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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
