Hi all,

I have a number of things I want to sell or give away. Everything is pick up only at this stage:

Broken PSP
A friend gave this to me after it broke. I tried charging it but the thing started to smoke so yeah it is definitely not working. Good for spare parts or if you just want to see what's inside a PSP. Pictured game is not included, I decided I will go to EB and see what I can get for it.

Price: free

Model boat
Got this given to me after the owner did not have time to put it together and paint it. I gave it a go but also hit the same problem. Nice summer project. Comes with paint and putty (not sure if paint or putty is still good). The only thing missing from the kit is the stand on which the boat sits (the one with its name). As you can see I have put together a few things and painted some, even if just with an undercoat.

Price: free

Cybot
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Robots for what this is. I finished most of phase 2 and then stopped. I had it sitting in storage for many years now and have no use for it. It was a lot of fun back when I was building it, and when I was young too. Great for a school/uni project or if you just enjoy robotics. As per the photos, you get the robot and remote. All batteries included. It was working just fine when I had it build but I tried recently and couldn't get it to do what I asked. Either the batteries are flat (even though it all lit up) or I just forgot how to use it. Magazines that came with each issue are not included, I threw them out a long time ago.

Price: free

Warhammer
Selling everything in the picture. From the space marines - 1 guy is missing (I painted him and keeping it). From catachans - 1 guy is missing (I painted him and keeping it). From sentinels - 1 robot thing is missing (I painted him and keeping it). Other than that, I am pretty sure everything is there. I made an attempt to paint a few things but only got as far as an undercoat and maybe a final coat of paint. Most of the stuff is still in the kit and not cut out/glued. Just like with the model boat, I have no time for this.

Price: free

Leather jacket
Got this as a gift but unfortunately it is too big for me. It's a size 48 and I am 46. I wore it once, at which point I decided it is too big and haven't touched it since. Its real leather and the quality of the jacket is VERY high/good. It was bought in Europe at some luxury leather jacket place. It is made for snowy winters but ideal for any cold weather. It is pretty heavy/thick.

Price: offer, if offers are too low I will gift it to a friend or something

I know it's a big ask, would you consider sending the psp and cybot to victoria? I'm happy to pay postage ofcourse.

My other halfs brother is a mechanical and electrical engeneer and absolutely loves pulling things apart and fixing them n learning how they work. He'd love a challenge like fixing the psp and also learning about the cybot

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
