Think I will getting a letter from customs either tomorrow or early next week about some parts I got coming in.

Been 1week already in customs awaiting approvel to send out to me. Should be 4-7days delivered instead.

Heard a few interesting theories about what they want to do to fix it up.

This BP thing is just silly, surely with the amount of off-shore drilling going on these days, you would have a plan to stop this yeah? WRONG!

I say just sikaflex that shit.

It's not just BP you know?

It's the company that owns the rig and the company that concreted the base. All of them are at fault yet the media only play up on the big name. There's also a chance this could be the end of BP as their stock prices have dropped dramaticlly so only time will tell.

The reason why it's taking so long to fix is because they have to deviate a new well from a few km away to force the mud through the original well that they tapped into. They will have to re sleeve the old well which is going to be hard work as the psi is so high from the escaping gas which is forcing the oil out.

The mud that they are using has some chemical base which doesn't allow gases to go through it. This will slow the oil flow till it's eventually stopped and then use the new well drilled to continue with the remaining oil.

so, i have been hammering my car loan to get it out of the way

i have $77 left,

if i pay that $77 right now, i have to pay a $300 fee to close the loan early.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BANK SA!

thats the case with every loan Craig! It sucks.

That's why (depending on the purpose) I'll use a credit card with 12mths interest free terms. Zero interest and I can pay it out in less than 12 months with no BS payout fee.

:blink:

^ thats the same with my loan, the fixed interest one anyway.

Also seen your trackie at Garage 7 today Craig, looks tough as a badly cooked steak with the wheels spaced out.

would have seen my black coupe there too!

If you can afford to pay out a 15k+ loan in 12 months, a $300 fee isnt much to worry about!

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
