Oooeerrs. Yes please. I still have those black lobsters in the freezer for you also

Morning all
Got to see Ash Grunwald in Freo last night, tearing it up with a drummer and a couple of the finest local blues legends ever, was an awesome night, and will give a massive thumbs up to the freo port garden bar, never been there before and its carrying on freos live music culture in the best way!
Nothing better than going to a killer gig and at the end the artists step off stage straight into the crowd for beer and good times.
Awesomeness the buzzcocks done the same thing. Me and Peter Shelly, me and Steve diggels [emoji32]. Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with. Check them out. The only seminal u.k. punk band still going from the late 70's they used to play that shit at the castle on the projector before we used too come on stage in the three stoned gnomes.

Just checking out some ash Grunwald. Man he's a animal on the steel/slide or I suppose anything with strings on it. Raspy unique voice too. ;-)

Did it get rained out? I could hear the cars from my house lol... it didnt happen to be the rotary power ute by any chance?

you never heard him before? Dude started off yeeeeeears ago on JJJ hosting the roots and all show. Has some pretty fkn epic percussion stuff going on too. I saw him at the Fly years ago, and his drummer had 2 kits, and a frame with car doors and flattened 44 gal drums hanging off it. Was mental

One wierd thing about Ash's gigs though, every single one I have been to there has never been any aggro, but every time without fail, there will end up being a mosh pit of pissed surfers declaring their love for one another at full fkn volume

 

Usually right after the fkn dolphin song

How’s the new job Dale?

So fkn good, I just handed my notice in :D

But srsly, its awesome to be back surrounded by people way smarter than me (this doesnt happen driving trucks...) but not so awesome with the industry volatility and how that affects the duration of your contract terms.

To this end, I have been offered a wad of cash (and a bit better security) to waddle my ass down to the west end of the city starting straight after easter.

 

Plus, no more fkn iron ore handling :woot:

Man I had 4 days off sick last week. [emoji21] was crazy. Middle ear infection that perforated the ear drum. Felt like 40psi in the skull and red hot needles being shoved through the ear hole into the brain. Went to gp Monday arvo and drove myself to emergency at 4am Wensday. 5 days of painkillers and antibiotics [emoji854][emoji43].


Slr5000 or bust
I didn't know you were a bogan? Comes with black or blue jeans white t-shirt DB's or Adidas Rome's (classy) and a pack of Winfield blues up the sleeve. On a lighter note. Beast is looking and running sweet. Manifold done. Windows reset and new tint[emoji4] looks like s cartoon car next to the ute.DSC_0158.JPGDSC_0159.JPGDSC_0160(1).JPG

Have blown both eardrums numerous times.

It sucks balls but on none of those occasions were they infected so yours must have been hell

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
