A mate of mine done alot of the wiring for that place, i belive thats the 1 anyway..

It has them sleeping cones, where you go inside sleep for 15mins or so and come out feeling refreshed..

And i doubt its $40 a month, that would be stupidly cheap.. Id say more like $40 a fortnight for a CBD Gym, i wonder what DOHERTYS in the CBD Charges..

It's actually $42 per fortnight for students :).

I wanna see if anyone on the forums can meet up with me and maybe form a workout group. Was talking to R31Nismoid and he seems pretty keen, however he isn't a member at this gym yet ;)

42 per fortnight hmnm...

I might be able to join workput group with u but it would have to be before/after business hours ;)

Time shouldn't be an issue. We can always sort that out :P. Just need to slim down and get fit before summer! I weigh 105kg at the moment! :)

Anyone know what the full fare is?

I'm looking for an inner city gym. Going to start going before work.

I think the full monthly fees are $89 a month. You can always go down and take a small tour of the gym and talk to the consultant. Trust me, you'll be impressed with what they have inside there. They have more workout classes than fitness first. Before joining virgin, i was weighing my options between fitness first platinum and virgin.

Hmmm I work on Bourke Street and wouldn't mind a gym... 'Cept I hate the idea of paying to sweat.

Sometimes paying actually forces you to go to gym as you don't want to let the money spent to go to waste. :P

As discussed Ben - IN.

I'd need to change gyms, but hell if i can get a reliable gym buddy or two, then it'll be worth it.

I know Ash :D. Would be good to get one or two more mates i think. How much are you paying at your current gym?

Let me know where you find one, and Santa, and the Easter Bunny and Tooth fairy too :D

I have had a gym buddy before for 12 months. We trained twice a week and we hardly missed our gym sessions before he returned back to his country. After the heart break, i stopped frequenting the gym :)

That place is insane! Sleep pods, rock climbing wall, all new equipment, pool

sauna, ice pool, free wifi. Looks the deal.

I went in there acouple of months ago and they told me 50 a fortnight full fare.

I pay half that a fortnight for a gym that I believe is more hard core.

And the db's only go up to 40kg I think.. still a good gym, overpriced but and they

won't budge on price. :)

Slightly off topic but I go to Adrenaline in Mornington (well, just started). It's similar to what rbj was saying, cheap and nothing fancy, but its a real hardcore gym. Nothing but free weights, power racks and a couple of treadmills in the corner. Apparently if you want to gain weight, build strength or bodybuild its the place to go on the Peninsula.

The guys there are HUGE too, take the average big guy you find at your normal gym and he becomes the average guy at this one. There's no women either (they're allowed, the gym just isn't catered towards them), which is good and bad.

Probably not $50 a fortnight if i'm not wrong. It is not cheap i have to say. The price includes all the classes that are available and after some research before joining virgin, i found that virgin provides more classes than fitness first and in smaller groups too. Apparently, heaps of AFL players frequent the gym for the classes.

Yes, they won't budge on the price. There isn't any reward for recommending people either. They know they are popular so they ain't worried if you don't sign up :(

The virgin gym is a health club, not a proper gym like adrenaline, dohertys etc.

I like the hardcore gyms more, and being more free weight inclined,

Fitness first and virgin aren't my sorta gyms.

That being said, from what I saw and was told, there weren't/aren't many

big gym junkies that go to virgin. Its more of an average joes which is

Good.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
