Vegiebar on Brunswick st?

pfft, that joint was flavour of the month back in the 90's

might have been hipster acceptable for the duration of 3:32pm-4:14pm on Friday 17th March 2012, but even that was strictly for kitsch value.

fact is that you can never know where the hipsters will pop up as it is guaranteed to be somewere "you would have heard of" In fact the only thing that is certain is that they will serve melbourne bitter.

so get this for fucking stupidity...

I just got a call from keysborough golf club telling me that my old man cramped over in pain and then fell unconscious with his eyes open.

ambulance was called, he has now woken up and is refusing to go to hospital. he has instead decided to finish his round of golf. - despite the face he may have just had a heart attack.

i'm in the city, so there is no way i can get there in time, so my mother is en route as we speak.

I have called the golf club to get them to call the nurse on call and make him speak to them, who knows if he will though

also he has turned his phone off

Something my dad would do.

Hopes he's ok bro! Just leave nab they won't mind dude

he's at home now, mum is on her way over. there's no point leaving work man, i just spoke to him and he's refusing to go to the docs. mum might be able to convince him but i doubt it.

i'm self managed, so i can leave whenever, it's just that there is no point as it will take me a solid 90mins to get there and mum will be there sooner

Yeh this is true. Your mum should be able to talking him into it.. Women are good at that shot

Hate to say it being your dad and all Ham, but Darwin was onto something. When there are people dying of terminal illnesses and doing everything they can to stay alive, people refusing simple precautions for things like this are a bit of a pet peeve.

Age and stubbornness are heavily correlated.

dont't worry man... i totally agree :/

On topic, noticing more and more my dad taking after his old man (not with us anymore) in terms of senility and stubbornness...to the point where, like my grandfather, I can't reason with him on a lot of things. It's scary to think that I'm headed for that too...I'm already pretty senile and stubborn :/

The look of dismissal on his face after I suggested he get his Cobra polished and waxed because the paint would look infinitely better ("It already looks good!")...oh and he put one of those $15 eBay resistor things into his old Cobra, then tried to tell me how his economy and power had improved significantly -_-

    • 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:
