Im not sure about everyone

but there is something on the road that is starting to really damn annoy me and it must stop

Ill set the scene , I was lying on my couch today half asleep enjoying one of my last days of holidays. The sun was out the birds were making peaceful noises, I had a ice cold bourbon at my side and was in heaven

I then got a very rude awakening by a high pitched dull monotonous tune!

YES IT WAS THE evil mr whippy , for the Fifth FUc*ing time this week!

driving slowly up and down my street in a 1950's ice cream truck painted pink!

Does anyone else have to contend with this sort of menace, what do you suggest I should do , take out a restraining order against mr whippy???

your advice would be appreciated

i love the sound of Mr Whippy coming down the street reminds me of being a kid again ...... when i was little i used to get so excited over that sound and started concoting ideas about how to get $2 for an icecream out of my folks.

Nah sorry VOTE ONE WHIPPY!!!

LOL - this brings back memories of the Simpsons episode where Homer's goal in life is to be 300lb so he can work from home... At the end of the episode, Homer steals a ice cream van and drives it to the power plant to save the reactor.

Anyway, after he drives through the fence, all the staff jump on the ice cream van and try to order ice creams.. LOL

Anyway, you have to be there,

P.S. Isn't it funny how there's a Simpson's episode for every 'moment' in life :)

I went to the danny green boxng fight at couple of weeks back and when singing the national anthem it had more of a dance tune background music...

I'm thinking lets make a mr whippy drum N Bass remix or break beats remix of it.. with a few vocals...

"Put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air......"

Don't worry about the music comin out of his speaker worry about the sad arse engine that sucker is running.

If I were you id run out there and give him the low down on how to strap a bug mutha RB26DETT to that sucker, chuck on some nitto 555r's and rock that baby down the motorplex!!!!!!!!

Ohh yeah grab one of those sundae thingo's in the cup he sells, they taste mad!!!

lol

how bout "Put your hands up in the air.............if you want ice cream, Put your hands up in the air..............if you want ice cream"

the mr whippy song is called Greensleeves...... Dan I would buy a break-beats mix of that hahahaha

Whenever i hear the ice cream I think of Eddie Murphy in Delerious - ICCEEECREEAAMMM THE ICECREAM MAN IS COOOOMMMMMING. I've got an icecream and you cant have none, cause your dads an alcoholic and your on the welfare.... you cant afford it, you cant afford it. :)

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
