Who here has a laptop with wi-fi? :P

All we need now is a generator and a evap cooler on wheels (or fans) :P

There was a bloke in the FS thread selling an evap cooler for $50. might see if we can grab that

i got laptop with wifi but more importantly Next G :)

-D

Edit - its nick who has the aircon, just messaged him about it. aircon consumes 210watts, which is bugger all, so I reckon that might even run off an AC inverter from a deep cycle battery

If I was more organised I would have brought it to Loxton along with my laptop. But Im sure you saw all the clothes on my back seat still drying so thats how organised I was lol

Thats the idea... we'd need power tho, thats the only problem (unless someone has a deep cycle battery with 12 hours of 400 watts load.

Aircon draws something like 250 watts (say 350 for initial load when powering on) and the router takes 18 watts, so 400watt inverter would be good. Otherwise it'd be an AC plug from somewhere or a small generator

my truck has 3 batteries and my father in law has a new 2.0hp Honda generator.......would have to break his arm to borrow it though.

ok, ill get SA investigations onto it, might use my 10% discount!

the 2hp genny would be infinately more preferable to the battery and inverter route, however it also comes down to how much juice it drinks and how loud it is (and how stinky the exhaust is)

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
