The Bogan

Not really, but then maybe I haven't been noticing. It did have some witness marks inside the front guards though so I had run out of travel on a few occasions.

Raised car a bit, hub to guard is 325 front and 330 rear. Clearance is 110mm so legal too which is a bonus.

Take 2 Cleaned with wax and grease remover then sanded, then again with wax and grease remover, then with some brake cleaner, then painted with VHT MANIFOLD PAINT, then cured with a heat gun stuck up the collector, then wrapped. 1" wrap on primaries 2" on secondaries with 50% overlap, I then sprayed with more VHT. Fitted and run at idle to smoke like 10 smoking things (which is normal after wrapping), let cool than went for a 1/2 hr spin. Hopefully finished this time.

Funny story. It was leg day today, started of with some bar warm ups then proceeded to follow my program and add weight as programed, weight felt heavy, I'm thinking its going to be one of them days, on about the fourth set I just manage to bust out 5 reps for 140. Looking at my program I still had another 2 sets to go, a 5 x 152.5 and a 5 x 162.5, WTF....I thought I had deloaded. I then put my glasses on and seen I was halfway through my Deadlift routine. Note to self. Use larger font when printing program.

Iggy Pop Because I have "Lust for Life" And yes, I am hypnotizing chickens.

A overhead shoulder press is done standing, the weight is pressed without any leg movement and is finished with the weight overhead and your head "out the window. But then my weight routine really only focus on strength training really not body building.

Double post. I've got a good rep and % calculator off the interwebs that I'll post if you want it.

BW 80kg 166 cm, Mil press once a week, 1rm with perfect form is 80kg 10 x 20kg (bar) Then 7 sets of 5 reps from 55% 1rm to 85% 1rm. Then alternating dumdbell presses 3 x 10 Then lat raise 3 x 10 Then bent lat raise 3 x 10 Finish the day with some high pulls 3 reps about 5 sets. I have just gone through a deload of about 10% of my 1rm as I had some time off and my joints were getting sore. It will set me back a while but I needed to do it.

It was noticeable, and with the 5 not having many torques losing any n not good.

The car is noisy as it is, if it was just a track car I would do it but I enjoy going for long cruises, any more noise than what's going on at the moment is a non no. The 5 is noisier than my old stripped out boat, it also has about 320 less killerwasps than he boat, I am enjoying it more than the old boat though. Mainly because it hasn't broken yet.

I never look in the mirror, there is some old guy with grey hair always looking back, if I don't make eye contact he might go away.

googling found this, just need to get some cardboard and knock up a template and get some alloy or poly sheet. Luckily I have no stupid AC or PS to get in the way.

It seems that scuffing and cleaning with grease and wax remover isn't enough for the VHT manifold paint to be happy enough to stick to the headers. I blame the blue paint stuff that the headers were coated with from new, I shall leave it for a while and hope that the heat gets rid of it, then Ill remove them and prep them again and hope it sticks. I might go for a long drive and find some twisties to get some heat in them. The headers have also made the car a fair bit louder too, I believe I may be the oldest ricer in NSW. Oh, and like usual the straight swap "bolt on headers" needed to be shortened and the flange clocked for them to fit.

Need to fab up a better air box, moved from cold side to hot side due to torque loss, the little girl needed more intake length for her to run at optimum. . Also new wheel and quick release because I wanted to waste some cash which should have gone to the diff fund.

Put clean and press back into my routine. Don't know how I ended up not including it for the last 3 months. I also had 3 weeks off, its good to get back into it, it also had been a while since I laughed at pencil necks doing curls and flys, ahh, good times.

Got some headers for it and made a new intake pipe.

1/4 mile/ MPH for finding out how much usable power you have, as stated before dyno for tuning.

Nice work Eric, air dam looks sweet, and I bloody hate America with its parts and prices, when you bring her home you should fill every inch of the container with parts, both old and new, and lots of muscle car and Harley bits, you should end up with a nice little earn.

WPI is missing lots of good nutritional value due to processing , dang, how strict is your diet if you need WPI, just saying.

Organize by levels. I have all my tools organized in different levels of chaos. i.e. a draw of screwdrivers, a draw of sockets, a draw of spanners. All the extra time taken looking for tools is useful because it usually takes at least 1 beer to find anything.

I got myself a new rubber mallet, bitch be hard as, excellent for tie rod ends.

Removed lower parts of the void spacers, @ around 3500-6000 off throttle there was huge noise and vibration. Left the top ones in and now there is no noise. Made Mark angry.

Bulk Nutrients is the go, IMO anyway, as it is way cheap and I like their product. I only really go for WPC as it still has lots of other bits in it which are actually good for you, when they make it "pure" you lose a lot of the good stuff. Actually all their products are cheap, why pay more for the same product, I save over 30% buying from them.

All this pissing makes me want to swap my 5 for a EMO. One of the older ones with the guard flairs. Hmmmmmmm.
