Fark, living solo costs a shit load. Everything is converted to wheel value.

Could have had plenty sets of nice jap rims -_-

Fridge & washing machine is a good set of rpf01's

sort of know that feel now, living by myself at home ATM while parents are travelling I like it

Pretty much my permanent situation. Folks are hardly home and were even talking about moving to elsewhere and leaving me the house = free house fkyeah.jpg

Currently house sitting for a mate in Carnegie at the moment, so I get to enjoy rent free loneliness for the next 3 weeks. Dat pasta every night haha

I cooked some ravioli last night, was delicious. Best thing is it'll last 2 days being just you.

We don't have a dish washer though, dat washing up every time feel :( #firstworldproblems

Did 1000 steps tonight pretty farken hard, didn't stop I guess this time.

I've got no problems doing the washing up when you're by yourself... When you're cooking dinner most nights, there's a bunch of waiting around in the kitchen when it can be done anyway... few dishes at a time and it's done and away...

Better than a dishwasher that's got dirty plates sitting in it for 5+ days getting stinky as hell because it's not getting full fast enough...

what if it means driving 50kms?

Mini road trip yo.

Hey guys I finished off my RSR's at DECA over the weekend... going to go out now and chuck my 17's on for the time being...

Any ideas what I should be looking for (rear only, fronts are still pretty good)...

I've got a quote for 2 x 265/35/18 RS-R from OTR for $260 each, fitted and balanced to Off-Car rims... In stock now...

Anything else I should be looking at for ~270rwkw...I do ~350km/week in peak hour, so something that won't just be burning money while rolling along would be nice, but grippy enough too... I don't want it breaking free in 2nd in the dry without a clutch kick or massively hard shift...

I was very happy with the dry grip from the RS-R's but I wasn't real happy with the wear rate and I've been told they go off pretty quickly when you track them

Edit: 255 18's are also a possibility, 265's on my BBS rims (9.5") have got a little bulge so could easily drop a cm of width......

Aldi has washing machine this week, 399.

I get paid weekly, so I convert car parts to weeks

lol my standard go to meal, so easy and lasts days. I also love a big fk off 2kg lasagne you can keep reheating.

And yeah, mate doesn't have a dishwasher either, gonna first world sook it up.

Should come crash there one night, it's 10 mins from your work!

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
