Nothing. You're off the grid. The absolute freedom and ability to do anything you've ever dreamed of is so infinite and full of potential for regret that you will ultimately end up falling into a daily routine of nothing because of your overwhelming choice.

yup. wake, tv/xbox, eat, tv/xbox, eat, sleep, repeat.

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.

got something lined up mate? i know a joint where you can get manual work if you need anything to tide you over.

Yeah I'll have something soon. Just been trying for jobs I want rather than jobs I can get!

Got a screwed shoulder, so will be sticking to desk jockey shit. I actually miss manual labour. Cheers!

The time off isn't all bad. Gives you a whole different perspective on life/work and some realisation about the self. Certainly see how much people depend on their jobs to define their lives!

Cool! Still, dat mid mount engine...seems like pain in the ass to work on.

Other than that, you got an awesome all rounder and better looking than the Carrera IMO. Older models still look good and the S isn't too bad on price.

cayman better than carrera? trippin son!

This! Certainly don't like it when people change themselves to suit the job, as in their personal likes/hobbies etc.... despite them not liking it. It's all a facade imo!

I'll get the oven ready, how do you like your tea? Special milk? ;-)

lol yup...you don't realise how much most people just whinge about their job, including your former self, until you don't have it anymore. Give up their youth and sanity for some of the worst jobs, but depend on it for their identity. And then dead before they know it!

Best job I ever worked was 4 days a week. Not just a shorter working week, but a longer weekend. That was proper living!

thats fine provided the $$$ are there to sustain the standard of living you desire, I'm yet to find anyone who walks the ultimate balance of lifestyle and income ideally 80-100k 5 days a week 9-5pm would be the absolute ideal situation however not sure how likely that is for most people.

Farking wish my part timer was a 9-5, I'd be rolling in it with less stress than a supermarket shelf stacker.

You're right though, unless you're lucky it's difficult to have a baller lifestyle without the high hours job to go with it. Sometimes it just ain't worth it though...my mate must be on close to 120 now and he's the most depressed, stressed out, time lacking person with no social life. He's setting himself up well for the future, but fark, if you're 40 before you start having any fun or time to yourself, I don't want any part of it! Think he's close to quitting!

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
