What's a med cert

My work doesn't magically go away if I don't show up, only doing myself a disservice if I take the day off 

non union lyf

and if you can work from home even more this.

your not infecting others and still getting the work done.

Thiiiiiiiiiiis

Anyone used/using Nankang NS2Rs? Already thinking of next tyres for the GTST. RSRRs have served me well and were great value when new, but starting to lose their grip under power. Plenty of life left in them for regular driving but they're still noisy as fk and that's only an acceptable trade off if you're getting grip.

I "think" these are what richo runs on the wrx and was very happy with $$ for grip.

 

EDIT:

Sorry he running the AR1

Unfortunately if I don't come in to work for more than 2-3 days so much stuff grinds to a halt. It's why I'm hesitant to take more than a few days for a holiday. When I went to Japan for 3-4 weeks they got someone to run things while I was away and they ended up cancelling the job before I even got home because they weren't prepared. Trying to organise work for myself after it fell through was a pain in the ass.
Its like if you book a holiday too far in advanced it's f**k things coming up you're not aware of yet, but you can't exactly do things last minute because it seems convenient.
February went to the gold Coast for like 5 days or something and ended up having to come home early for work. Typical.

Live to work or work to live... If you're just an employee the decision is an easy one

Was just about to type the same thing.. work to live or live to work 

I feel like too many people live to work, has it always been like this? 

#quarterlifecrysis feel like all I do is work and not much fun these days

Granted I'm in the middle of a major mid life crisis, but more and more I start to think like that... Too often I hear shit like 'I'd love to do x, but I have to work' meanwhile said persons boss/company owner is on their 5th overseas trip for the year.
f**k that shit.
It's not living, it's just waiting to die

My work (yay govt) has two types of leave, has a certain amount of sick leave per year with no cert, and a second allotment of leave with a cert. The leave with a cert is very generous and generally used for people with sick kids/carers leave etc.

Life quality is a thing and really should be everyone's primary aim, however the hell it suits people to achieve it.

Some people have it easier, some people have it hard. Some people make it hard for themselves. Some people have earned and worked their way to having it easy.

 

The older I get, the more I realise how a lot of people who have it hard comes down to decisions they have made as well as how they approach work/life. #CISmaleprivelige

 

(obviously some people are just thrown curve balls their entire lives)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
