freakin northern suburbs bashers...

dont make me stab you carnts!

Nah northern suburbs are great

If I had shares in fantastic brand, their 2 minute noodle diet would really keep me in the cash... and they keep people who make moccasins in business too

+1 for northern suburb economic stimulus

-D

1. people that dis the northern suburbs.. we're not all scum of the earth. The north-western part of Salisbury North is just fine thank you and Damo can vouch for that too.

2. Stupid female that drives a red barina and pulls out 2 metres in front of the Stag (going 60kms) and causes almost $10,000 of damage!!

+1 on north being the next boom town

all the old housing trust houses are in the process of being knocked down, and new estates being developed.

even new schools and shopping centres being built..

we cant all afford to live in burnside or noorwood, bloody toffy nosed mo'fos

haha

I once went to smithfield/elizabeth area to fix someones computer on site

at the end of it he goes 'you're great, i wanna introduce you to my wife and sister'

and there was one girl standing there ... ;\

-D

1. Chev badges on Holdens

2. C^nts who deliberately run red lights

3. Wankers who tailgate (I'm only gonna go slower!)

I hate them too. But you don't have the luxury of slowing down when you're on a bike :blink:

Its amazing how many drivers think tailgating a motorcycle is funny ;)

Asshats in town who pull along those tiny little wheelie bags, getting in everyones way. I saw a guy this morning who was pulling along a bag that must have been about 40cm high, and had a huge sports bag over his shoulder ;)

+1 for the north side not being that bad

i mean i am pretty sure what sort of shit happens up north also happens down south

mawson lakes is looking quite good with its new buildings being built up etc etc

unfortunately most of the houses are energy sinks... poorly designed, poorly insulated with massive airconditioners to cope... i saw a report a few years ago in the advertiser which indicated that people in mawson lakes had a bigger electricity bill than most others (whether or not they had plasma tvs before they became common im not sure)

people need to start designing houses with eaves or verandas like they did 150 years ago... and then insulate the hell out of it

-D

good old brick walls does the trick!

Double brick walls in and out in my place. Together with the security/roller shutters I have, it keeps the place quite cool. The extension I'm adding on is not brick, but will comprise more than adequate insulation for its southerly orientation.

BTW I hate water restrictions. I've had neighbours comment on "are you allowed to have that pool" when I've got all the approvals and permits that says so. I have water saving devices in my home and I have no lawn left to water. Yet I see Councils wasting water all the time. ;)

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
