You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

lol solar never pays it self off. There is no storage in the system, only sell back when there is excess. and when the sun is shining during the morning/afternoon thats the lowest rate of payment. Electricity costs more at night and your solar panels arent doing much then.

But can I bring myself into a fast ford with a slushbox?

I guess I'll have to find one to drive and see how I feel about that.

Feed in rate is 31 cents, which would be ~6 cents more than most people are paying per kWh to buy from their provider

No storage does hurt the effectiveness of the whole thing, but if you're feeding in an excess all day because you're not home and don't have anything running, then in theory as long as you use less at night than you fed in during the day, you'll be in front.

You're still buying from them for whatever you use at night, but at less than what you were getting feeding in during the day

my old man was saying something about a cap in terms of how many hours you can feed. I dont think its 6am - 6pm of constant feeding into the system? check the fine print or ask the sales person. There's something shifty about it which they dont speak of else my dad would have got a ready made kit instead of trying to build his own...

Yeah I don't know how it all works and how much a system is capable of feeding back in, but it says you're eligible for the tarrif as long as you have a 5kw or less system, and don't use more than 100,000kWh per year, which I don't think any house would even go close to (just assuming)

My parents went ahead and got it without researching too much, so I'm trying to find out all I can now to see if it's worth it or not, and hope there's a cooling off period (it's not installed yet)

Good gearbox and a grownup car :P remember you can slap any turbo you like on it and the 4l will spool it with ease

Best part of all you don't get treated like a wanted criminal and insurance isn't a buttrape

I don't want to grow up at all!

I never had issues getting reamed by cops, it's just that insurance decided to rape me as their 'welcome back' present!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
