well i went to PTC Sydney yesterday and had an evaluation with Trent. I must say, top bloke, very knowledgeable, not judgmental and explains everything to you in detail.

He sorted a couple of issues that my younger brother was having out in about 30 seconds (particularly squatting) and in the session, young 17 year old 90kg Jack went from struggling to squat 70kg below the parallel to squatting 100kg almost ATG. My squat however went backwards, I got lower almost to ATG but only managed 70kg in the squat rack before form started to drop.

Also tweaked our bench to more of a strong man bench. I can speak now from experience a PVC pipe under your back whilst trying to bench sucks balls (I have the bruises to prove that), seems to have helped Jacks bench technique as well.

Finally we did some Deads, probably my new favorite exercise. Got to 100kg x 3 reps before form started to break. This was after he changed the entire way that I dead.

Trent has also recommended that we add in some leg press and lower back raises to help us with these main lifts and thinks we should go back in about 6 months for another quick session. If the gym wasn't so far away and I wasnt as busy as I am with work, uni, other sporting commitments and the girlfriend I would sign up in an instant. Really enjoyed the entire environment that I witnessed at the gym with all the guys there.

If TL:DR here is the summary, good session, good gym ended up lifting more and less. Would recommend anyone to have a session if they are unsure and will go back.

Very interesting. I should book a visit when my shoulder is better.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
