I agree with the parents on this one. It really should not be sold. And this is coming from someone that drinks spirits regularly and can handle rectified spirit without issues.

It's just not worth the risk

What the f**k Martin your whole life is just a whirlwind of upgrades.

well flights andsuch it's a little expected at my travel level

this one was out of the blue however as I'm not even in their loyalty program,

If all we have on record in Australia is one death from spirytus, then it's not doing too badly considering the poisoning and destruction that alcohol on the whole causes to lives and families.

I'm with Darwin on this. People kill themselves with beer and a steering wheel...we won't be seeing that get banned anytime soon, cause tax and the whole "few who spoil it for the many" argument.

I thankfully missed the DECA when Spirytus came out and it was bad times for everyone...

I've had strong stuff in the past, whenever my body says "NO!!!" it just throws it up (Absinthe etc). I wouldn't have thought that only a 2 shots would be enough to kill... make incredibly drunk and sick, yes... but that said she did already have other drinks in her stomach.

I think you'll find drink driving is actually illegal.

It isn't, which is why the drink is a scapegoat in a sensationalist story that should be about irresponsible drinking instead

No blame for the fk wits who kept handing her alcohol or the girl herself

It's irresponsible, sure, but I would wager that the people drinking it had no idea of the lethality of the drink.

If you can you know, accidentally kill yourself with it, then there needs to be some kind of control as to how it's procured. It's a lot harder to literally kill yourself with VB.

According to Nicole’s grieving family, the Thornlie teen only had a few mixed drinks over the course of the evening when she was offered the spirit by a male friend. A few hours later, she was dead.

Not sure if they're trying to imply that males are irresponsible and they are the cause for her death, or if he was planning on sexually assaulting her, because he was male, and that's what all males do...

f**king men.

Nothing accidental about ingesting copious amounts of alcohol

They teach kids about the dangers of alcohol in school still don't they?

It's about as accidental as pushing a kitchen knife into your stomach

The only thing worse would have been receiving the dangerous drink from a pod filter

never taught us about booze..

but was proper redneck culture, so if you not tanked on a friday then they question your sexuality and beat you up.

less than you wold expect, it is 70 return trips from perth to the mines .

you need to be doing serious flying in higher than economy to make it, else stupids amounts in cattle class.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
