Can anyone recommend a place in sydney to install alarm? Probably will look at vipers or this one

Best to PM Chris Rogers mate, he's in Brisbane but i'm sure he will know someone in Sydney. Considering i'm in Mackay and he hooked me up with someone local :P

still deciding if its worth the effort myself. external keypad is definitely asking for trouble. a can of freeze it would do nicely on it and render it prettymuch useless. bit of dirt across the pad too many times would reveal the sequence into it.

as for ADR - are you kidding??

Definitely appears impressive but I'm with Chris on this one. Anything which leaves the control system vulnerable to being messed with by anyone other than you is not a secure thing. It's not like you're using an RFID swipe card or something. I wouldn't waste my time with it.

I've got a Viper 5904 on its way from the US along with the XpressKit DBALL interface, tilt and perimeter sensors. I used to have a Clifford Avantguard G4 in my old Maxima with the remote start and that was a fantastic unit but I decided against installing that in my V36 even though the Viper doesn't have the anti-carjacking feature. It was more about simplicity of the installation which an old legacy unit like the Clifford didn't seem appropriate. I don't care much for the SmartStart thing with the iPhone though. A remote key fob is more than enough for me.

And yes, forget about ADRs. Just use the remote start wisely (i.e. Don't start it in front of the police!).

Been doing a bit of reading on this and you can choose not to have the keypad hooked up at all or place it in a more conspicuous location... say glove compartment. Am really curious about this bit of kit... may go ahead with it... maybe... hmm...

Spoke to Chris a little earlier. Fk this idea. Too much can go wrong.

It's kind of like when people buy flashy phones but can't make calls because of no signal or whatever.

This alarm looks flashy and awesome but security really isn't there. So no thank you.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
