Ah... yeah, the planet's fine. Weather patterns all normal... sure.

It hailed/snowed pretty decently here this morning. At least I know what ACD setting to use...

Anywhere else have the skies go a bit crazy?

nice house.....whats the evo doing outside man? tsk tsk!

yeah, we got heavy hail here in mt waverley too - but probably not as bad as what your experiencing.....

man, i sat up waiting for santa, so I can catch the dude that ate all my oreo cookies - but he didnt show up..... :santa:

Geezus this place sh*ts me........

Spence called from the Sunshine Coast to say he was sipping a coldie with just a light beading of sweat on his brow. Just warm enough to make the beer even more enjoyable.

as far as i'm concerned, it can rain and snow for the rest of 06/07 :)

get the dams back up and also give us some snow to ski on this coming season! didn't go up one day last year, wasn't worth it :)

i spent 7 days in november this year in gold coast, it was the most miserable week i had in ages...

the so called sunshine state did not produce anything but thunderous storms pissing hail on our rental car, relentless grey skies with rain and all the while a yucky humidity that sweats the most cold blooded...

i will take the unpredictable melb weather anytime...

Exactly the same as 5 of the 7 days I spent there in Feb of this year. 2 days of glorious sun and sat at the pool then a low pressure system sat off the coast of Fraser Island for over a week, with the first 5 days of that being my holiday! Happily take Melbourne anyday. :)

When we got to QLD in march (the day after the SAU GOR cruise which took place in some amazing weather) there was nothing but storms for the first 5 or so days of my trip. All the beaches etc were closed...was awesome stuff :)

It was all you pathetic *Ricks deserved. 'Sif we'd want to waste good Queensland weather on mexicans. That's the time for rain to convince you all to stay here. Qld Premier is going to slap a tax on the old folks coming up from down south to pay for their amenities.

I'll happily think of you all as I'm getting my blood temps back above that of a stone in the high alps in winter.

Remember I've had 6-1/2 years to utterly despise the weather down here. Not some hopeless week away.

I do remember my final winter in ACT. Beautiful snow drifting down......enough to pull out the board and slip in a couple of runs down the back yard.

Enjoy....losers!! Deep in your hearts you all know how crap it is here. No-one with a clue comes to Melbourne for a fantastic beach holiday.

:laugh:

* silent P as in *Rick Kelly :pirate:

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
