Do you mind giving me a hand this weekend Mik?

I have never used one, normally I just smash at it with a hammer.

Plus the heatgun isn't needed lol, I already cracked the paint in the guards with said hammer

Let's just say I'm used to having a rat bag R33 haha and I man handled my nice 34

[Manuel Kasko]

Hello sir!

I hope everything is well with the fam and cars.

Ultimate tunes have a track day coming up that is being done with 5th gear i believe.

That's correct, 24th of March I believe. They're still finalising the details

Oh i hate how that happens, being careful then... some sht goes wrong and theres a great big scratch.

Im so used to doing things the easy way too, its a totally different approach to do things with insurance.

The only insurances i use are chassis stands and have a fire extinguisher handy.

Are short shifters worth the buy? Trying to find pros and cons. But people are highly eating them and the cons are finding gears in cold weather. Anyone using one?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Dunno how they compare, (the rb20 box and the 34 box), but i can outshift my box with the standard length shifter.

Basically you can shift faster than the synchros can handle and you get a little crunch.

If r 34 is the same then theres really no point getting a short shifter.

You can try it and see, also search the forums, thats how i found out about it.

Has anybody moved house recently? I'm not sure how the electricity works lol.... I left it on at my old place so the new people wouldn't be without electricity (it was left on for us in this place, so I figured I'd do the same), but it's now been a couple of weeks so I just did the online thing to get the final reading and close my account.

Do I just assume that the new people have had the smarts and opened an account by now?

[Trozzle]

Short answer: it is really your problem in any way shape or form if they lack the common sense to get it connected themselves? lol otherwise you're paying for their usage....

[Sinista32]

Did you sell or are you renting?

If renting it out. Courtesy - Let them know what you did

Unless you left instructions about Gas, Electricty, Phone)

If sold. Not an issue they should have advised the utilities peeps.

Be annoying if you came home to find no power.

It's rented out. Yeah I wondered if I should get my Property Manager to let them know. I just figured that it's been a couple of weeks so surely they would have sorted out their choice of energy provider by now.

Just wasn't sure how it all worked! The last time I rented, I think we rang up a few days beforehand so that it was connected by the time we moved in. If you didn't do that, tough shit!

[Sinista32]

The Property manager should be doing this stuff

Whatchu paying then for if they're not taken care of you

Arhh okay, that makes sense. I was changing faster than the synchros from 4-5 and sometimes 3-4th as John explained to me yesterday. I original thought it was a clutch issue. So, I may avoid the short shifter. A friend of mind recommended it. Thanks Mik

All good, I asked him and he said that yes, they've had it in their name since the beginning of the lease

[D.I.Y. Mik]
