lol im so tired im missing words

haha, aaron im gonna take my time bro. fix the body work and then go sick on the motor.

before anybody says "ohh its not worth it bla bla"

i know it isnt.

can i drop by and grab some chillies?

Ye if you want, I've got more here ATM than i'll be able to eat in the next 5 days.

I was doing to string them up, dry them out and turn them into chilli flakes.

Much better than the supermarket ones :D

But the plants are still going berzerk so i'll have more in a couple weeks

nah erman the The land of goat sphincter rings flamin mongrel took the pic from his fail phone

alright guys.

what colour should i paint this thing?

i wouldnt mind just redoing the stock silver as it really is a nice colour, but johno mentioned the KN6 purpley grey which is tits.... cant decide!

partial to millenium jade

Unfortunately not.

It was hot... But not UBER hot like i was expecting.

Will use 7-8 chilli's next time. That'll sort it out i reckon.

what do they look like? they are probably a derivative of birdseye's as they are the most commonly grown hot chilli. and can get fairly hot

the scoville scale is the rating of chilli heat, based on the actual capsicain (active ingredient) found in the chilli

now keep in mind that PURE capsicain (ie the hottest thing on earth) = 16,000,000 scoville units

from what's generally available in this country there are:

jalapeno: around 4,000 SCU - roughly the same as tobasco

Singlejalapeno.jpg

long red: ~50,000 SCU great to use as you can smash HEAPS into food to get the chilli flovour without going to the heat of birdseyes

birdseye:: ~100,000 SCU hot

scud chilli (green thai chilli - prik) ~ 300,000 SCU (once had a dish at work with 40 of these and i could actually feel my stomach burning for about 30 mins after ) these guys are seriously hot

prik_ki_nu_m.jpg

habanero: - 500,000 SCU - the hottest i can eat straight (not fun) - and the main ingerdient in the best mexican hot sauce available - el yukateco! these guys have the best flavour of all the chilli's available, if you can get past the heat they have an amazing floral property to them. kinda hard to describe though

caribbean_habanero_pepper.jpg

from serious specialists you can get:

bhut joloka (ghost chilli) ~ 1,000,000 SCU i have not eaten one yet... and doubt i could hande a straight one, but am assuming i could have one in food as i have had sauce made from these, (and it was terrible, not just the heat... the taste!) this was the worlds hottest chilli for years.

Bhut-Naga-Jolokia.jpg

and finally...

The TRINIDAD SCORPION (Butch T pepper) - 1,400,000 SCU: 3 times the heat of a habanero... no fkn thanks! the worlds hottest chilli... grown in Australia.

and FWIW polce issue capsicum spray is usually around 3,000,000...

on a scoville scale they are just babies man ;)

Nope not birdseye, stronger than that. They look more like the Scud :)

Although they are much darker green than those pictures and some of them actually come out really short/red off the same plant.

Some do come out light green though like the picture, they aren't all that hot to me... BUT... Usually they are really dark green and have much more of a kick. Only 6-7 on my scale so i can certainly go hotter and have done so before.

Love going to Schuzuan House etc and ordering the "3-chilli" items on the menus. People jaw drop when i eat it without issues lol.

Love the spicy foods myself. Sichuan Dining Room in Hawthorn have some nice dishes.

Highly recommend you try these, Ash:

From memory they have habanero and jolokia extracts in them, though the website claims that some ingredients used have up to 2,000,000 SCU (maybe they use trinidad scorpions?). The first is quite warm, a pleasant heat for spicy lovers. The second one, is hot enough that you can't really enjoy the flavour...so I'd be interested to see what you think of it. It's bearable but not enjoyable IMO. One of my idiot friends scratched his eye after eating it...was tearing up for half an hour.

yeah, they'd be scuds...

they change colour through red, green and nearly black during their life cycle

we had a dish at MoPho that had 3 scuds snapped in half tossed through a sour thai pork pork belly salad....

the look on people's faces when they hit one was always hillarious!

Will try give them a whirl over the next month or so then :thumbsup:

Sounds like its right down my alley!

Haha I could imagine. If you weren't a seasoned chilli eater that would certainly catch you off guard.

we grew a few chilli plants back home, they came out, green, then turned black. then red. was hottest when black.

they died though, grandma cbf anymore. the okra and red snake beans all died too. the bananas are surviving, but my fruits keep getting stolen

All this chilli talk. I only enjoy eating mild chilli. As it adds some spice and flavour. Any hotter and i just taste burn rather than enjoying the flavours lol

its actually the same for me, i tolerate spicey, i can eat szechuan food and handle it, 3 chillis and all, but i dont enjoy it. dont really see the point.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
