nothing like working your power out by something that you cannot accurately measure..

It's binary and measurable...you're either in front of someone or you're not. Heaps more relevant to the real world use of most of these cars than the idiots throwing dyno figures at each other or trying to run 400kw through stretched ling longs.

That's cool, they've replaced cheap disposable lighters you can store in your cigarette pack with a lighter-sized conjoint twin obstrusion for your phone that depends on its battery, just to rule out something for you to do when your phone battery is dead

What pocket space, your phone now takes up more

88E is stalemate at the moment it seems...anticipation peaked, everyone holding their positions now until news

Spend enough time on there and you learn to weed out the cheersquadding and downramping. The former is useful for at least making you feel good about your shares but the really useful info is few and far between - good in depth analysis of fundamentals, some technical analysis (even though I don't really believe in that), people who can translate technical jargon into lamens terms for you.

What I think HC is most useful for is discovering volatile stocks (usually the most discussed) that will have movement whether up or down. This is what you want if you're trading short term.

My dad is trying to get me into options... That shit is a bit complicated, but seems if you make a good call you can essentially make money without committing to buying shares to spending much moolah.

Options 101

Options are good if you believe in the company's medium to long term success, but want to minimise risk investing in it, as they reduce the capital required to hold a given number of shares. They also allow you to take on a larger position with the same capital you would ordinarily have spent on shares.

Just like heads (regular shares), they can be bought and sold for a profit without actually ever converting the option into a head. They will usually trail behind the price of the heads by around the cost of conversion. 88e had options that cost 2 cents each to convert and were once traded for 0.1 cents. Convert to a head and each share has cost you 2.1 cents... = 250% profit if you sold at today's prices.

The two big downsides to options are 1. You have to come up with the capital/cost to convert the option into a share (not a huge problem, as you're usually converting an option because it will make you money, but a speed bump nonetheless), and 2. A time sensitive risk. Most options have an expiry date, so if the option has not been worth converting to a head in the meantime and it expires...so too does your money/investment.

Hope that helps!

thnx m8. ill just wait for 88E to hit 18c (which should be next week).

 

in the mean time. Moh, buy these for the Stag.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
