If you think your local water is bad, I pray you never experience bore water in an outback town lol. 

You're not meant to drink the bore water, not until you filter it at least

 

but Bore water is typically tastier than the shit that comes out of Dubbo's town water

It was crazy the amount of locals I met that drank the bore water straight out of the tap =/ 

Its funny now that I think about it, all the day trips I did into Dubbo, I never drank the tap water. I just drove the 4 hours each way and didn't say the night in Dubbo, so didn't really have the chance to be exposed to it. Based on the size of Dubbo, I always assumed the water would have been like Sydney water, guess not lol.

My Pop used to live there (He's now passed), even Nan wouldn't drink the water, nor would anyone else. My cousin has lived there now for about 24 years. Still won't drink Dubbo water, ha ha ha

 

It has the weirdest flavour!

 

That being said, we've also had times in Brisbane where the smells, and tastes, like dirt. Normally after a flood, and its from extra "totally safe" organic water matter up stream of the water processing plants.

Hey Dose... Time to get to tuning...

Preset to 350kPa but we can ramp that bad boy up. Get you some more PSIs and more flows!!!

Full send it, will need to install an inline gauge to determine the pressure though 😂

Don't forget about the NOS.

My yesteryears of agency life are long gone!

Making the shit box, less shit by about 0.1%

Started by taking out the harness bar, seats, trim, parcel tray.

Going to change the RCA leads as the current set has a bolt through it lol. Then upgrade the headunit, install 2x baby seat tether points (turns out buying them new is cheaper than trying to buy them on FB or off a wrecker, funny right?). Will then leave the trim and shit off, and remove the stupid dark tint and replace it with something normal and legal.

After all that, will then go back to fab for a few small changes, such as a better catalytic converter and the catch can Venturi.

If anyone is reading this and wants to buy this shit heap, please buy it off me so I stop spending money on it.

Swaps for a big block Yaris, I know what I got....

I like when you spend money on the car, it makes me horny

Nah, you just ruined that car by putting that pioneer headunit in your car...

 

But legit, I've got a bit of a hate case with Pioneer now. Used to solely use their head units. However, the last two double din units. First one started doing weird shit at about 18months old with Bluetooth. Legit thought it a phone issue more than anything. 24 month mark and it did the same weird thing. Then restarted, then turned itself off. Never worked after that. Pioneer didn't want to know about it.

Drove for 12 months with no music in that car.

Put another double din in from pioneer. 18 month mark, has started doing the same thing.

 

Haven't driven said car in 11 months now, but I suspect the head unit won't have much life left, IF it turns back on at all...

I remember Kenwood and Pioneer having issues back in the day. I stuck with Sony or JVC (only had a couple of swaps, haven't bothered with newer cars).

I am really enjoying not working at the moment.

When my daughter goes down for a nap, I have a bit of a window to cook/clean/do shit/do a shit/work on the shit box.

Today, I decided it was time I added a 2nd SSR for my PWM fuel pump setup. Previously had both pumps off the 1x SSR, which is totally fine, however knowing my luck the SSR might just die so always good to have some kind of redundancy, even if it's just 1 out of 2 pumps running. 

Still thinking how to route the wiring, job for tomorrow.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

WTAC stream and wiring, and no it's not a tiny TV. That cabinet is 3m wide.

 

[Shoota_77]

Good setup for WTAC!

PWM setup very pretty!  Still a little bit over my head that stuff.  Need to sit down with no other distractions and get my head around it all.  I've got the PWM's for when I eventually put mine all back together.  Might have to lean on you for assistance.  Don't tell me know as by the time it's relevant I will have forgotten!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Add it to your list of things to do 😂

More than happy to explain it and take you through it, alternatively you could use a PDM and double up outputs to allow 50A loads.

I went down this route because I set it up years ago before PDMs were a common thing. 

Been meaning to tidy it up for years, and install a 2nd SSR. Found the time to do it now, since I'm not working (on paternity leave). It's amazing how motivated I am now because I'm not working my normal job. It's like my corporate job drains my soul of everything else.

Today, finished off the wiring from SSR to fuel pumps, I integrated fly back diodes into the wiring for sex appeal, instead of running them externally over the surge terminals.
