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

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
