Get halfway through the 5th course (1 Martini, 5 Fancy Wines, and 4 VB's deep), realise you're drunk and Australian, so proceed to glass some cvnt in the neck, since surely your forefathers fought for your rights to do so...

Edit: Also, petrol...

Not sure if Westside joke or reference to Riverside Racing (also Westside)

Feel for the team though... Second round of the year and second sports sedan car fire

Also, beer between each course? That's either a long-ass meal or drinking very quickly. Either is not desirable when out and about eating good food

Yeah, I usually just get a bottle of plonk...

Much classier.

Beer is like water... it is essential to life and should be consumed in the amount of 8 glasses a day

When we did the chef's table at Vue Du Monde for the proposal

Started with a belvedere martini as per protocol (and a cocktail for mez)

Had a beer or 2

22 courses - all wine matched (inc desert)

Champagne course (63 degree duck egg with veal sweatbreads and WA black truffle) match was upped to a '96 Dom Perignon

when I popped the Q they gave us a bottle of Ruinart Blanc De Blanc on the house...

1967 comte de lamaestre (armagnac) x 2 for digestive

Then we went to the Melbourne Supper Club... for drinks... lol

That was back when I was in the game...anything I wanted was a phone call away.
Now I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

I read the above and honestly thought the whole ultra fancy proposal was more schnookish than being a regular joe.

But hey, that's just me.

I can't stand people who are impressed by such things. Especially women. Man, that discussion about 15K rings had my actually chuckling at work. I didn't think people were actually interested in that kind of thing, like, not really

we were already going to the dinner anyway...

How many standards would that have been? Surely you didn't put away 22 glasses of wine plus the rest lol

No idea.... they aren't full sized glasses... but most were also refilled so I would assume an average of 3/4 standard for most of the wines except the dom which was 2 full standards each as once you have opened a bottle like that it has to go

^ i still do that.... till the missurs became fructose intolerant. but when she aint home...

22 courses? goddamn. i did 12-15 once and it was intense. i felt disrespectful for not being able to eat anymore, physically.

and i only had like 3 drinks. otherwise would have exploded.

I also dont like sitting down grazing like a cow for 5 hours.

    • 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:
