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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
