yeah the bigt test for crows is coming, next four weeks: Fremantle, St Kilda, Port, Geelong.

getting to the pointy end now!

Freo shoulder be penned in as a win (even though they gave Carlton a hard time) and maybe even Port, but the other 2 are definitely gonna be tough.

Geelong IMHO needed to lose today and possibly did themselves a favour, on the other hand, I reckon Saints will go into finals less prepared than the Cats next time.

I picked the Saints today but if they face off in the finals again, I'll pick the Cats next time.

Unfortunatly i agree with you...We almost need a loss to give us some fight and anger again, though yesterday there was quite a bit there.

Twas a great game though and alot could be taken out of it from both clubs

Agreed, the old stigma of coming into finals undefeated "you gotta lose sometime!". Geelong will probably spend the whole week reviewing and improving on where they went wrong, and will probably be better prepared for the next time they play the saints.

Port and Crows will be a cracker IMO, Port have an outstanding home run this year, and Crows who are on quite a streak! Be a good game to watch, whos home game is it?

Freo can have an automatic win against Adelaide as long as they get rid of that f**king yellow strip, its f**king horrid.

The next Showdown will be a Crows' home game.

Carlton wore a yellow guernsey against Freo yesterday in support of cancer research by the Cancer Foundation. Is that the top you are referring to? Is was pretty awful but it was for a good cause (all the players signed their tops and they were/will be sold as a fund raiser.

And as a Crows' supporter we never give away an automatic win. Adelaide has never won less than 8 games in a season. It is the equivalent of Liverpool or Man United but on a much smaller scale and within the confines of the AFL (salary cap, drafts etc to equalise the clubs). It is an AFL superclub.

LOL at the AFL tribunal!!!!!!!!

Barry Hall: Intentional punch to the Truck's face (with a shocking record of offences) = 2 weeks suspension. :D

Jarrad Brennan: Headbutts Carr (Carr's head split open and had to leave the field) = 1 week suspension. :(

Troy Chaplin: Eyes on the ball, leaping to spoil, clash of players (other player got straight up and continued with the game unhurt) = 2 weeks suspension. :down::):)

Should've, would've, could've been:

Barry HAll: 6 weeks

Jarrad Brennan: 6 - 8 weeks

Troy Chaplin: Pat on the back by the coach for courage.

If that umpire is at the next Showdown, I'll jump the fence, LOL.

yeah, good onya Baz (considering Swans & Port are the last 2 teams to challenge for a spot in September) nice way to leave your teams mates in the lurch..........no self control, constantly letting his team mates down by sitting in the stands for most of the season.......dude must be Bi-Polar!!

Me thinks the coach & board gave him a little bit of a push just so they can have a settled side for the second 1/2 of the minor round........imagine if he pulled this shizz in Sept??!!

Barry Hall: Intentional punch to the Truck's face (with a shocking record of offences) = 2 weeks suspension. :blink:Should have been more but irrelevant now...unless he plays for another club next season. Does the suspension carry over then?

Jarrad Brennan: Headbutts Carr (Carr's head split open and had to leave the field) = 1 week suspension. :wacko:Was given 3 weeks, 1 week reduced for guilty plea, 1 week further reduced for good record for last 5 years. Still should be out for 3 weeks.

Troy Chaplin: Eyes on the ball, leaping to spoil, clash of players (other player got straight up and continued with the game unhurt) = 2 weeks suspension. :(:D:)Rich played very little in the 4th quarter and had minimal impact. Was clear effected by the collision. TV didn't show at what point Chaplin left the ground and he was never going to make the contest. Too bad. He was playing pretty well too.

If that umpire is at the next Showdown, I'll jump the fence, LOL. I have quoted you on this. I expect a member of the SAUSA board to be true to their word!

Must say i've watched a few port games this year (not a supporter mind you) and that was probably THE worst i've ever seen them play! Melbourne have a pretty decent lineup (been saying that all year as well with many a sAfrican American and laugh) that is very young and still making silly decisions but will be very good in the next few years.

Crows showed how to play the bottom of the ladder team and deservedly so thrashed them.

Hawthorn had no right to win that game either they were shocking and we knocked the eagles off in perth...Not getting to carried away now just waiting till sept when it all starts again and the home and away rounds mean nothing.

So is the top 8 pretty well set now?

    • 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.
