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).

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
