Melbourne .. Shitload of weird words..

What do you call a street directory?

Why cant you call a schooner a schooner? FREAKS I JUST WANT A BEER! A BIG ONE!!

BUT!

So clean... Even ur junkie area is nice!

Its like living in the country but in a city .. Ur parks suck (I went for future music) and everyone drinks and drives (generalisation from what I found)

Sydney is shit house dirty but clubs pubs and everything are alot better.. Chiqs are way better down side is fully sik ulehs but sydney seems to have a better police officer in comparison to melb from what ive seen.

But Sydney wins .. its just the bomb .. melb can be boring .. good for a weekend away to get smashed but bout it

i was in melb last week, from thursday to sat, and it was my first time.

the roads are much wider, and the cars just flow, no traffic.

very friendly people, nice girls.

the greek area in the city lol :D

good shopping

free tram rides are cool

but im so used to sydney, the traffic, the rage on the roads, beaches, sydney city night life :P

Lived in both.... Melb is nicer place and a better place to live in general.

People are more friendly, atmosphere more relaxed, weather sucks but hey. The place is more organised, traffic is better.

Will end up back in Sydney soon; theres certainly alot more of Sydney I'd like to avoid when I'm back there.

I love Melbourne. Its just a more laid back place.

The only things I don't like about Melbourne are:

1. The wind

2. The cold

3. The road enforcement (no signs for fixed speed cameras, heavy handed police, small margins of error)

Aside from that, the city is tops.

I know you pretty well Liz, you dont exagerate, and you have an uncanny talent for guessing the temperature... so im guessing that actual windchill temp was within 1 or 2 degrees of what you said... which is fairly cold... im not living in a place that has a temp of about 10 million below absolute zero!

he's talking about the city circle tourist trams.. the brown ones that go around the edges of the CBD.. which are free.

me? exaggerate? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

fark it was cold there yesterday!

8degrees when i got off the plane yesterday.... IN THE SUN!

the wind chill must have been -10000000000000000000 degrees

That was the first seriously cold day we have had all year. No joke :thumbsup:

Even i was cold and i don't normally notice it

Ya should've let the Vic people know you were here!

There is a good number of us that work CBD style :sorcerer:

But then... your a traitor... :cool:

well it was bloody freezing.. i had gloves, a scarf, 2 tops under my shirt, a cardigan AND a winter coat on.. and I was still cold!

I was only down there for the day :)

next time I'll come out for a few cleansing ales!

the weather is one thing I love about melbourne. gives me a chance to wear some of the many, many jackets I have in the closet that can only be worn for about 1 week a year in sydney.

I like melbs. I like sydney too. I could happily live in either.

Both are crappy Mexicans to the superior Brisbane.

1 hour from surfers

1 hour from sunshine coast.

all roads are new.

all roads are wide.

plenty of hills

circuits.

easy going cops.

easy laws on modifications.

low "uleh" factor.

wimmins.. come on... tanned/blonde/blue is what aus is about and this is where they are made..

clubs.. I'm sure there are some.. not my scene.

pubs/bars/latte sipping fairy places a plenty.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • 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
