Actually i was at Elsternwick Audi looking/drooling over the R8 with my son, and telling him about how Mr P1 will/should have one soon. Not 5 minutes later Mr P1 rang.... cut forward a few hours later, and my son (and his dad :) ) has his first ride in a Massa QP. :thumbsup:

I know all about things nor going to plan…..

Tuesday I went out to a customers site for a Preventative maintenance on a machine. Easy enough. Took very little time to complete, until I powered it back up again. Critical disk read error. Spoke with the customer and arranged to fit a new drive on Wednesday. No problems, left home @ 7am, got there about 10am. Damn traffic and road works. This just so happened to be the day of the bad winds, etc.

Got home around 4pm and got a call from another site in Heidelberg saying that their instrument had a drive failure also. So I went back to work, battled through peak hour traffic with rain, wind and drivers who have forgotten to drive, to fix the instrument. Disk replaced and all appeared to be well. Until I got home at 9pm. Phone rang again, the same customer, saying that the heaters were not coming up to temperature. The damn state files were currupt. So Out I went again and fixed this problem.

I finally got home again at around 12am, and was looking forward to sleep. But guess what…… I couldn't sleep.

Apple make servers? I lol'd at that one.

As for you guys that keep banging on about "IT Nerds", don't hate us because we are smarter and earn more money. Next time you sit down to post a reply on this site just remember, if it wasn't for us you'd still be sending chain letters and hiring your porn from Blockbuster you dirty haters :P

Oh, I remember the days.. Eagerly waiting beside the letter box, hoping that the postman would bring me the latest bunch of letters from "The Wasteland".

haha. I like that one. Hence why i've never purchased an iMac. Always the Mac Towers. I have both platforms at home, use them both for different things.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
