lol solar never pays it self off. There is no storage in the system, only sell back when there is excess. and when the sun is shining during the morning/afternoon thats the lowest rate of payment. Electricity costs more at night and your solar panels arent doing much then.

There you go! and they go plenty fast, brembos stock too!

But can I bring myself into a fast ford with a slushbox?

I guess I'll have to find one to drive and see how I feel about that.

Feed in rate is 31 cents, which would be ~6 cents more than most people are paying per kWh to buy from their provider

No storage does hurt the effectiveness of the whole thing, but if you're feeding in an excess all day because you're not home and don't have anything running, then in theory as long as you use less at night than you fed in during the day, you'll be in front.

You're still buying from them for whatever you use at night, but at less than what you were getting feeding in during the day

my old man was saying something about a cap in terms of how many hours you can feed. I dont think its 6am - 6pm of constant feeding into the system? check the fine print or ask the sales person. There's something shifty about it which they dont speak of else my dad would have got a ready made kit instead of trying to build his own...

Yeah I don't know how it all works and how much a system is capable of feeding back in, but it says you're eligible for the tarrif as long as you have a 5kw or less system, and don't use more than 100,000kWh per year, which I don't think any house would even go close to (just assuming)

My parents went ahead and got it without researching too much, so I'm trying to find out all I can now to see if it's worth it or not, and hope there's a cooling off period (it's not installed yet)

Good gearbox and a grownup car :P remember you can slap any turbo you like on it and the 4l will spool it with ease

Best part of all you don't get treated like a wanted criminal and insurance isn't a buttrape

I don't want to grow up at all!

I never had issues getting reamed by cops, it's just that insurance decided to rape me as their 'welcome back' present!

i went to qld last weekend, and when i got back on monday, there were panels on the roof. had no idea it was happening

Similar to my parents 'sept I didn't get to go to QLD...

What system did your olds get and how much? (PM if you want)

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
