Fark....it.......almost lives........again.......fark

The real secret is, it's a lot further on in the build than the videos suggest... ;)
I filmed Episode 4 the other weekend...

Hanging for some free time, and hopefully start filming Episode 5 this weekend, but it's going to be spread over two weekends :(
Though I did resign from work, 2 more weeks and lots of spare time! :D

yeah good question Mark....so what is happening with this Matt?

What is happening is it moved back in with me.

Weve been separated for 5 years, though some work was being done, up until i quit work last year, and then the workshop it was in got sold, so she'd been hiding elsewhere.

 

Our house settled Friday afternoon, so i got her home Saturday (today)! :D

Good to see Matt, hope you have some car budget left after life and mortgage!

Life and mortgage allow a small car budget! Funnily enough, it only costs $3 extra a week for us to own, vs rent... and we were renting a tiny crab shack, especially compared to this place! :D

 

the hardest item to budget is time! I love the new job, i often find working later than I should, as well as doing uni part time, and life with the four legged fluffy children :D

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
