hell even the house is now sparkling clean! so, got the RE agent coming tomorrow to help start the ball rolling. sell, pay out ex & debt, move on, ????, profit

throw in some undies, or lack thereof, and we're all happy

the big thing for me is hoping to get into UniSA to study radiation therapy. that's my main ambition.

All Good News Brendon,

That Radiation shit Burns like F--K & makes your Hair stop growing i still have a BALD SPOT :wacko: ,

:domokun: Dale i never throught you was that Blunt pinch.gif ,shame its not 4wheels :whistling:

That drift biker is NUTS! Oh, and I've got friends in Albuquerque, NM. If I ever go to the States, I'll have to go and explore this track if I'm in need of an adrenaline fix. Might have to learn to drive a LHD car tho...

And yeah, epic skid is epic! Notice the car had For Sale stickers on it? Would you buy a car after seeing the current owner treat it like this?

had cortisone injections just now, into the knees.

came home to find Im adopting a little duckling that had lost its family......

At least Ducklings don't have a hidden agenda.:thumbsup: Just food & warmth.

cheers mate! thanks for the well wishes

yes it wouldnt be nice, but I wont be happy unless Im helping others. Not keen on counseling, the medical radiation sciences appeals to me though.

would be awesome to get up each day and help people get over their potential death-sickness.

checked my Uni progress just now, no offer as yet hoping for 3rd Feb. still awaiting medical issues form, which would affect my 1994 yr12 highschool graduation TER score.

that was 71, would hope for a 10-15% increase but to be honest that was 17yrs ago, half my life has passed since, I cant see how its relevant at all.

checked my Stat test score as the result was posted on the uniweb last night, got top 91% out of over 6000 test sitters, 170 out of 200.

171 for verbal 169 for cognitive. Surprised verbal was above cognitive, was other way around in my prac tests.

happy that I made my goal of 85%; that is a distinct pass in my book ;) stoked actually as I was aiming for 85%, could not tell how I went and was fearing the worst.

hit my goal, exactly. felt that was my potential so Im gald to make it.

have a great aust.day everyone

Recipe for slow cooked duck? :whistling:

Go, on topic discussion!

rescued a 1day old duckling yesterday, parents gone, siblings eaten by a fox I presume

got it in the avery, for a month Id say, bought some 'duckling' food, mixing with breadcrumbs.

bowl of water with water grubs etc, seems to be having an ok time of it

let loose eventually on a private dam/lake, or roast?

jokes, will raise and let go

also, saw dr matty liptak again (ex crows afl player, shaun rehn and liptak were my fav players), went thru the MRI scans etc

got to go back in 4months after some intensive (free!!) physio and hydrotherapy. Had to pass on the physio for the past year as I couldnt afford to pay for it, bills and food, was an impossible situation. glad to have the offer of 'gold coin donation' hydrotherapy and free 2xweekly physio.

flip side, had a fair bit of cortisone injected into the knees.... 3rd night in a row I havent got more than 120mins sleep

Good luck with the career change :thumbsup: my missus sister works at Liverpool & Campelltown Hospital, doing this. Hugely challenging, but very rewarding for her.

Good on you.

well, a lady kindly turned across my lane and i was unable to avoid her in time.

took out the front left quarter and everything within about 30cm if it :(

lucky for me, it was the fiat. locally delivered etc. i think ill be scared of the repair bill for this lady!

Bugger. That's enough to ruin your day. I don't know how you city guys put up with driving around all the time, just inches away from some dill about to run into you.

However, you could do them a favour and offer to source the parts for the repair at a good price, if only you knew where a some spares were....:whistling:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
