Excellent.

Anybody actually know off hand of a company that does this kinda testing? I know I saw it somewhere the first time this topic came up ages ago, but I can't seem to remember where I saw it exactly.

I'll chip in $10 for that just for shits and giggles.

I recall seeing in that thread posted that it wasn't actually that expensive? I thnk that thread even had details on where/who to send it to.

Troy: WTF is a muscle meal?

Also that's awesome! I'm fairly sure it was maybe a tiny bit over $50 or something, which we pretty much have covered. Once we work out where to get it done, I guess we can sort out cashola haha

Man that's expensive dude 0_0 but whatever works for you...

$10/meal. considering the very good majority of people in say The Wasteland whorethread seem to buy their meals every single day, I'd say it's not that bad at all.

show me a cheaper option that's just as good and doesn't require I do anything other than pick it up on my way home one afternoon each week, then chuck it in the microwave to prepare it :P

Also these meals taste much better than anything of the same calibre of "clean and healthy" that I could be f**ked cooking from scratch myself. If I have to cook clean and healthy shite, it'll be the most boring crap and every meal will be exactly the same. I'm more prepared to spend $30/day on pre-cooked food than go back to dealing with that shit lol

Not my place to judge mate, I'd rather put that money to groceries and make food myself (and have money left over for Tim Tams)

Just my 2 cents, like I said, you do what works for you. We've already established that I'm not as driven as most in here :)

I'd rather put it into groceries too haha....I just quite honestly can't afford the time and effort it takes to do it properly myself right now, and I'm not prepared to make the time so I can spare my own sanity.

Plus these days if I'm left to look after myself, things don't really go as smoothly as I'd like lol. I have a habit of convincing myself things aren't that bad :P plus I dead set take too much sugar in without even meaning to...no idea how that works lol

$10 a meal. Wow. That would cost Max $80 a day, $560pw

Jesse also eats 6-7 meals a day, thats another $420pw

There is no shortcut to any place worthwhile. What youre doing is not sustainable for ever, and when you need to do it yourself you wont have formed the habit.

The "habit" is so crucial in long term success in anything we do.

Even if you only eat 5 x day, thats $350pw to feed one guy

Its not for me to tell people how to spend there money, I have wasted more than most on cars............but

For $350 you could get 5kg of Porterhouse at Tasman, 5kg of chicken breast at Tasman meats, 14 large tins of Tuna, 3 dozen eggs, 1kg of bacon and have $200 left to buy fruit and veg, AND you will be developing good habits

I'm sure youve worked this out and decided its easier to buy them done, just like its easier to not do 20 rep squats or to leg press instead.

Dont for one minute ignore the fact these businesses are targeting the lazy, just like commercial gyms with electronic exercise equipment

    • 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.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
