yeah "Ph <1"

depending on the concentration that could have ur hand off

hence why the instruction says wear gloves and goggles before using this stuff.....and a PH<1 is will go through anything as it is highly corrosive :P

What is this thing you call "soccer"? Sounds like some poofy game where it is more interesting to watch the grass grow on the pitch, rather than the so-called "action" on it ....

ok checked out agreement and it just says repairs need to go through the office of the agent which is fine i do that, but fuse and other little things i do myself. The heater blew up over a week ago and that needs to be fixed cause locky is just getting over a cold and there should be no reason as to why i cant have one since there was one when i signed the lease and i dont really care if he cant afford one find the money i say otherwise dont have a rental property

the mo-flo states that it contains sulfuric acid 1835g/L with a black diamond saying corrosive 8

I called joe blow the plumber out of the yellow pages and he said that stuff has to be used by someone who knows what they are doing with that chemical and that it you should be wearing protective clothing ect and that you cant buy this stuff over the counter you have to go to a plumbers supply shop to buy it

if it gets out of hand, the rental tribunal is there to help. probably wont need to get to that...

its pretty surprising that the landlord has some of that mo-flo stuff lying about, they really dropped the ball on their duty of care on that one. being given that stuff, and having to do it yourself is all ammo in your arsenal for getting this resolved.

if it were me in your shoes, id be wanting the landlord to have all of this fixed by COB tomorrow, its not your problem that he has to wait to have the money for the repair, that is what cash converters is for :P

for the heater get the agent to get on the landlords ass and get yourself one.....with the mo-flo well there is your answer....you being in the state of pregnancy should be no where near that stuff.....and obviously your average joe doesnt have the proper training in handling that stuff either......so if i were you then i would be getting in touch with the landlord and the agent and sort this out as the landlord carelessly put you at risk by giving you this "mo-flo" to do a job that needs a professional to look at it.....so basically your landlord was just trying to save $$

Seems your landlord may have just opened himself i big can of worms, considering it has a corrosive rating of 8 pretty sure legally you should have been supplied an MSDS. Especially seeing as it was used in an enclosed environment by an untrained and unlicensed person, and obviously in an improper manner as it will chew through DW rated PVC in no time if mixed incorrectly. I'd be reporting this to the Tennancy Tribunal and also to the agent as obviuosly the fumes have put you at risk.

ok boys i need some help.

My drain has been blocked for about a week now (I think its blocked) when you have a shower the water comes up out of the drain on the floor which is under the bench told agent at the inspection last week and the landlord sent his mum here about 15 min ago with some stuff in a black bottle saying sulfuric acid for drains, I read the instructions and poured 1/4 of the bottle down the drain and stand for 5 min then flush with cold water but it started smoking and had this really bad smell, i put a folded up towel over my face and held my breath and put the bath tap on and the smell has gone through my house and i have thrown up everywhere out the front. WTF

Ring a plumber with a drain snake!

Draino, and other drain acids will do f**k all!

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
