We have postcounts now?

Anyhoo... Sorry to derail thread ;)

All I can say is keep calm, maybe even enjoy a drink every now-and-then - but never to excess of you'll end up in photos on the internet - and nobody wants that :(

Louise's brother is 16 - and he's at the rebel-against-parent stage also. So you're not alone.

Just don't do anything rash that you will regret.

Even though they shipped me off to boarding school in year 8, I have a great relationship with my P's - and I can say I'd be devestated if I'd done anything to alienate them when I was younger. They're the only parents you get (unless you join some sick cult) - so bend over, grit your teeth, and take their rules like a man.

It all works out in the end - and besides, you can't drink properly until you're 24. Just look at Ash ;)

dark... get used to it dude, curry olds are like that. I copped it as well... and I started workin as a bartender too lol

around when you finish highschool is where they pull out the "i'm throwing you out of home" card... my olds pulled that out on me when they found out I was hittin the coke n choof (my old man found a bag of the green stuff under my bed), and I ended up gettin a 97 TER and they soon changed their minds. Got accepted into dentistry too but I told em I was ognna burn the acceptance, that scared em a lil lol.

At the end of the day your olds are lookin out for your well being, they dun gain nothing by makin u a proper person, coz they'll die off sooner or later. Lookin back I woulda ended up a nobody if I had gone the way I did, but after yr 12 i became close to my olds workin with em instead of against em tryin to rebel n shit. Plus I was open with em, they knew about all the girls in my life, that I drank, that I smoked occasionally, and they knew I was doin well in life. You can't complain about someone's bad stuff when they're doin well... so make sure you straighten youself out and curry olds will always look past your shortfalls... be it alchy, coke or the fact that you're a compulsive genetiaclly predestined post-whore.

pfft sif I wanted to end up starin at ppls mouths for te rest of my life...

both my parents drank socially... my old man used to be an alchoholic before he found the spiritual stuff, now he's a hardcore Sai-Baba devotee (which is around when I was doin yr 12).

Take the threats with a pinch of salt... however prove her wrong and show em that you can live up to and exceed their expectations.

You have the option now of making yourself look worse and forcing them to not hate you (they'll never hat you) but be dissapointed in you and in themselves for not bringing you up right.

Or you can prove to em that you are made of the good stuff, even tho you drink and smoke etc etc, if they see that then they'll look past all that. Worked for me.

Curries tend to use the whole "drinking" issue as the coming of age sign... i dunno maybe heritage of drunken husbands beatig wives or sumfin, but yeah, if they find out you're drinking you're no longer the mum's lil angel... now's where they give you space to be responsible... ball's in your court.

lol.. my mum used to swear at me all the time so i swore back at her.. fair is fair.

meh.. cultural weirdness. If its not drinking it will be something else later on.. move out, get the freedom, and you won't be able to go back. You'll be a better man at 25 than people that stayed out home. Sure you'll be a poorer man, but you'll be a richer man in other ways..

thanks for all the advice guys

i was meant to quit smoking 2 saturdays ago, but seeing everyone else do it, i really wanted one.. so i gotta quit now

i'll stop drinking until year 12 is over, but i dunno if that will fix the situation

my mum still wont think of me in the same way, but she has to realise that im in year 12, all my friends are 18, its not my fault that im surrounded by people that are legally allowed to do that stuff...

ah well

once again, thanks

Maybe she is just a little in shock that "her little guy" is growing up. Sometimes parents are weird like that. They don't really realise it until its like happening, when really it happened ages ago.

Try and stay on good terms no matter what happens, as you don't want to burn bridges. It should sort itself out if you don't do anything too crazy.

Being younger than your peers will have that effect, hopefully you and your folks can see this and eventually get over it. Good luck and ..............

Thank you come again!!

PS: did you guys know I love wearing turbans while in my wife's lingerie?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
