Neck and neck with a 993 turbo, very slowly gaining on him

That was awesome, prolly would have got him good if I used 3rd instead of 4th

Old Jewish guy, just kept looking straight ahead, he didn't wanna look at me hahaha

As a rule of thumb, it is approximately 45 minutes before you begin sinking beers with us

Hope so, but knowing my luck it'll be around when it starts or after being Shanghai is 3 hours behind atm

Tony can speak Vu though

The rest of us will get shafted :P

But yeah plus 1 for mixed reviews have heard good and bad but I'll prolly end up chancing it when I respray mine because 20 year old car

Vu himself says he sprays accordingly with your budget - if you want a $7000 job it will look $7000, if you want a $3000 job he will do that too but don't expect it to look like a Continental GT

Fkin uncle

Did lol

if i wanted a 3 tonne land barge i probably would get a nissan patrol or something.

however if i wanted a sub-2 tonne land yacht (and i did) i got the gloria currently sitting in my driveway :D looking dirty like its on its way to Naru detention centre. straight off the boat.

took my friends 10mins to work out where the button for the fuel cap is. lolz.

Looking good man, not to long till it's rego'd and mods start :P

That changes very quickly...

Still remember first time I rode a bike on the road, sitting alongside a car was tripping me out. Didn't feel right being so naked and open going as fast as a car. Of course it might have helped if I was wearing clothes.

But soon speeds will feel slower on the bike than they do in cars, and then when you get a big bike you can blur time with a twist of the hand.

Booking in a track day at PI in December / early Jan.

Doing Broadford on the 14th, CSS at PI on the 15th...Might try get another PI track day in before thailand, then try get a few more in in Jan when I get back, before going back to work in Feb

That's a lot of bike riding Monica

Including Thailand

Yeh riding next to traffic freaked me out abit today. I havnt really gotten the hang of being able to see everything behind me yet..

Try tucking elbows in and point the mirrors more inward too...it's odd because the more you point mirrors in, the more you will see of yourself in them, but it still gives you a better angle to view what is directly behind you - sort of quality over quantity. You don't really need mirrors anyway, just headcheck everything, it's the safest way IMO. Rubberneckin' baby.

That's a lot of track riding. I want to do CSS but they are pretty booked out for now. Gonna just wing it at a track day and prolly break some lap records if they're lucky #46

Best way is just go fast enough you don't need to look behind

I don't think I've touched the road bike since I got the dirt bike #FIFO #needmalloo

Tyres down to the wires :( gonna need some new ones soon pretty sketchy in the wet today, think I'll just get some cheap shit

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
