Love your work, Pete. Can't fault your tips either... I've gone for the old win-win tip for the Showdown. Crows win, all is good. They lose, I get a tip right.

For me the jury is still out on Knights. He's turning into another Scotty Thompson, but with less class and potential. He has a tendency to turn the ball over far too often under pressure (clangers) with poor disposal in clutch situations. I rate David Mackay, NVB, and Bernie Vince all ahead of Knights at the moment. He needs to lift his game to the next level.

As for Port, I reckon Choco should've left Carr in perfect opportunity for Josh to get his 'mojo' back. Matty Thomas will have to find someone else to knockout now that Bass' has retired.

I hope the game is much the same as the 1st Showdown (Rd 3 or 4?) last year. That was an awesome game. Good hard footy, close all game, with the Crows taking the win by 6pts, and Vince winning the SD medal.

Haha, hedging your bets both ways Matt....I do that alot.

I agree about Josh....as bad as he may be travelling, he always gets up for the Showdowns, especially when his best mate Roo was playing :blink:

apparently there was only 2000 tickets left for sale this morning

i think sam is in the shit

ill be there!

Yeah Luke unfortunately ticket sales don't always equate to numbers at the gate which is what the bet was based on....I'd like to see over 40K there for sure.

Adelaide up 2 goals vs Ports 1 point

Port showing a lot of talent, good ballwork. one of those ugly ass cornes boys just marked with one hand while he was being tackled - pure skill.

And it looks like theyve just scored their first one

7-12

Its gonna be a good game I reckon

41,500........now we have to put up with Sam Newman coming to town.

Poor Fev......the mate I went to the footy with tonight is a Carlton boy and he cried all night......still 8 goals in a game is his equal best ever.

Commiserations to Matt & Talbo, great game if you are a Port boy though, but must've been frustrating watching all the side ways action to your goals and Port's ruck domination, not to mention the Cornes boys who will suffer from leather poisoniong this week, lol.

You'll have to try and square the ledger in 3 mths time.

Port looked slick tonight. Quick ball movement, good skills, and first to the footy. Hammered us in the ruck too! They clearly wanted it more and they deserved the win. Truck was poor, first time in a while Tredders has won that match-up. I tipped Port and expected them to win convincingly - tipped them by 20pts and wasn't far off - 26pts

Really didn't expect the Hawks to win. Fev's miss was a shocker. That's one tip that got away. The Eagles was the other one... mind you it was more of an Eagles loss than a Freo win - 9 goals 20 is a lot of wasted opportunities.

i watched the Melb vs Geelong game and even though Geelong won, melbourne has a lot to look forward to in the near future.....considering where melbourne are atm they did pretty damn good to keep in touch with Geelong....instead of being hammered.....

Don't know about that Krishy.......history tells us that occasionally bottom teams can roll top teams cause of lack of preparation by the top team or the "nothing to lose" attitude of the bottom team.

Even though they put up a bit of a fight against the Cats, they're still a bottom 2 side IMO.

With Ablett out for 3 (maybe even 4), it won't really make much difference against Swans @ home next week and NM (no Boomer) at home again the week after.......Doggies away the following week could be a bit tougher but I'm still backing the Cats in that one.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
