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.

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!

Everyone always wants moar money

How many hours you do a week Alex?

I'm pretty much a relaxing 8:30-5p.m

If it gets busy I might stay back to 6 at the latest

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
