Went and inspected a Honda Jazz for the Mrs last night at 5pm. Said I was interested, just needed to discuss details with her etc. Emailed 12pm today saying I will come this afternoon and put a deposit down and it's sold.... Too slow junior. Shits me, but what can you do.

You would think this issue would be noticed fairly quickly and then recalled or at worst, only affected a few months production. Surely ford are on top of it now...

They're still getting their heads around it

Sorry it's a day or two late

Ended up cancelling my shitty ADSL at new rental place (NBN 6-9 months away but wouldn't be surprised if it actually is 1-2 years) bought a 200GB data sim from Optus for $70 month no contract

Before: 3 download / 1 upload mbps PING: 20ms-ISH

After: 25 download / 6 upload mbps PING: 30ms-ish 

The only down side is 200GB limit vs unlimited data.. which is pointless anyway with such shit speeds. 

tl;dr if you have shitty ADSL go get a Optus 4G sim and wack it in a 4G modem

Well my house had NBN disconnected for 2 weeks while changing ISP. Good times.

NBN couldn't remotely do shit with the modem, so had to get a tech out. Then he'd done his work but something else happened (or slow response) and easter break hit. 3 days after holidays it was back on.

New router is shit though. Barely get signal on my phone to other side of house through like 3 walls. That's on 2.4Ghz because I disabled 5ghz, 5ghz supposed to be shorter range but will try it and see if signal improves.

Yeh 5ghz is a shorter range BUT more things use 2.4ghz so sometimes 5ghz is better to run on. Just try and test both out. Also pro tip: don't put modem near the microwave

I need a new modem as well, the one my republic give you is so shit.

not had to buy one for years as been living off the modem that optus Cable used as they kept sending me new ones every few years and worked a treat.

 

what are good and bad these days? had a good run with netgear back when I used to buy them.

 

 

Netgear still seem to be pretty standard / decent 

Depends how crazy you want to go I guess, the Asus ones look good too 

I use a Sophos XG105w at home

Was checking out Unit prices where I bought 3-4 years ago (Clayton) now that I don't get around the area anymore, soo surprising what similar places are going for now :O tempting as to sell would easily be around 200k in the pocket after deducting the remaining mortgage & selling costs.. Considering it to then use as a deposit for building / buying our own 'proper', "forever" house.. but still like that it's a nest egg, I guess we could use the equity of it to borrow on? is that a stupid idea? 

It's what everyone else does, therefore it must be a good idea!

If your current rental is profitable, then you have no reason to sell. Different if you were older or something and wanted dream home.

Only if you’re willing to build a “Grand Design” worthy house Leigh.

Na, if you can afford it, and set on living in a place forever, go for it.

I know a few people who've done it and loved it. But the cars are thrashed, if you care about things being mickey mouse.

 

I did the Mario kart thing and that was the most fun I have had in a looooong time. It's great value.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
