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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
