haha both you jerk!

Just saw this lol

Well, ok, you lift, but I'm not calling an R33 road car a race car sorry, we all have our limits :D

Unless you do actually track the shit out of it and it's more modified than I assumed, and that would be cool.

Skimmed through last few pages, laughed at gumby fecks who don't know what they're talking about with body types.

You're all talking about how you were skinny or fat and that you changed, so you don't believe in them (ecto, meso, endo), when the fact of the matter is, you still fall into a particular type, it's not broscience:

If you're an ecto, it's not because you were the skinny kid who couldn't gain weight easily… You're an ecto because you have a short torso, long legs (or limbs) and typically broader shoulders.

If you're a endo, its not because you were a fat kent who struggled to lose weight, it's because you generally have broader hips, regular length limbs, and you're a much rounder body shape (not tapered like an ecto)

It's got nothing to do with how you train or eat, but rather the biomechanics of your body.

Did not read all the BS thoroughly so flame at me, bros

Ecto4lyf

This is my point birds.

"However, some aspects of the somatotype cannot be changed: muscle and adipose mass may change but the bone structure is a fixed characteristic"

Your link backs up the point I was putting across…. not sure if that's what you're hinting at?

that's right - bone structure can't be changed, but saying that someone will always be fat or skinny or muscular according to their somatype is complete broscience.

I race it on the road.

Nope...still not seeing it. He's done exactly what you did and participated in an argument that wasn't there.

All boz and I were ever saying is that people overcredit the somatype stuff for their limits and failures at the gym and losing/gaining weight.

yeah but there's such a plethora of calorie dense food that it makes me wonder how someone needs a 2000 calorie shake to go with it lol.

I've tried the strict diet thing, felt like shit and lifts all stalled or went backwards. Thing is though, my reading suggests that for fat people you also have the double whammy of leptin etc levels being out, therefore necessitating more of a calorie restriction than someone who was less fat to start with.

body somatypes are broscience btw.

Sorry kids it's all bullshit. I also ate junk food and played video games as a kid. It means shit all. Junk food doesn't make you fat, eating too much of it does. If you don't break maintenance, there is no reason to be fat, which is exactly what you were doing as a kid. Now if you ate 6 meals of maccas a day for 6 months and didn't get fat, there might be some truth to what you're saying, but the reality is that you didn't or you would end up a fat ass no matter how ecto and inactive you are.

The moment I started gyming AND eating more than I'd eaten in my life is the also the moment I realised it's actually easy for a so called ecto to gain weight, all that needs changing is the perception of what is a lot of food. I'm what you quacks would call a natural ecto, was 63kg at 6'3, yet I know how to and can easily gain and lose a lot of weight as I please now. Solve that one, and don't give me the age slowing metabolism excuse because I have less bodyfat now than I did as a teen.

Like I said, so many people have proven it wrong by changing their diet and having the motivation to change, from all camps of ecto/meso/endo/bullshit. The real definition of an ecto is someone who doesn't know what a lot of food is. The real definition of an endo is someone who doesn't know what enough food is.

Boz made the statement.

I only asked you a question into your thoughts on whether you no longer resembled a given 'type' albeit, more musclar. Even when you were fat at 91.

I agree with your statement of the blame placing, and agree body shapes can be changed. No one disgareed with that.

I dont agree with your ignorance to given body types.

I'm 5'9 I think, was 65kg skinny fat, nek minit after 6 months of we'll say 'bulking' eating what ever and training 77kg, got over being chubby, dropped down to 70 flat again but wasn't happy skinny bitch again, then after about a year I'm sitting about 74kg & happy atm.

My point is, not hard to change IMO just watch what you eat - I don't count calories or any of that hippy shit either. No need if you have a pretty consistent diet.

My new goal is 78kg and still being lean-ish by the end of the year, trying to get me some more gainzz.

Still a long way to go, but joined a new gym and training about double as hard as I was before, gonna have to start eating a shit load again.

So let me get this straight, you gained 12kg in 6 months because you didn't count calories and over ate and became a fat kunt, so you then wasted time cutting back down to 70kg were you gained 0 size? Does not compute

keep in mind water weight from creatine etc, i stopped doing gym for a bit as well and lost heaps of weight pretty fast.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
