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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
