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!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.

      Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much

      I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
