Only a liberal supporter would complain about having more public holidays....

No anyone who knows anything about how the world works would see it's not necessary puts pressure on business - the people who employ you no doubt.

Yep and having a day off work to relax and sink some piss releives pressure on everyone else - the people doing all the work no doubt

Besides alot of small businesses thrive on public holidays because everyone gets bored and goes shopping, or goes visiting small country towns and helping tourism..

So your point is now...less valid. :P

Spose your overlooking the fact the the people working have to be paid penalties (thanks unions) so in many cases small businesses don't bother opening as its not financially worth it. So instead of making $15 an hour the law says they must make $30 (or more) so boss says fk it won't open and guess who actually loses out? The casuals & employees who get nothing despite the fact they might have been happy to get $15... This is why I dislike unions.

The people doing all the work as you put it get plenty of R&R what about the boss what do they get? All the money you'll say but speak to small business ask them how they are doing you'll be mightily surprised.

Side note dominated political studies & legal studies and I didn't go to a public school so it's unlikely I had labor voters teaching me.

I'm.not an idiot Alex...And our family has a number of small.businesses and yes they work very hard 7days a week..too hard some would say

And here I think inlies part of the problem...too.many people are working far too hard and need to take more time for RnR...

But that is a choice they make when starting a small business, And the only reason people start a small business is the hope it will one day be a big business...but not everyone can have a big business can they?...If you want to do they hard yards in hope tho go for it...But you have to look after the other guys as well, the guy who is just working ti feed his family and has no desire to have a big business..

Anyway, you keep cracking your whip and being a slave to the dollar if that is your prerogative...I just want another day off work and I dont care if I have to pay for it. ;)

And see here inlies another problem with small businesses...too many of them get overwhelmed..they try to take on too much work instead of taking enough to survive

.

Them the job suffers, the employees suffer and ultimately they end up workmg too hard for nothing..

Then they turn and blame things like public holidays and the government for their downfall..

99% of small business aren't striving to be big business though just families and cafes trying to get by im sure your family would know all about it having small business.

Anyway, I'm gunna put my fingers in.my ears now....lallalallalallalala...

I want more public holidays, ain't nothing you say gunna change that... :nyaanyaa:

Geez and they call me old man...school, work....its all things we do out of necessity...

But dont worry, I'm.nit all fun and games..I didn't approve that big tunnel they wanted to build...

I mean it was supercool and all..but there is many more economical ways to solve our traffic issues..

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
