in my experience, if you are going to stay somewhere average it may as well be cheap too. I've not been impressed with travelodges although I haven't stayed in the blacktown one.

Try the Ibis at Sydney Olympic Park its new cheap and close (1 freeway)

Thanks for the advice Duncan. The Ibis does look better, but it is $75 more expensive for the night. Just paid for accomm in Melb & it looked pretty good for $119. In Sydney I might have to lower my expectations or spend more money, lol.

Great advice Alex. For everyone else, my car is crap & not worth stealing, and it will be at the Sydney Hilton.:whistling:

nope, aboriginals. they used to ship them out there to keep them out of the rest of sydney, from memory.

Last time I was there it seems like there was mostly filo's there?

Then again I think its pretty much everyone there...

I'd rather be in Blacktown then Bankstown...:ph34r:

Chifely Eastern Creek Motel; http://www.discoveraustralia.com.au/hotels/chifley-eastern-creek-motel-sydney-24491.html

Only ten odd mins from Slacktown? $113 for two; you said you were travelling with your son?

Caravan Park in Slacktown? http://www.takeabrea...ccomodation.htm

It's right near the correctional centre, so at least you'll know where to start looking when your car/wallet/son goes missing...:whistling:

Never even bothered looking for accomodation in this part of the world before now.:rolleyes:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Leon, that part of Blacktown isn't too bad, but TSI is on the other side of Blacktown, ant it's a surprisingly big area covered by just that suburb. The hotel is close to Eastern Creek on the south side, but TSI is on the north side.

Dale's suggestion of Hotel Formule 1 is probably a decent option, except for their reputation - no idea if it's still as bad as it apparently was (I've never personally stayed there). There are a few other options, if you want more info let me (or us) know, and we can ty and find something a bit closer.

None of mine are personal recommendations; just throwing around some budget options that weren't too hard to access.

The F1 was $60ish per night, so I wouldn't expect the Hilton.

More ideas welcome.

Thanks guys, especially Dale, for being so helpful. The biggest problem is most places had no vacancy on the Sat nite due to the long weekend holiday.

But I've made my booking (not the caravan park as I didn't like the idea of the correctional facility being so close :mellow:) so we can move on now to something more interesting, lol.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
