The bride's for pulsar is single piece, can be very tough to move and not smooth at all. Brand new around $350 a seat, from memory

watch pandas in a zoo for hours on end until they do something cute. or maybe koalas except 20 hours of sleep a day would get boring. feed them caffeine or pingers or something.

Added brand new belts and misc. pulsar bits.PM me for details and pics. postage can be organised.

which they can easily just put in the bin if the product/game/movie is crap. i think it was a recent Tom Cruise movie that did $60mil in the US after they spent like $125mil on advertising. (but then those kinds of thing gross $200+mil overseas). games on the other hand, piss-poor reviews and its gameover.

its the free to play games that are poison. who would spend $85USD on a new vehicle to use? and its not a game changer either since it has to be balanced. if the whole world uses adblock, does that mean youtoobers stop getting paid by google?

There's cutting corners... And then there's VW. But seriously emissions regs are slowly killing the quality of motors.

The last 15 years of reality TV has taught me to not watch reality TV. Unless its foreign (western world excluded)

Not sure what bride rails are like on other cars but the ones I've had are absolute Shit. Paid a fortune for them. Would be better to spend that money on generic rails and get a fabricator to make it mount to your car. (Depends how much you can get them for)

you going to nationals?

just enter show'n'shine and upset some GTRs. though if you enter track day you also get entry to shownshine

its my industry, but not my field or area of expertise. in my experience, not much changes unless they are radical, already-proven methods/ideas. IEC 61850 is painstakingly slowly being introduced to Australia, even though it does so many things right the learning curve is enough to stop basically anyone from doing it in Aus (besides small private projects who adopt it on the most simple level). I missed out on work with it last month because I didnt have much experience with it. well if no one here uses it where does the experience come from? apparently the training courses arent enough. brb flying to germany to get XP then come home. nuclear seems the way to go (with some R&D for the best method) but price and fear is enough to deter the important people. you could argue public opinion, but with so many people crying green tears, how much say do they really have?

in other words its not going to. unless there are changes to your consumption. and coal isnt going anywhere for a long while. its % contribution will just reduce.

you'll be sure to let us all know when your electricity prices drop. (regardless of how its produced or delivered)

because the availability of solar and wind is going to change in the future? batteries only help to smooth high demand on an hourly basis, and operates on the principle of taking energy from a source that would essentially contribute to the grid anyway. in household applications it would reduce morning and evening peak loads. cheaper electricity or solar to charge the battery. in generation it would be used for peak load only (during summer) because it can sell the energy for the most, while maximising battery life cycle. Not during the night when electricity is worth f**k-all and increasing battery replacement rate. if a utility owned battery banks (which some do) they are only used during planned or unplanned outages. at the end of the day its a market. and market means what is profitable. government funds usually around 50% of construction costs of large installations because otherwise theres no incentive to do it (renewable or not). no one will flick the switch in a system due to whats the most environmentally friendly.

January 2015, peak season. you can see the contributions of each of the generation types. brown and black coal to be replaced? not in the near future I dont think. Victoria alone requires a capacity of over 11,000MW on demand. the record (January 2009-2010 i think) was over 10,500MW. Its been decreasing ever since then. those are peak figures. peaks have been reducing but average demand has decreased as a whole. due to a number of factors, including: Appliance efficiency, government efficiency programs, lower growth of wholesale customers, major industrial closures (Alcoa being the most notable), price of electricity, income, household solar.

pfft. be sure to build up your GTR nice and gud for your children and grand kids. if anyone is interested in a fairly simple explanation of the energy market: http://www.wattclarity.com.au/2009/10/some-benefits-of-curtailability/ sections 0 and 1. A snapshot of solar/wind/hydro contributions on a national scale. check out those peaks. with hydro being the only one interested in contributing base load. solar/wind will only contribute when they can and when its affordable (which is not often enough). The dips in hydro are due to them halting production and using low prices to pump water back up the dam. its all about making money and dragging out years of service life.

im just glad theres a lot of money and research going into batteries. its like the solid state drive for computers... quality and price will improve as people find better (read: cheaper) ways of doing things. I still dont think solar is the answer unless there is a breakthrough. everyone keeps thinking on a domestic basis... industry needs power too. and in this ideal world the charges are going to have to be handed to businesses if homes arent paying for it. it would have all sorts of affects, including the demise of feed-in tariffs for small solar. in 50 years time when they (might) start closing down coal mines, what will happen to them? are they going to try to back-fill the open cuts? tear down the power station? im sure there are contracts written in to guarantee X number of years of production, just when that figure gets close to expiring it'll be interesting... zero maintenance, skeleton crews running the joint, pulling as much money as possible back to the overseas operators.

I stand corrected, the AER doesn't regulate price in Victoria. It's the consumers responsibility to use an AER website to compare prices and make a decision. Probably explains why retailers in Victoria are so f**king pushy and difficult to shake

Chef and DJ? You'd do well on Q&A

Fortunately there are people smarter than politicians behind regulation of prices and fees.

If swapped out valve body might as well just put a shift kit in. Might even be cheaper!

Why would they go down? From scrapping the carbon tax?
