Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

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.

Mine have lasted me almost 5 years (despite the fact I need new prescription) and they don't live in their case... They live in the bottom of my gym bag, beach bag, Zanes car, my car, the bench, floor, study, back of the couch... If they aren't on my face they are strategically dropped somewhere... Worth the money!

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
