2 Years ago today i had my last cigarette and i feel sooo much better...i've also saved heaps!!!

If you're thinking of giving up.. DO IT!!

The way it happened for me was without the help of patches or hypnotic therapy... it was will power and a plan...

I simply started taking longer between ciggies and when i had one left in the packet i tried to see how long it would take for me to want it.... it's still there.

STOP SMOKING!!!!

Srsly though def hoping to quit soon. Was refereeing my 5 year olds soccer game on the weekend and they were running rings around me :-(.

Plan is to start morning swims next week and hopefully quit Sion after.

And congrats Marsss. Nice work.

yeah its been about 2 years for me too, before that i'd been smoking for 14 years.

Best move i ever made. I already feel a million bucks better.

I used to always claim that i'd quit when i no longer enjoyed smoking, and i think i stopped enjoying it long before i realised it.

After that it was will power and patches.

Patches are awesome, i had the most vivid nightmares for about the first week or so... i loved it, it was like a free high quality horror flick.

I keep tihnking about buying more just so i can relive the trip

WELL DONE! - I admire anyone who gets off those insidious things no matter what the method - IN TIME - before disaster strikes.

Tobacco companies put ammonium salts in the filters - do you know why?

They'll tell you that it helps with the cleansing action via the filter = BS

It chemically reacts with the nicotine to make it more addictive on the inhaler.

One client said to me, "You must be the cigarette company's worst enemy" = nice rap

Another came back from o'seas in Feb and relayed to me that her trip was paid for by the cigarette money that she would have smoked the previous year. She stuck it in a special account.

And lately, as I'm walking down Macquarie Rd Springwood, I hear the pneumatics of bus doors opening...

The guy in the driver's seat yells out, "Hey Terry it's 6 years to-day"

I say in a soft voice, "That's great Brian; congrats"

I know that Brian is a real extrovert so that'd be nothing new...

...but me being 'introspective' think as I look at the passengers in the bus, "I hope they're not thinking that this is the 6th anniversary of a gay relationship" hehe

Motivation is a core issue... It can be any of the following reasons (to start with)...

1) health + longevity of life

2) mental control reclaimed over nicotine - not the other way round

3) $$$

4) social

5) family

6) improve sperm count

7) fitness/breathing capacity/stamina

8) mobility

9) pregnancy + health of the unborn

Hypnotherapy is a great tool for getting rid of the craving > stops psychological withdrawal

l-Tyrosine amino acid (with dosage) geared to the number of Mg nicotine that's smoked daily supports the brain chemical Dopamine > stops the physical withdrawal (ie moodiness, agitation & down feelings)

The worst time of the year that I get repeat clients is Feb/Jan soon after silly season starts with the grog. Be careful.

Again Congrats!!! You've done it !!! :down:

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
