Nice work Ben - it will be great to get some more faces coming along ... what is the rest of people's excuses?

Oh, and the needle is not that bad - you just look away and stare into the pretty nurses eyes, and you won't even notice it. By far the worse part is the glucose test in the interview .... but don't worry about that - just make sure you ask them to get you in the side of the finger, not the pad. Last time the guy did it in the side and I barely felt a thing! The needle is a piece of cake. And it gets even easier the more times you go. Both Shaun (Evil34) and I were a bit pasty and needed an extra 5 minutes sitting down and a couple of Powerades the first time, but by the 2nd time giving we had no problems whatsoever. Plus, as others have said, the free cheese/biccies/iced coffees/sandwiches makes it all go down a lot easier :P

Remember everyone too, to have AT LEAST 2 litres of water in the morning before you go. Trust me, you will feel a lot better afterwards if you have lots of water in you!

Cmon guys - one day you will more than likely get someone pregnant and she has a baby. Believe it or not, many women have to have blood after giving birth - and sometimes the platelets are used for the babies too. Or imagine someone you loves gets into an accident and needs blood? Imagine had some lazy/nonchalant/apathetic people actually gone out and given blood (rather than rely on everyone else to do it) it could have saved yours or a loved ones life. It is SUPER easy to give blood, and you really could save someone's life!

People with legitimate excuses I have absolutely no problem with, of course :huh:

  • 2 weeks later...

Had a nice phone call from Red Cross on Friday thanking us for our support. He asked that I pass on the thankyous to all those who have donated blood through SAU.

Hope we get a big turnout on Saturday, and see you all at Red Cross (MODBURY)

Its not to late to join in if you havent already said you would like to come. It will cost you nothing to attend and you get free food and drinks and a chance to catch up with other SAU members.

yep and I will be a bit hit and run, since we have people coming over for lunch at 12pm.

Cool

Gives me an excuse to have a big breakfast as well. A bacon n egg sanga + a litre of water should keep the constitution up

-D

my being able to donate is a bit questionable this time around. been battling off a pretty heavy infection the last week n a bit, so we'll see i guess.

i'm scared of needles :yes: ......

same here.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
