you wouldn't buy yourself but it's justified if it's gifted. Guarantee you won't remember who gave you what money at the wedding in 10 years, or what it paid for. Ric gonna be remembered for a long time and that vase will shine up instead of being spent on a holiday or the next iPhone.

I should mention I'm not necessarily a fan of gift registries either.

I'm saying it's a generational thing and that's why both givers and receivers are content with it. I bet 20-30 years ago though, if you gave someone cash and weren't a parent or close relative people would think it lazy and unthoughtful. Just saddens old me a little that that tradition seems to be disappearing.

    • 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:
