I was in a meeting yesterday with civil engineers talking about how to dispose of oil an PCB contaminated soil. if te tests come up ok, they can mix it with 2% concrete and bury it :/

on a side note, I got a message from a pulsar guy that he is currently importing a GTiR long motor from Japan that has been built with tomei parts and strokes to 2.2, and would sell it to me if I want it...

i remember doing an environmental module, about bio remediation on oil and pcb contaminated soils, not sure about the mechanics of the whole process as you know how uni modules are, they just scratch the surface and give you a degree at the end of it all, knowing not much more than before enrolment.

that's what I liked about TAFE, rather than spending countless hours over the time of the course learning about how formulas transcribes to what we want to do with it, they just gave us the formula and said now apply to these scenarios... dodged a lot of calculus. we all walked away saying I can do that, but I can't tell you why it works

Lotus Exige S - V6 Supercharged ; 258kw @ 1100kg ; 0-100 in 3.8s

$140,000 - worth the money? /discuss

so assuming 220rwkw @ 1100kg = approx 200rwkw/tonne

my view is that the 200rwkw / tonne is the power to weight milestone a car needs to reach to be in the serious fun zone....

equivalent in other cars people will be able to relate to:

ke70 - 160rwkw

mx5 - 200rwkw

s chassis - 250rwkw

gtst - 270rwkw

evo - 280awkw

gtr - 300rwkw

recent v8 falcodore - 360rwkw

I'd say yes, it will be extreme fun and decent value compared to itallian offerings, but nothing i'd look into.

considering what you could have for a track day for $140k its bad value.

and no i wouldn't even dream of using one for a daily/track car

in b4 leigh dickbags on about v8 torque and how this somehow makes up for the car weighing more than the third moon of jupiter

(every one of those cars has a unique feature that puts them ahead of the others in some way, which is why i chose them)

oh haha, thought there was more to it. Like Leigh being denied warranty for breaking something.

Ford built tuff! (hopefully don't break anything next week at the drags)

long live teh GT

don't speak too soon.. the GS came from factory with a dicky water pump that will probably need replacing

i'm not even planning to go for graduation.

from all accounts, its just a pointless waste of time sweltering in a hot and humid hall.

I didn't originally plan on going, but knew I would regret it later. and keeps family happy

Fkn aye!

Found out I don't need a VIV certificate to register my car as there is a 15 year exemption for it

Dat benefit of owning an old car lol

17 years here brah

2pac was still alive when my car was new shiiiit

Alvin, any luck with grad positions?
Got nothing from my end..... :unsure:

This is why I like to ask people how and why it works, just for the lolz. hahaha

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
