gym to get fit... it's not a dick measuring contest. fk weights

Weights will get you fit too... In tandem probably best bet imo. Unless you just want mad endurance or something :S

I dont see why the government needs to throw cash to try and keep a failing company afloat. The industry has had many years warning to shape-up and change and they have done too litle too late. Territory was successful, but need some serious movers and shakers by that point. They played it 'safe' and now theyre bust. I do feel for the employees though, government money should go towards them and not ford (if there was an option and government were gonna splash the cash anyway)

My reasoning is 2 fold...

1) I give no farks for weights or impressing people with what I can lift

2) I have fkd knees and left elbow, so i'm pretty restricted on what i can lift.

I might do some core stuff eventually, but really I just want to get fit

Well said.

At least the employees have a decent amount of time to secure new employment in this instance.

ford shutting down production in aus.. if government gave them as much as they did holden that may not happen..

If they made decent (smaller) cars for a reasonable price that people liked the look of, they wouldn't be going under.

Toyota can't make enough FT86's... Styling must be the key. I doubt other manufacturers will learn from Ford's mistakes though.

Ghost camera wont arrive before sandown... delays due to tornado. Forcast is slightly improving for weekend... itching for some track action. Passenger bucket seat is almost ready :)

..work...going...too...slow...

Had a photoshoot.

Strength training makes you fit and shreds fat.

Ford Australia going under has more to do with local product struggling to compete against conglomerate manufacturers in other countries employing people to work for SFA and...in the grand scheme of things...the mentality behind you buying your shit from "eBay anywhere but Australia" because it's the cheapest you can get it.

In saying that I'll be having macca's for lunch

I had a Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich, with Cheese, and ham, and tomato relish....

Ok, so it was pretty much a parma sandwich. I'm alright with this.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
