Who would of thought that! Everytime there's a Facebook related argument it's you two versus everyone else :laugh:

Well, even tho I do use facebook, I agree with them.... Zuckerberg is an expletive so rude, even I dare not say it in public.

Facebook keeps all of your shit in a database. Like they said, they dont delete data, it merely gets hidden. Background checks these days extend to your facebook contacts and any cached data the govt has been able to trawl... they sell your information to the highest bidder.

Ive got nothing to hide so I'm not worried, but aware that these people are scheming bastards. Nothing is free and FB whores you out for market research at the least, civil profiling at the worst.

So, I encourage everyone to sign up under a pseudonym and pretend to be someone else. A superhero, a villain, a doctor, a ninja, maybe even pretend to be a kind of sentient form of broccoli, but do it. It'll really f**k with their statistics. And that makes me giggle.

Yes and no. Facebook doesn't 'sell' your data, it allows marketers to leverage your data for targeting, and also for reviewing ad performance.

At no stage do marketers actually know which specific user clicked an ad - rather that 85% of people that clicked were between the ages of 18-24, 15% were from auckland etc.

That may very well be the way they are utilizing the data at the present, but it doesnt explain the fact that they are caching ever little change... if any kind of governmental agency or the like was able to infiltrate the org. then facebook would be the opt in, voluntary big brother data harvester that you'd only read about in 1984...

I have an alter ego of penultimate radness. That'll screw em.

They cache the data to make the site 'better', ever notice how when you go to search for someones name the more frequently you interact with them or view their profile the higher up they'll appear in the list of matches? It works, its also handy.

Im sure your 1 rogue profile out of the 800+ million on there will severely stuff their numbers up :nyaanyaa:

Oh i'm not trying to stuff their global statistics up. I'm just trying to stuff up their profiling of me personally.

A few of use were over there and managed to go on a tour of Tomei when they were still developing the new exhausts. It is a pretty good facility they have there...

that video to come or?

oh, and just fyi, if you are buying a Bosch fuel pump, the easiest way to spot fake vs genuine, is

-fakes are stamped made in germany

-genuine are stamped made in czech republic

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
