I honestly reckon it does, at least the older Carreras...they have FAT asses. The Cayman is tidy as. And it's definitely better looking than the Boxster!!!

so is a cat's asshole.. what's your point?

Who sacked ya?

east coast mothafu[/]cker

and don;t say both, last time I did the ring and oktoberfest same weekend, left me a broken man...

its easy... fly into schipol friday morning get on it. drive to nurberg saturday leisurely drive, (or fly to koeln) do the track sunday. fly out of koeln sunday.

ive done it, but i lived in england at the time, much easier (and cheaper)

I'll be based out of Stuttgart, so none of it difficult, but if I go to Amsterdam want a night there at least.

nurburgring is a full day, last left stuttgart 7 and got back around 10-11 at night,

so only really feasible to do one of them.

guess could fly in a day early but will only be home from honeymoon for a few days b4 I have to fly out as it is..

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!

yeh its a double edge sword, one thing is for sure at some point in your life your going to have to work hard to acheive anything so either you do it young set up for the future and enjoy the fruits of your labour down the track, or you have a great youth travel care free but when 30+ age wise hits you'll be like oh shit i cant afford a roof over my head (the lifestyle they thought was just going to happen)

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

hard to say man it really varies I'm fairly established now and mainly do 5 days with friday/sunday off (by appointment only) but i guess id be 50hours minimum a week

also should have mentioned for the educated 80-100k 5 days a week 9-5pm is quite achievable but the plethora of uneducated have no hope in hell.

When I was in uni I had a goal of earning over $100K p.a. before I was 30

In saying that apparently the average Australian wage is $73,000p.a which is quite surprising

Ill see if I can find the average median wage

Median wage for 2012 I think is about $50,000

Or $60,000 for full time employees

Still quite high imo

You can live quite comfortably if you were a couple on $60k each. That's if you dont have a big arse mortgage

Average wage is a rort.... It is skewed by high income earners and not corrected by people on negative income

Median wage is just over $50k which seems somewhat legit.

FWIW the average wage in ACT is $85k (no prize in guessing why)

not a smoker myself.

with the clearances I need for work there would go my job.

but figured it has to be an ok town for a short trip.

infact I was planning on watching Anthony bourdain's the layover for Amsterdam tonight!

So true though. I respect people under 25 who work hard (and those that have mortgages) but the sacrifices made... goddamn. Friend of mine was the biggest tight-ass all high school, planned to buy a house. Left school at 17, apprentice carpenter, worked 3-4 shifts a week at VideoEzy after hours. Bought a small townhouse at 19-20, the next 2 years' wage paid off purely interest. Then decided he wanted to have some fun and bought a jetski :|

23-24 now, still lives at home and works two jobs. Mortgage, car repayments and possibly jetski repayments. Yeah, ill pass thanks.

Plethora of uneducated people? try plethora of university graduates fighting for any job ina few years.

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.

I had this but gave it up for experience & challenge

Nothing worse than being bored/comfortable at work within your peak years. This is the time to explore, challenge and make mistakes.

Work to live or live to work.

I prefer to be challenged at work as long as its paid well. Hence why I'm off to the mines.

9days @ 12hrs & 5 days off.

Come at me brah

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
