Why are limes so damn expesnive at the moment?

$10 p/kilo at the spudshed, or $1.20 each at coles (at about 100 grams each thats $12 p/kilo!)

What gives Perth?

I diy for my work / daily car but won't take risk for my 35 [emoji22] too complicated ! How did you go with fixing your door? Should we organise some fund raising car wash towards your door ?

I've been quoted $1000 to get it fixed which is going to take me about a month to get, mortgage and bills and what not. I'm not going to ask for donations or a fund-raiser for something like this, it's purely on me and my responsibility. That being said If anyone needs some odd jobs done or is willing to pay me to wash their cars I'd be delighted to... Or if some one would buy my subs/amp ahaha. Other than that the cars just benched until I can afford to fix it/change the tires.

Thanks for the thoughts though.

buy a tree and keep in a pot. the dwarf ones at bunnings are around $20-30 and dont grow very big.

graft a lemon branch onto a lime and have both fruit from the same tree

speaking of fruit ive now got orange, lemonade, pink lady, granny smith, mulberry and 2 Nashi trees in the ground

want apricot, cherry and a dwarf avocado tree next

Canningvale markets on Sunday mornings have better/healthier and cheaper fruit trees than Bunnings IMO

Or even Marangaroo on Saturday mornings.

i went up to guildford garden centre who seems to specialise in dwarf fruit trees for some of them

That's fine too =) Bunnings charges wayyyy too much for what you get. Just sayin

actually i shopped around a bit and i didnt think they were too bad,

i bought citrus from there and it was in good shape and $20 each for dwarfs

i only went to guildford cos they were the only ones who seem to do Nashi pears and their website shows stock levels which is handy

Hmm interesting. I have been looking at the plants there for ages and always found them to be quite pricey. Maybe I haven't been looking at fruit ones for awhile. Or the Bunnings near me is just shit with their quality of plants. Good to know about Guildford though, might take a look if they have anything I want hehe

$28 for a lime tree, if I kept it alive it would pay off.

How hard is it to graft a lemon branch on?

yeah fruit wise they are well priced and both bunnings in bunno they are in good shape. local nurseries dont do dwarfs

not sure how they compare with trees

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
