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...

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
