Ling long tires $400
Engine conversion $6k
Final inspection wash/wax/vacuum $10k
#priorities

Tyres will be purchased, once the rims are purchased, to fit the gtr guards, once the car is ready for painting, which needs a gtr bonnet & front lip ~_~

Positive interest after dropping 50%..

With iw2 basically being ditched with no positive result and costing 10's of millions... I'm surprised it's at the price it is.

For the first time I don't agree with how management handled that one...I interpreted it as basically a drawn out version of "well this isn't working" covered up with "well we've got plenty of data anyway to initiate a farm out". They haven't done anything dishonest given the results from that drill were never a guaranteed thing, but I'd sooner they own it in a concise manner in their report. Announcement confusion is the worst thing for this share and given the complex nature of oil drilling it really needs to be translated into layman terms let alone using unnecessarily confusing language.

Share is still worth a heap IMO, given what they can do with the HRZ and a horizontal well - IW2 was just a test well to prove up the resource and they alluded to having farm out offers on the table before they drilled it - not to mention what else is on the acreage in the way of conventional. But yeah, the lambos will be waiting another year at least lol. Should be a nice spike when/if a farm out partner is announced or leading up to it. I'd personally be taking advantage of poor market sentiment towards the share right now as people head in the opposite direction and undervalue it. 100,000 shares for ~2k yes please.

Any recommendation of video editing programs? Something easy for the average Joe and nothing like what Steven Spielberg uses.

Need to edit my vids from Metec incident ?

Windows movie maker

I use prism video editor I think. Free and easy. Nothing special.

When 88e went from horizontal to vertical, I thought nothing of it, but now the failure to flow test IW2 with artificial lift and the conclusion being "a horizontal drill is probably needed" certainly makes that decision a shit one in hindsight.
Other than keeping costs down, I don't know why they didn't use artificial lift to begin with when 90% of all Wells use it. Maybe an analyst wanted to try something different. It's seems to have cost almost a year to prove very little.

But, we're no experts. Oh well.

So has anyone actually made a decent profit off 88e (other than Birds pre-VWL 88e announcements) or does it just keep bouncing around and being unpredictable?
I haven't sold any yet.
So maybe an accompany question should be: has anyone lost any decent money on it?

Would I prefer my money with 88E as opposed to sitting in a savings account at 1.6 or 1.8% per annum? Fo sho
But I guess the key is balance? Trying to expand my holdings into a portfolio. Finding decent companies not in sketchy industries is fairly difficult.

It's a long term play for most, the kind of thing that has a piece of string length to it...

I made further profits post VWL announcement by trading it short term. And if anyone heeded my warning to buy at the tail end of last year when it dropped to 1.8 cents, they'd have more than doubled their money a few months later. So there's definitely opportunity to make short term profit on it, but I'm guessing most here like me are invested in it for the long term now, in which case you just leave the money in there and follow the news. It's a roulette spin - you either gonna lose it all or buy a lambo.

Unrelated, this cheapie Dell laptop I got for ~$400 can play CSGO. 40-60fps - definitely playable and it's low detail/shadow settings but still impressive for internal graphics.

So when we playing Quake?

  • Like 2

CSGO is probably the most optimised game ever made.

They use it to measure mouse click to screen time and can get it to 1ms or so. Which seems impossible, but there ya go

 

Is quake good? I'm usually up for a Sunday night sesh

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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.
