We are out of space - or very near to it.

SAU doesnt run on air - we need cash to keep it going... simply put we cannot afford anymore space.

So either donate and help (thanks J'z-R33), or host them with a 3rd party site and link them in your post.

Sorry its not a better answer, but this site has grown from 35k users to over 50k in roughly 18months... so its VERY fast.

Just to let you guys know, it costs 4 figures a month to run this site, not cheap at all :banana:

Fire cleanses all :banana:

OR you could maybe just ask people to clean out their PM inboxes or something? I think I have like 70 odd pages of crap I'll probably never read again...

Unless there is a seperate image server or something...

There isn't, but I can tell you that only the execs have a lot of PM space and that doesn't account for much on the server.

Have almost sorted new Australian hosting though with images served from Amazon.

Yeah I know, before I was officially an Exec I was cleaning out my PM inbox every fortnight... I haven't done it since :banana:

I wish I could help you, I actually work at an internet provider, but our prices aren't very friendly unless you're a rather large corporation :bunny:

PM's dont take up much unfortunately.

One picture in reasonable res would take up more than 1/2 my inbox of many 1,000's of messages.

Top work on some AUS hosting if we can bring it back here, that is excellent news.

I might draw up an announcement about donations, never hurts to get some extra cash to let us give the best :banana:

I'd be happy to delete old images if it helped, but I suppose alot of people would need to do it as well.

Problem is though getting people to do so, virtually impossible.

Add to that people who no longer use the forum, dead accounts, we cant just purge them incase they come back - and purging would be not so nice as im sure we have plenty of accounts taking space for nothing.

But like i said, if even HALF the users donated just $5 to SAU - we'd never have a problem with hosting/space/downtime for a very long time :banana:

There is no need for donations. In fact I plan to remove the option soon as we are being covered by the banners and I'd hate for people to think we have limitations due to the cost. The problem is that when I got this server, our image store was ~50gb and it has grown so quickly over the past 8 months that we have just outgrown the drives. I could just have the drives upgraded but with the current exchange rate, its not as cost effective to leave it in the states any more.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
