If you want to live long and die of old age you could stay inside your house all your life, because plenty of things outside of it can kill you, but what are you keeping yourself alive for...

Earn your death!

front has aids

front's the best part...

Technically, yes.

We all roll our sleeves up though, my hard hat is usually on the floor where I'm working, glasses around my neck lol

You'd still have it worse crawling in roof spaces though, and if it hits 35 degrees we go home...paid..

i see. yeah going in roofs in hot days is the worst part. all that itchy insulation doesn't help either

Fun. Do you have it?

difference between fun and stupid. do you know it?

So, get a phone call today from mother of the girl I had a lovetap with in peak hour traffic the other day. 2001 E36 318i, I scratched her rear bar a little (it already had a few scratches) and she said on the day that she probably wouldn't bother chasing it up...I offered to pay for touch up paint etc. Went on our merry ways. Now I have this phone call from the mother saying she took the car to a panelbeater and got a quote of $640 to respray the rear bar...am waiting on confirmation from panelbeater mate, but does this shit sound excessive to you guys? I would have thought $300 tops for a rear bar, it's a bloody 10 year old pov spec beamer :/

The lady owner of the van my brother rear ended (actually the car he hit, hit the van in front) sent a claim for $22,000....

We're talkin a regular old tarago or something, that she was able to drive away from the incident with some minor rear bar damage.

Does that sound excessive to you guys?

Sounds about right birds euro = $$$$

If she had to replace the rear bar it'd be a different story and I'd agree with you, but this is just a respray, should be no more expensive to work on than Jap or Aussie car. They won't get it repaired anyway, they'll just pocket the cash. Thinking of offering them $350 to bugger off.

How much cheaper?

Break it to him by slapping sense into him and buy a Skyline - gearboxes doesn't break into pieces on stock power in Skylines.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
