I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Residual value usually

driving through toorak & hawksburn reguarly when I lived in Burnley... would often see a lot of P-platers that were clearly 18th or 21st presents. saw a chick on red-p's once with the plates 18BDAY or something as gay as that on a 125i convertible. blaring something similar to Vanessa Carltons 1000 Miles. couldnt have gotten any more steretypical.

Any of you blokes who roll guards had to deal with lips that have been very very poorly smacked with a hammer? Unsure how to go about fixing it without pushing the outside of the panel about unevenly :/

You don't mess with club reg as it is your club and your friends that suffer if you get caught.

I will need it for approx 40 days for childcare pickups and 50 days if whatever I want (less 4 for attending club events) so that leaves me with a day a weekend legit driving (roughly)

You should be right; I imagine you'll be driving places the police have never heard of before

Ahhhh hipster jokes, they never get old...until someone else has heard them

So on topic of the FIFOs earning shitloads and throwing away their money, I met a couple on the weekend in WA

One asked me what I earn and then said he wasn't going to tell me what he earned, because I wouldn't want to know. I laughed and then he told me what he earned anyway, which was nice of him to do that. He bragged about taking home 12k in one month and pissing away 11k of it...which leaves him about on par with a 15 year old casual shelf stacker. Also expressed his concern about being able to pay back the remaining 15k of finance in his work ute...how the f**k? Then told me I should get into the mines. Thanks for the inspiration champ.

Pat I hope you are saving...

The best process is to stop being a bitch and just roll them

What do they usually spend it on?

Drugs & hookers? As there doesn't appear to be much to do in Perth

Have also heard that things are stupidly expensive up in mining towns... a $100 trolley of groceries can cost $150-200 in some towns up in queensland, purely because people have money from the mines... Pity about the "local" residents who can no longer afford to live in their own town anymore...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
