No Crust Racing

You are silly - you asked for that it may or may not be what I think but you asked for it and I like to deliver. People often throw around the 20k figure for a new transaxle, but you'd have to think Willall could rebuild one with upgraded internals and all the newer MYXX upgrades for less.

This has been a good read for me (I started the other thread). I'm leaning a bit more towards 35 these days, especially with the comments about a full service worth of fluids costing only 1k and normal services being under $500 - plus when I buy one it'll likely be out of warranty and I'm more than happy to service it myself (if I can get it into my shed lol). I'm thinking maybe another year or two as I want to achieve a certain financial goal first to help me swallow the guilt of dropping that coin on a car (I'm not rich just good at budgeting). Hopefully by then I can pickup a nice 11+ model with the newer bumper and less box issues. Tell me, is there anything special I need to do to get one with all black interior? I don't like the red ascents.

What am I misreading, I don't think we've swapped places. You were low 80's, now mid 80's. I was low 80's (but started from high 80s before getting sick/injured. ) and am now mid 80s. Though I have gotten and stayed weaker overall and have no great desire to push hard to regain it. Will be adopting a very very slow and steady attitude with very small increases over long periods. Just trying to stay in shape.

lol, OK. "we see it differently and that's completely OK." In other news, added a tiny amount of weight to chins and dips again, ready to start putting weight back on the bench also I think. Been doing sprints on the bike to make up for resting lower back (no squats). Back up to 85kg in the mornings, was as low as 82. A session only takes 20-30mins tops as I'm using 30/60sec breaks.

You just compared skinny kids in gyms to kids dying in warzones.... let that just sink in for a moment. You might be taking heath a fitness a little too seriously IMO, but it's not my place to pass judgment on how you go about your business and given my mantra of not my problem or my business for inconsequential stuf, I'll let you have the last say on this one as I have nothing more to add. No, jimmies not rustled, just nothing more to say as we see it differently and that's completely OK.

Because in the end it's not your problem and none of your business lol Feel pain sure, we all do, but sometimes the level of carry on in here is as if someone was coming up to you everyday and asking you for advice constantly then blatantly saying to your face you are wrong. The only problem there is the time sink. I also feel that pain about people obsessing over macros etc, I was the skinny dude too, 65kg wringing wet, and I took the advice offered and applied it. If they ignore it and get no results, and don't have enough brains to realise they must do things differently, well tough titties to them, enjoy being a rake.

Can't say I give two f**ks if someone spends all their time doing isolations. Can I bench more than them? Probably. Do they have a nicer looking body than mine? Probably. Set your goals and go for them, stop giving such a damn what the hell everyone else is doing. If what they're doing is impacting you, blocking equipment etc, sure speak up. But if the biggest issue any of us have is that gym bro is going for aesthetics and we aren't, then it's probably time to unbunch your panties and stop paying so much attention to everyone else.

Did that guy absolutely have to get in front of you right before that corner... I assume he was definitely racing for position at that point in the day....

I have no choice now that I'm old and busted. Managed to back it up last night, so it's looking a fair bit better.

While all you guys fluff around with special diets and exercises, I managed to complete 3 sets of everything last night (still at reduced weight and in some cases BW only) and have no shoulder complaints this morning. *flex* Yeah, you like that.

Not it doesn't go flat out of the car and this issue pre-dates that relay.

So many options these days. Contour Cam, DriftCam, Sony make some good ones now, plus all the cheaper chinese knock offs are getting quite good. Even JayCar sells something half decent. Doesn't seem like you can go wrong these days if all you need is in car and will be putting it on youtube. External footage is different as you need decent casings and wind proofing for sound etc, plus you might want something with external mic ability and at least remote start/stop but so many cameras have that now.

Nice setup.

lol great pic of the boys, jocks and all, save that one for later years

Twin 3 year old boys...

Nice work on the cooking. I went and got my exercise bike back this weekend so I can do some cardio and a little leg work that's easier on my ankle and back. Also, that 65% session was actually bit more than I thought when I did the numbers. I have't gym'd since last Wednesday =\

Just finished a 65% session. Very minimal twinging. See how it pulls up. I'd call that successful but we'll see tomorrow.

No the "issue" wasn't that serious, just a decline in my interest levels, it;s been almost 8yrs though and we'd had a pretty full wind up towards the end of 2014. As you might recall I was also getting sick quite often etc. Ella has finally stopped catching every disease and bringing it home, I'm making sure I get enough sleep, taking a multi again, making sure I get some good greek yoghurt in (probiotics) etc so I'm feeling better and have had more "interest" as a result. I have a tendency to play down/disregard the effects of work related stress also as that's not exactly manly when I work in an office all day, but the reality is it does actually seem to take a toll on me over time. There was/is some big things happening here - good things, but lots of work regardless.

I have never been into PWO, tried craze once for a laugh and couldn't get to sleep until very late. TBH, the DAA test interested more from a libido POV, but better sleep fixed that. The maca powder interests me in terms of focus throughout the working day.

Stop the coffee also to be sure.

I had an aircon mate of mine around and he had a current tester or something he called it, put it on the alternator wire and got nothing. The alarm wiring goes to a fuse then off elsewhere, the car used to have remote central locking etc, but most of that has been removed (track car). I will have to test if that wire can be ditch, either way though it's on the wrong side to be draining the battery when the switch is off.

I don't, I just use this now. http://www.soylent.me/

If it's that subtle, it's not worth the effort in my eyes. Won't know til I try, but if the comments are that muted, why try...

I'm more interested in feeling awake/alert/focused without relying on caffeine/stimulants etc.

Already lost a heap of strength and muscle, at least in terms of size has notable dropped, but my body responds fairly quickly to losing it and going back to "normal" as I'm naturally a rake. I dropped 30kg off the bench and it felt OK, did chins and dips with no added weight, just bodyweight and it felt OK too, dropped some off the squat also and it felt 'OK' If it wasn't for having spent 3 days working on the aircon in a FWD euro car I'd be feeling better. I skipped last night completely to allow more rest time after being my mechanic stint and went for a jog instead, I'm in no mega rush.
