Go easy on the poor kid, he will learn as he gets older. Most kids are like he is around the 14 - 16 mark, after that they tend to mature a little and put some effort into it.

Oh i'm sorry, i didn't know that english skills were something that came after 20 years old?

What do you want me to say? "thats ok tiger, you'll still have no problem getting and keeping a job"?

I wasn't intentionally being mean or offensive, mostly confused.

His spelling is better than mine most of the time...

No excuse for poor spelling! Either you don't know how or you CBF'ed (Lazy)

If it is the former, I blame the Government for not allowing the punishment I received back in the day. Listen hard and learn or you were punished.

If it is the latter, wake up to yourself. Col says spelling doesn't get you jobs?? How do you write a resume' if you cannot spell!!?? Maths may be nice to get along once you have it, but spelling gets you in the door.

How many times have I seen a judge throw a criminal case out because of a spelling error?? HEAPS!!!

I was in da 126 rcu for a few years and left due to being run by a bunch of f*&ck heads, who would premote friends and family over the people who actually put in the hard effort and learnt and could manage people. So I left because it was unfair.

Well my nickname was "G" (this was in about 95/96)

And I use a calculator if the math problem is too difficult....... your point is???

Laziness, pure laziness.

Too many pies and look what happens!!

Yeah but you can wing english... I mean i can speak...

Maths is one of those things you cannot wing, if the boss asks for figures you need to be accurate straight away and no i dont carry a calculator...

As i dont carry a spell checker either...

Anyways English vs Math is not the topic... Prego is the topic...

Go little feller, im still wating for damo's responce...

Dave I used Microsoft Word (With spell check) to write my resume...

Im not saying that spelling is not important, im just saying that I think Maths is more important...

word spellcheck is an american dictionary, and i'll laugh the day it gets picked up :huh:

word spellcheck is an american dictionary, and i'll laugh the day it gets picked up >_<

You must run inferiour versions Mel as there had been Australian content in Office 2000, 02 and 03... :O

Or you have your setting on US english...

Maths is gay Col, I have never used any of the things that I was taught after about grade 5

And on the English bashing...who cares. I put a lot more effort into my resume than my posts, spelling mistakes in an internet post do not mean the guy wont be able to write a resume FFS

English Nazis >_<

Fair point Andy grade 5 math is the basis's everyone needs to know... and yeah i did put more than 5 minutes into my resume also...

Internet posts are a spir of the moment thing...

But i promiss i will make an effort to use more large words that people dont understand, so i can feel smarter...

anyway... good story mate!

these bloody nicknames can stick with you.

I've been stuck with 'pear' for almost 20years

last year, my wife goes to get a tattoo - yep, she comes home with a bloody pear

*checks spelling & arithmetic - all good I fhink*

*smiles and nods*

SO now i half no why your nickname is prego.....

i dont think ill acually understand why you decided to keep it tho >_<

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
