Why are limes so damn expesnive at the moment?

$10 p/kilo at the spudshed, or $1.20 each at coles (at about 100 grams each thats $12 p/kilo!)

What gives Perth?

I diy for my work / daily car but won't take risk for my 35 [emoji22] too complicated ! How did you go with fixing your door? Should we organise some fund raising car wash towards your door ?

I've been quoted $1000 to get it fixed which is going to take me about a month to get, mortgage and bills and what not. I'm not going to ask for donations or a fund-raiser for something like this, it's purely on me and my responsibility. That being said If anyone needs some odd jobs done or is willing to pay me to wash their cars I'd be delighted to... Or if some one would buy my subs/amp ahaha. Other than that the cars just benched until I can afford to fix it/change the tires.

Thanks for the thoughts though.

buy a tree and keep in a pot. the dwarf ones at bunnings are around $20-30 and dont grow very big.

graft a lemon branch onto a lime and have both fruit from the same tree

speaking of fruit ive now got orange, lemonade, pink lady, granny smith, mulberry and 2 Nashi trees in the ground

want apricot, cherry and a dwarf avocado tree next

Canningvale markets on Sunday mornings have better/healthier and cheaper fruit trees than Bunnings IMO

Or even Marangaroo on Saturday mornings.

i went up to guildford garden centre who seems to specialise in dwarf fruit trees for some of them

That's fine too =) Bunnings charges wayyyy too much for what you get. Just sayin

actually i shopped around a bit and i didnt think they were too bad,

i bought citrus from there and it was in good shape and $20 each for dwarfs

i only went to guildford cos they were the only ones who seem to do Nashi pears and their website shows stock levels which is handy

Hmm interesting. I have been looking at the plants there for ages and always found them to be quite pricey. Maybe I haven't been looking at fruit ones for awhile. Or the Bunnings near me is just shit with their quality of plants. Good to know about Guildford though, might take a look if they have anything I want hehe

$28 for a lime tree, if I kept it alive it would pay off.

How hard is it to graft a lemon branch on?

yeah fruit wise they are well priced and both bunnings in bunno they are in good shape. local nurseries dont do dwarfs

not sure how they compare with trees

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
