Because money and reliability?

No, because warranty and drivability.

Geez, do you even Stage mods?

Who had that awesome sig? "GTR offset is like saying Stage 2 mods: it means you are of the ghey"
I've heard all the stories, just think the ads are terrible. I also highly doubt the kind who act out violently towards those helping them are the type of rational minded people who will pay attention...not unlike domestic violence campaigning.


But people need to be made aware. It happens way too often. That, and the decline of people wanting and training to be paramedics because of the shit they have to deal with. They're out there to save lives, not fight assholes on drugs, or deal with the crackheads who want a lift to the shops. Yes there are people who call the ambo for lifts.

Preaching to the choir mate, I've dated nurses and my friends are paramedics...like I said, I've heard the stories. The narrative of the ads is "and this is how you treat me", not "how they treat me". Public awareness not going to stop ice addicts or the mentally ill from lashing out at people, angry family members etc. It's sadly always been part of the job and getting worse because of drugs etc. These are inherently violent people or not of sound mind. Money better spent on security measures to protect said people; equip them with the powers and tools to better deal with those situations IMO.

More fasts.

Will take it down the road for an Apr stage 1 flash in a few weeks.

 

Fiesta ST go alright

If my mrs had money shed get one (no im not buying her a car)

Are the number of hard drug-dependant users actually increasing?
I've never once thought to myself, wow, there are a lot more druggies here than 5-10years ago. And that's in the city, St kilda, morwell/moe, Collingwood, Frankston etc.

Edit: OK, done some digging.

Illicit drug hospital visits, see page 2: https://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/ndarc/resources/NDARC Drug Trends Hospital Bulletin 1993-2014.pdf
1993-2014. Amphetamine hospital visits have noticeably increased from 2010-2014. The increase visits were from dependence. The small rise in Cannabis hospital stays was also from dependence. Everything else was fairly stable. Peak in opioid hospital stays in 1997-2000 was mostly from poisoning. Well there ya go.

 

National Drug Household Survey: http://www.aihw.gov.au/alcohol-and-other-drugs/data-sources/ndshs-2016/key-findings/

All drug usage from 2001-2016 is down. However, survey was only done by like 24,000 people, and not sure if that was 2001 or 2016 or combined. Anyway, interestingly, "People’s perceptions of meth/amphetamines changed considerably between 2013 and 2016. Australians now consider meth/amphetamines to be more of concern than any other drug (including alcohol) and a greater number thought of it as the drug that caused the most deaths in Australia"

 

National Drug Arrests statistics: https://www.acic.gov.au/sites/g/files/net1491/f/2016/08/010-statistics-acic-iddr-2014-15.pdf?v=1470180285

2010-2015, 62-59% of all illicit drug arrests were related to cannabis. 15-26% were amphetamine-related. 3-2.5% related to opioids. Arrests increased from 85,000 to 133,000 a year. Interesting.

People moving from speed to ice and ice becoming a regular or dependence drug rather than recreational use, has increased from what I've read.

I think hospitals are seeing more incidence of it too, even if general use of the drug in the broader population hasn't increased substantially.

Dont save junkies lives > less junkies to attack paramedics > more paramedics in the system > better paramedic response times for non junkies

I would agree with this but their Hippocratic oath dictates they'll even save the life of a terrorist

One of my friends was called to an OD for the same person three weeks in a row, now that's a waste of resources

I had a stage 1 flash on the fiesta for ages but it means you have to use 98, otherwise it's perfectly happy to use cheap e10 on the stock tune.

It was holding its own against a stock wrx in a drag all the way to 160 down the straight at Wakefield Park. Used you can pick up a my14 with a little warranty left for $16-17k. Uses about 7.5-8L/100km around town, rego and insurance are cheap too as it's an 1100kg econobox.

Interior and stereo are surprisingly nice too given its price. Dem recaro seats.

88E taking a sharp kick in the nuts for no rational reason other than a lack of news expected for the next couple weeks. It did this last time we drilled a well, so kind of expected this to happen a couple weeks ago but it didn't...better late than never right lol

Some people did convert millions of options so they might have sold to profit take

Other than this the only possible explanation is that dezz bought some more shares

It's funny when a lot of GTR owners find out the hard way that 10" inch wide +15 is damn tight on them guards without decent camber.


You talking about 32 owners?

    • 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.
