I would kill for a $75k mortgage... think more in the region of $280k :P and thats with us paying it off like crazy for the last 2 years!

17.5 yrs old. dodgy knees. real bad. looked ahead. stopped Uni. was already in full time work, so bought 90k home, 11sqm in Woodcroft from my grandma who moved to smaller home in an oldies estate

borrowed 45k from oldies and 45k "other means", after 7yrs owed 45k

sold for 210k

paid back oldies, borrowed 130k from bank and bought 272k 22sqm home in Morphett vale and stagea

got that down to 75k as at now

never travelled, never had a "holiday", dont go out (bad knees so thats ok), but had the nice bike, so I havent missed out so to speak.

but yah, knees are still no go. house valued at 350-380k so we'll look for a 300k home and reduce our morgage again. make it a bit easier on my state-of-mind.

in short - I forsaw that my knees would possibly be a bugga (pain/issues/docs back at age 11) so I decided to start early.

good decision, good decision.

bad knees tho, wouldnt wish them on ANYONE :P

Man you've certainly had a tuff time there but it sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way with what you've accomplished so far.

A mate of mine that used to be an Inspector at Holden Hill had real bad knees too (probably from chasing too many crooks from his uniform days) and ended up getting a titanium transplant on his real bad knee. Not sure if you've looked into that sort of thing or whether you're even a candidate but I thought it was worth a mention.

yeah they wont do Total Knee Replacements for me as yet due to age and height

only option I had was a) neck myself, or b) rip out both kneecaps and put wedges thru the tibias (to control the legs)

I chose option b) after much thought

this will have to see me thru for a decade.

had to give up my bike riding last year - one day hope to get back on a Sled like yours :ninja:

hey guys i need a TV TUNER card for my PC...now is there any HD cars out there ? Im really behind in this stuff and not sure what i should get and what price i should be paying. Can any1 help ?

Hypertune at Unit 5, 56 Grange Rd, Welland are pretty cheap and knowledgable.

I have a HD fusion you can have for the right price it was top of the range when i bought it of $250 clearly not expecting that now can give you the spec's

later all original packaging also

surgeon wants to f**k around with my right knee more

tendons are dislocating so he wants to get in there and tidy it up again

f**k off

so not ready for 13th knee op

not yet sunshine, not yet.

whats BS?

that we had a coffee this morning?

liar !!!!

pants on fire !!!!!!!!!!!

oh, knee.... errm, yeah

some of the synthetic stitches have come away, leaving the tendons to pop out around their path of travel.

needs to be cleaned up and restitched, ie, tendons/ligaments are stitched together to enable me to bend, in lieu of patella(s)

but yeah, not ready for that atm.

Yeh HyperNet (too much car stuff mr !) lol i buy all mys stuff there just thought i should ask your guys opnions before i go buy 1.

Yeh im not reallt after a top of the range 1 lol, just looking for something cheap that works. Thanks anyway though.

Dont let top of the range put you off i may let it go sort of cheap

PM me your price (*keeping in mind that awesome price 3.4 P4 chip I "gave" you) =p

we are talking PC tv tuner arnt we?

usb or pci?

:D

lol.......were did I get HYPERTUNE from (I meant HYPERNET). :D

Probably because I've been speaking to Jeff at SpeedLab lately about sorting tune issues with my 34.

yeah man is PCI >>Fusion DVB-T<<

i would rather you look @ what you would get research it and make an offer, then ill say ya or na

oh and you would get the software too which is ulead video studio 7se

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
