Good stuff on edge, you can do it

Yeah I guess they are Yo-Yo I had the same thing happen, I was like wtf!

judging by your post count & join date you may be unfamiliar with the back story around why?

You would be correct, care to fill me in?

not worth mentioning really, just a particular member who frequents the wasteland section starting threads about particular countries & smartarse admins/moderators whoever has the ability to filter certain words.

The first week will suck the most, if you can get that there's no reason you can't give up for good

The first week? That's actually not a bad philosophy for a person who has been hospitalized for over a week > goes home and thinks, "Sh!t I've done it for this long: I might as well throw the loose ones away whilst I'm at it"

Being read the 'riot act' in hospital helps too.

Still get patients who have to quit because their surgeons won't operate unless they've already quit.

My hubby an i cold the sphincter of the universe quit 5 weeks ago,iv'e tried many many times to give up.Been a smoker for 40 plus years,the thing that made it so easy this time was my feet turning purple.Those ads on the packets are true,3 days after i stopped my feet and toes back to the normal pink colour.If i can do it any one can.I wish all you peeps the best in giveing up the evil weed. :D

Lmoa :) I guess it fun to be a admin and have the power to do that

I am in the process of it. I quit cold bird years ago for 3 years.

This time I'll do the same but I have changed to rollies instead of tailors because you smoke a lot less; you never try and smoke while your driving etc.

This week I'll stop. Famous last words I guess lol.

Yes, as stated in Post #14, the filters contain ammonia to make the nicotine more addictive.

Tobacco companies are scum.

A patient that was booked in tomorrow to quit smoking, has just rung up and cancelled. Apparently he didn't realise that it was Melbourne Cup day.

At least some people know what their priorities are (- not).

mini-rant hehe...

Lol thats unbelievable

Well its 1 week since i quit!!!!! The worst is over!!! To be honest it was not bad at all!!! :D

So who's gonna take up the challenge next?

Well done son, keep it up! :cheers:

Take it from someone who's been there, persevere & you'll get to a stage where you'll wonder why you ever took it up in the first place.

I can now hang around a group of smokers & not get the slightest urge to light up even when offered, but it didn't happen overnight :thumbsup:

One day i realised i spent more than half my life - 21 out of 36 years smoking

I never tried to give up until i got scarring in he lungs , so i decided to give up and found a common thing with smokers

Smoking gives the emotional swing from high to low , if you do give up unfortunately you remain feeling down for at least a year , but you health will improve , i think this is what makes smoking so hard to give up .

The novelty was to start doing everything in life without smoking , driving a car to work , go on holidays , not having a smoke for breakfast , play sport , drink beer and of course not buying any cigarettes ?

What feels great is breaking all the habits, not just one habit !!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps biggrin.gif

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
