I don't go out drinking much, half of my mates will blow hundreds on booze and cabs and shit every weekend.. i just can't spare the cash, or the time when i'm written off for the entire day afterwards. i save a lot of the little money i do earn basically :devil:

oh and i won't get to 300rwkw (on 98 fuel at least).. so not in the club :P

cartier watch at oz shop: $9800

same cartier watch in the US + shipping to oz + taxes, duty etc: $7953

same cartier watch, secondhand from the US + certificates + shipping to oz + taxes, duty etc: $6100

I usually only go out once a week, and when I do I budget $50 max. Predrinks ftw.

And Kris isn't at 300kw either :P But I just say 250+ = 300 club :)

Seems pretty easy to hit around 320rwkw in an MR2. Everyone has been doing it lately.

how much will that cost to do? when you doing it to yours?

Well considering I'd need a forged rebuild too it's probably a bit out of my price range right now but if I waited a little while then I could afford it.

We'll see how it goes.. I might decide to record another album which means bye bye money :P

Who wears watches these days? Let alone paying 6g for one

if you can afford it then go for it. but im still rockin my fossil one that i got for my 19th. been through 4 leather straps and on the second battery. hasnt skipped a beat and i still get people randomly go "nice watch dude"

i'm all for being a brand slut... but 6k is excessive. You could get Armani et al for a fraction of that

lol @ armani watch. way to fag it up. If you're gonna wear an armani watch you might as well go ahead and buy a Swatch watch.

I've got a IWC I bought with my first company bonus (bought it off the CEO :P) and a Patek Phillipe my dad gave me. In the watch world Cartier is kinda mainstream, cos they started out as a jeweler and not a watchmaker. I don't wanna keep wearing a 10k IWC everyday, so the Cartier is to take over casual duties.

when you're working in teh corporate world a good watch says more about you than you can ever hope to get across in a conversation, and can be the difference between sealing a deal or a promotion or calling the shots in a negotiation and slumming it. Its an investment in your career and social life, and doesn't depreciate as much as a car, nor get you labeled as a hoon etc. Hell if you buy the right watch it'll even go up in value.

I don't need to buy it, but I'm gettin in while the exchange rate is good cos I stand to save about $4000. More if I can convince one of the publicists to pick it up and wear it on the way back, so I save on taxes.

i don't know shit about watches. i am sceptical of the extent of influence they have in 'teh corporate world' though.

i just look at the sun to determine the time, like a boss.

EDIT: If it's such a bargain, do it. Crafty work getting some watch mule to wear it on the way back haha

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
