There is no policy that could produce that sort of result; what I term the idealist/utopian corner.

This explains a lot of Greg's car troubles - he's a fkin dreamer!

I did the most recent one (wasn't 2013) and I finished up in the top right corner.

I am the 0.000001%?

Was aiming to be part of the curve... Spun a bearing and a wheel exploded, spun out and ended up in a busstop / top right of graph.

Because Greg.

Talk about decadent

What about the times when you used the word "gay" in jest within conversations.

Now realising that it would have been many bad feels for him.

You telling me the man who try to put a rubber fist in your anus was a ho... ho... ho... homosexual?

Your change management has no place in our altered state of friendship

What about all the times he told me he thought some chick was hot - lies, all lies

FYI he used the homo words in casual convo too. I'm thinking he was in denial (now he's inda anal) or just wanted to fit in (oh god with the puns)

Recently found out my friend came out of the closet although he hasn't publicised it & probably thinks I don't know.

I can either confront him, apologise for any in-jest comments & make the situation awkward, or wait until he mentions it & either pretend or admit I knew to which I would have to apologise & make the situation awkward...

Im sure there is some tv series which has addressed this issue. Not that there is anything wrong with it.

Unless he's feeling awkward about it and calls you up on it, I see no reason to make a thing out of it. Unless he's an egocentric flamin mongrel he's probably also aware that you might be feeling awkward about your in jest comments over the years. My personal view outside of the humour I post in here is that sexuality doesn't change what that person is to me, no more so than what kinky things a heterosexual person does with their wife in their own time that's also of no consequence to me. Sexuality is just another characteristic of the person - skin colour, big ears, tall or short, shy, intelligent or dumb. I therefore don't believe it should be off limits for jokes or mucking around. My brother is gay and I still pay him out with those words on occasion, not because he's gay but because I'd say them to anyone else too. Him coming out doesn't change this because I don't think sexuality should impact or change how you treat someone either. If he said that it offended him, I would be more sensitive to it around him just like I would anything else I say that offends people.

But I would probably also engage in a discussion about my other view on gay slurs in casual conversation: I think that once upon a time they were used exclusively as an insult with the implied connotation that a homosexual was inferior or different in an unacceptable way (and sometimes still are used this way), however the more common use of these words as insults these days, particularly amongst teenage guys, has its own meaning which is far removed from the gay bashing it used to be. Consider that many teenagers using such words don't even know the full extent of their meaning. This is why I'm not apologetic for any instance of using such words when my intention is not to hate on gays.

However - like anything else I say, if someone were to take offence I might be more sensitive about it afterwards (after explaining my viewpoint), not because I necessarily agree with them, but simply because I'm not a total flamin mongrel and I'm more for keeping the peace.

I also wouldn't retrospectively apologise for what I've said not knowing they have taken offence to it - if someone takes offence to something at the time, the it is up to them to call you up on it then and there, or else they are more or less condoning it to continue by way of you thinking they are okay with it. People can't change if you don't give them opportunity to or the boundaries to play in. I might be more sensitive towards a topic from there on if someone has made it clear they are offended by it, but certainly wouldn't feel I've wronged them in the past.

tl;dr: I don't hate fags

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
