nah man Ultimately he does make the rules, and if he wanted, he could make wildly unreasonable, unfair rules if he wanted to as well, he could make mandatory blowjobs daily instead of rent. Of course, if he actually had them sign a lease then uh, there are rules that need to be followed because the law can get involved, too. Patrick and I were just suggesting a measured, well thought out response is likely better than a knee jerk reaction.

It's a 4 person shared house, with 4 people living there, Everyone with friends/partners/cars parked outside. Bonus points, between the 4 of us, we own 7 cars. Then add the cars of all the other partners and friends, yeah, it's fair to say there's people around... 3 people in a 2 bedroom unit can be annoying, sure, feel clustered, yep. But.. 10 people in a 4 bedroom house is arguably more than that! However, it works in my case. Depends a lot on everyone involved and everyone else's experiences can't be directly compared...

If anything it speaks positively of Carizma that they went through appropriate legal channels and won.... 7 years after many positive experiences that they're still kickin

I live in a share house with 3 other people, so 4 people total. Last night there were 10 adults in the house. This is quite common most nights of the week. It's never been a problem for me. But everyone is different. Rekin is on the money on how to handle situations. Do like me some good change management. It's all about getting them to understand Leigh's mindset on the whole thing. They will then come around if its done right, because its likely that the tenants aren't horrible people and are unaware how Leigh is perceiving them. Dezz's solution will work, but gotta remember Leigh is asking for assistance because he feels being a brutal dictator isn't how he wants to approach the situation, or he would have already done it

She should have to contribute, but she may be effectively sub-letting from your mate, not necessarily resulting in you receiving double rent. You'd have to assess impact and actually provide some kind of numbers to them that are based in reality if you don't want them to get angry and both move out. I don't know how close you are to this friend but it can result in permanently killing friendships over things like this. If you increase your mate's rent by 20% (or whatever amount you choose), you're going to need to be able to explain why its costing you more for them to accept it.. You've got to make them understand where you're coming from or you will get pushback (which you already have as they instantly said "Oh yeah mate make an exception on the first week aye?". If they don't understand it they will think you're being a flamin mongrel, whether you have a solid case or not

You can't - It isn't nice. That's not to say it isn't fair, cause it's entirely fair. It is your place. But when they're paying rent, they aren't in an hotel room, when people pay rent they expect that they're living there, which means, well it is their home. People gonna treat it that way, and, well, anyone who rents from you is also going to feel they have the right to do that. The money you receive from renter is compensation for having to wait to use water etc, people getting in the way of the fridge, etc. It is. Inside that room they can do whatever - it's what they are paying for. It's their home now. It's an important distinction to make.. it is their private area, and their rent covers being able to comfortably use and live in shared areas. This also means they have the right and the expectation to be 100% comfortable that shared areas are also their home.... as much as Leigh does, not any less than that.

It is, which is why I said if you can co-exist with people who are generally pretty chilled and have a fun, good vibe kind of place.. ... is worth more than $20 extra a week by upsetting the balance or hitting the reset button and trying again with new housemates
-
You're right in the sense that people are living there so they should contribute. But you're already receiving contribution by the people living in the resources that you're basically renting them (as I see it) She should really only be paying more contribution if she's actually using (and can be proven to be) more resources than what you are renting out to your mate. If your mate went on holidays for 6 weeks and she lived there 24/7 and your mate has paid the rent and bills in his absence, she would be expected to contribute $0 extra in such an example. Don't think about it in terms of "how many people are using resources" but as a "these are the resources that are being consumed" Source: Often a mediator for share house disputes... ffs. But I'm fairly cruisy. One thing I've noticed through housemate stories is everyone's tolerance for literally everything varies wildly

Clearly I'm on the opposite spectrum on this issue and kind of just laugh when I wonder how this is an issue. What's wrong with 4 people living there? Just can't see it. It's not like they're having sex inside your bedroom while you're trying to watch TV or whatever, I can't see the impact other than what would be a super marginal increase in some inconsequential bill that you would actually have to use some serious data analysis skills to determine the cost of. Would bet that if you get them to move out, the next five people that move in after this couple are gonna be considerably worse Still impossible to know over the internets. Put up some cameras and live stream it all so we can all make better judgments of your personal living arrangements

I brought this up recently at a social gathering of adults. "You don't realise how often you use maths on a day to day basis.. and how needed it is, those Math Teachers back in high school weren't lying about its practical applications" Insert examples of 2/3s of this, or roughly 15% of 650, etc. You know, rough, basic ballpark figures of shit. ...everyone looked at me like I'm some kind of wizard Genuine WTF

I'm with alex on this, and I share a house. You make up with it cause the guy living with you is a mate and having a roommate you don't really need to manage and isn't a complete dropkick is actually a large advantage you don't seem to realise yet I'd say your mate has paid X for X service which he is receiving, his gf is piggybacking off what he is paying, not you, not really. If her additional presence incurs additional costs (like water, or electricity, which really is all she'd be doing) then yeah, have some additional old bills before she came along ready because that's what she's "costing" you. Living with people can turn to absolute shit pretty quick. If this is the main issue it's not really that big a problem. Right up there with "My 400RWKW car kind of uses a fair bit of fuel"

Does it really? Having been to Vietnam I'd be legitimately curious! Just so I can then tailor my conversation to their part of the country

In my case, stock sensor and gauge, aftermarket sensor and gauge, and the ECU temp sensor and gauge (via the ECU program) I got an oil temp sensor and gauge specifically to see what my oil temp was, because I was certain it either wasn't 65C, or if it wasn't... to find out what it was.
-
Re: Oil/Water temp Street driving my car is always 65C water temp. Oil temp will in fact go to 85C

I bought a new 82c thermostat and it's clearly 65ish in the real world. I wouldn't be surprised if the Nismo thermostat is actually the 'new' standard thermostat that gets sold. At least that's whats happened to me... from buying new thermostats trying to get one that's better/higher/more suitable? than the 65c one that seems to always end up in my car. .. different radiators, too.

Still keen to see how quick these things are with a set of good suspension and a mindset of making it go round a track.

tbh I would think the opposite, people want max performance for whatever can be done legally. maybe I am also getting old source: getting old

EVERY nfs game has this blurb.

I still await a system which is quiet under vacuum but loud/louder (realistically just flows properly) on boost. Surely this can be done via some kind of solenoid that reads MAP pressure? I'd totally recommend such a system if a certain fabricator were to create one

I should say my exhaust appears to be structurally sound, was made a few years ago now. I just have one half made by Scotty in Stainless and one half made by RE in Mild steel. Working anywhere near the exhaust results in so much rust in my eyes/on things that it feels like you're gonna put a finger through it. I am sure many a mild steel exhaust is fine. My approach to it is get it done once, right, though. ....this doesn't explain why I've had it done twice, but look, the logic is still sound!
-
I don't know if its relative to my supernatural bad luck, the person who made half my exhaust, or the qualities of E85 vs Mild steel... but holy f**k rust batman. 0/10 would not Mild steel ever again.

Haltech Ps2000 Service/tune Options
Kinkstaah replied to MJTru's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
The PS2000 is actually quite an easy ECU to learn to use. I imagine any reasonable tuner with a dyno would be able to figure out the tables and how they are function in about an hour. I'd much rather be going to someone with a dyno and getting them to learn it over any kind of remote tune, ever.... unless you have plenty of reliable gauges in your car to verify the tune is close to where it needs to be. And if you have the gauges to do that.. and have the knowledge to fix whatever is incorrect.....you will be able to tune the thing on a dyno -
To answer further, do not go that way. SE suburbs you have two choices, really. 1) Havoc Fabrication 2) Scotty nm35 on these forums. If you'd like to see a RE/RTR exhaust vs say, a scotty nm35 exhaust, you need look no further than under my car. You will quickly see why there is no 3) in the list above.
