LOL That 'harroooo' intro cracked me up, please put on that accent and ask stupid questions at karting!

5 Hours sleep then an hour drive for me.... sucks that you guys are all over in the east. :angry:

Makes me wish I was a paid member :(

Oh well. Gonna play some tennis & squash today, woo.

Who needs go karts! (I do :( )

Given it was opened to the public, that's not much of an excuse :-P

Though that reminds me, my renewal pack hasn't arrived yet

and i'm sure the teeth were the first things you noticed though....

not exactly surprising when each pic has a colgate product in it. and you know the pic to be from colgate....

i'm guessing i'm supposed to be all like "WOAH I didn't even NOTICE that stuff cos all I saw was his TEETH! WOOOOOW teeth are important to looks! I'd better go buy some colgate products NOW!

All the people with extra/missing parts on the other hand are thinking "FARK better leave that shit in my teeth so no one will notice my extra penis"

I come seeking wasteland advice on a neighborly dispute I'm currently having.

Myself and a friend moved into an apartment about 4 months ago and we noticed that the people who live above us often empty buckets of water onto the floor of their balcony, which quickly seeps through the floor and ends up on our belongings. ($200 barbeque, $300 furniture set & an $800 wooden foosball table imported from Italy.)

There have been a few occasions when we were outside and they have done this and our stuff and ourselves have gotten wet. We have tried to yell out to them to ask them to stop, but here's the catch... They are deaf.

Last night after being out with some friends I came home at about 2am and there was water going everywhere all over our balcony. All of our stuff was getting really soaked. At this point I wrote a note saying "Hello, could you please stop emptying your water onto our balcony? It is damaging our belongings that are below you. Thank you." and put it under their door.

This morning I had a note under my door saying "Hi, sorry, it's our toddler's little pool used during heatwaves. Move your things in a bit! If it was lashing rain, same thing would happen! We only did it twice and we only empty the pool over night so take your things inside or move stuff further."

The thing is it has not been hot for days, our balcony is tiny so we can't move stuff over and I can't take the foosball table apart to fit it through the door every time they decide to empty a pool onto us. I have a feeling that if I try talk to them in person they will ignore us because they are deaf and not very friendly. I have a feeling that if I write another letter explaining I can't simply move our stuff and it has not been wet when it has been lashing rain it may start a cat fight.

How would fellow wastelanders deal with this same situation?

DubAddiction just off prinny in one of the factory parts

Have a website too but on my mobile so cbf linking

Most of the golf guys catch up there

site looks like a great place to shop for overpriced parts.

seriously? it costs me less to ship the same stuff direct from the US from ECS or UroTuning etc. And when they have a sale, way less. Hell even from the UK and Germany is less.

I guess the appeal is in the meet up spot?

    • 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.
