ok

I rode to work today... took me one hour. The bike path didnt go all the way :P had to ride with traffic on guildford road

You are a lot better off crossing the railway line and riding the other side. Much quieter and much less chance of the last words you ever hear being "sorry mate, I didn't see you....."

Good to see you are getting the miles up, do you have a speedo/odo on your bike? If not, get one. It is amazing the difference you see when you have things like avg speed and time taken to pace yourself against. Plus, they give you a max speed reached to show off to your mates after you have ridden down Greenmount :wave:

Yeah I got one with the bike. worked up until this morning then it wasnt working. there's a bike place near my work so he looked at it. the sensor had moved to far away from the magnet. damn it :P

- not to mention the ability to draft!

oh yeh that makes it soooo much easier :D

I went all out today, no bag or anything holding me back on the way home, 25 mins from Ozzie Park to Greenwood. was keeping up with the guys that I usually can't today.

Work has a shower, you feel so much better after having a shower to get all the sweat off before work.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
