Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I know the feeling. Expensive glasses are expensive.

Zane knows the feeling too... He paid half of mine... That's how much he loves me aaaand didn't want me driving around without them...

So much talk about brakes in the last two weeks

We are trying to differentiate between Nick and you. In the red corner: The one with brains who can stop and in the orange corner: Gat-Ton with an X.

With my current setup i dont think "Brain" and "can stop" should be used

Lol! Who are they by?

learn to buy your glasses online rather than through the rip off stores here locally, a pair of glasses is not worth $500

friend has got 7 pairs from them, and paid less than $300, if they break who cares as they are only $40 shipped for a decent pair of prescription glasses, you just scan your glasses prescription and they make the lenses to suit.

The lenses are the most expensive part of glasses I have found, mind you I have stupid multifocals...

Actually, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. When you consider the fact that they are created using proper design elements and actually shift a lot of the normal paradigms. This level of creativity and intellectual property is worth money. You pay for the fact that 2-5 years later (even less in this day and age), someone will copy it, make it out of cheaper materials and proceed to sell it at a fraction of the cost. Hiring top level designers, manufacturers and professionals generally costs a lot of money. A lot of designs aren't successful. Shipping and distribution over here isn't cheap. Labour in first world countries isn't cheap.

For major peices, I will always buy genuine - not necessarily from a retail store here though. Things are cheaper in the states or UK if you know where to look however, buying hooky products is a no go for me. I buy brand name because of quality, R&D and presence - not for poser status. If you look in my wardrobe, you can see which suits are worth dollars and which are the cheapies (of which there is only 1).

So in short, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. A watch can be worth $10k. And if we want to encourage creative minds to constantly develop new shit for our consumption, we shouldn't bicker over a few dollars.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
