How frowned upon is taking a few sickies in notice period? lol

Keeping in mind old and new workplace are somewhat affiliated.

if you going to, be sure to back it up with a med cert cause it sure looks planned/dodgy...

Never good to burn bridges when moving jobs.

I'd rather get stabbed in my sleep than stabbed in the real world

Dream people can't really hurt you

That's what people thought till Freddy Krueger killed them in their dreams

Frowned upon, if their dicks just do jack shit at work lol

Is the sick day going to be on Monday? When apparently doctors offices are expecting a 1000% increase in visitors coming in for doctors certificates because the government has robbed them of a public holiday?

Compulsory medical certificates for 'sick leave' is the biggest waste of time. Probably clogs up 50% of the doctors office

Should just take it whenever you want, i mean if you take excess its going to unpaid/annual leave anyway

Yeah I think if we take a Monday or Friday or 2 in a row we need a cert.

I've had to fill out a stat dec TWICE because apparently they didn't believe I was sick. Shows how good this place is.

Lol what a waste of time

Because an employee is suddenly going to fill it out and say hang on i wasn't sick you got me. And if you have to get it certified, the other person is really going to know that you were sick on that day....

Get tune, million of comical errors happen.

Then lucky, Osaka imports open, and have the part I need that I spent many hours yesterday trying to get around.

Ace!

Drive there, obtain parts, two infact.

Correct issue with MAP sensor, so car actually running on flex fuel.

So good!

Test traction control, as it's wet outside. Working so well. So effective.

Listening to new album from favourite band, rocking out hard. Life is good. Great start to the day!

Then suddenly, kids run out infront of car. 1m (or what seemed like it) away.

Panic-brake, pull wheel in direction of "not someone's f**king kids", rear end loses it, end up mounting the kerb and parking on the nature strip in a very uncontrolled fashion.

Get out, yell at kids until they're crying because f**k SAKE.

not even my wheel

ffs

Totally because Greg.

Probably a better driver may have managed to countersteer and avoid the kerb, but man, panic braking means very little went through my head.

Still better than putting someone else' head through my front bar.

+1 funnies because its a borrowed rim, which means mine is fine...

I think it's repairable. Just looks like a lot of gutter rash. I do mean a *lot*. It isn't buckled, so I mean hey that's good.. I guess..

Guess whos' booking an alignment, though!

Any pro tips re: Wheel fixers? I asked Alvin as he got my wheels I sold to him repaired and fixed and repainted but no reply because reasons.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
