Crows were awesome for 3/4 of the game but like every single game this season, they haven't been able to finish off.

Don't know enough about them so not sure if it's fitness or mental.

If they could turn that on for 2 hrs of playtime, they could knock off most teams I reckon.

I shouldn't invest so emotionally in sporting teams that I really have nothing to do with...

I suffered last year after watching Adelaide United finish second in the 2008 pre-season, second in the 2008 A-League finals and second in the Asian Champions League only to follow that up with the A-League wooden spoon in 2009. I went to their ACL game last week which they lost 0-1 despite outplaying the Chinese team. At least they finished top of their group and have a home final in 2 weeks time.

Last year the Crows were 30 seconds away from an AFL Preliminary Final and Neil Craig came out pre-season stating the Crows were a top-4 team with the best list the club has ever had... and now we're 0-6 having lost to teams who finished 14th (Freo), 12th (Swans), 16th (Melb), 7th (Carltank), 3rd (WBD) and 10th (Port) in 2009. :P I had hoped for a 5-1 start, 4-2 at worse. Now I'm grateful that we play Richmond twice this year... we should win one of those.

Barcelona, currently the greatest football club in the world that plays the beautiful game, was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League last week by an ultra defensive Inter Milan despite Barca dominating with 78% possession. :)

And to top it all off my Dream Team squad is shit and currently ranked 51688 out of 290861. At least my Super Coach squad is doing ok ranked 6002 from 362168 entries. :P

Was disappointing but Port deserved it in that last quater. Shame really was the way the port supporters behaved, like they were in the front bar of some shithole pub using that sort of language around children. There's a time and a place....

I like being a feral bogan Port supporter.

The alternative is what I was surrounded by in the member's area which accounts for 85% of their supporters and who didn't know what a football was prior to the Tony Modra days.

I guess you wouldn't be used to being surrounded by other people at the footy, maybe just advertising banners that block whole sections of the stadium.

LOL, your numbers don't seem to help you out on home soil.........5,000 Port supporters can drown out 30,000 Crow supporters........LOL at the 19 man :)

Truth be known, remove the Blue Rinse Brigade and you'd be left with the smallest supporter base of true footy followers in the nation.

Oh of course, that makes a great deal of sense!

That would be like saying..... take your toothless brigade and those that know the difference between port and ports out of the equation and you guys wouldn't get anyone at your games :)

Both pretty ridiculous statements really ........

not at all....may be feral, but they're true supporters in comparison.....happy to have true supporters even if they are feral.

Proof was in the pudding last Sat....I was there.

Even your old Captain Roo says members will burn the stadium down if they can't get over Richmond (Battle of the Wooden Spooners) next week.......then they'll burn their memberships.

Face it, the most fickle supporters in the AFL are Crow supporters........great when their club is winning (and can't wait to get in your face about it) but always go missing when the chips are down.

Sat was a sellout (Crow's home game) where did 10,000 of your supporters go??

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
