Everyone creaming their pants on facebook over a VF HSV Ute for $90,000.
Even comes with an aftermarket super charger and 2 speed power glide. Great for towing a jet ski.
500kws and custom drive shaft... What is that, like 100kws more than factory?

I think the utes had 340kw only the GTS sedan had 430kw 

Still slower than a tuned GS, funny when the ford GT with '350kw' made more rwkw than the 430kw HSV haha

My mates got an aftermarket charged ve gts, think the kit was around the $20k mark.. Makes 390-395rwkw I think he said... Didn't sound too impressive given the ls3 in his car was advertised as 317kw, 320 in mine... But mine with exhaust tune and cai are making around 280rwkw.. That's a '375' kit... 100kw loss sounds pretty high to me but maybe I've been out of the game too long..

 

 

Friend bought a property almost a year ago. single not-very-significant-income. House came with tenants, decides to let them stay instead of move in (sick of living at home, but who says no to rent).
He knew the tenants were filthy, no screening process because existing tenants (how does that work?). Not surprisingly they pay rent late, lately not paying at all. Real Estate doesnt notice, so he emails the agent. Few weeks pass, agent says "sorry lol been on holiday, whoops, lets get this sorted". Goes to the Tenancy Tribunal people and sits there waiting in queue.
Then talks to me about plan to use equity to buy another place in the near future. Have fun with that. meanwhile, miserable at parents place because sibling had a baby in a trifecta relationship (VWL-worthy SJW story that one) and the bread-winner wasnt a biological parent so when shit went down the parents got kicked out. Funny, but not funny.


We're still waiting on that trifecta story Liam.

A while ago I was googling to find the biggest/best quality CRT commercially available. and its like this 30" or something 4:3 behemoth. tables needing extra support to hold it up etc since it weighed in at like 40+kgs

Obviously older people and collectors wanted them so they fetched about $600 but no one ever wanted to cough up for postage (why are PC nerds usually poor? lack of career drive from disinterest in work? poor social skills to leave good impressions? poor body odour?)

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
