That's hideous...I remember the days of 8% when it was worth having interest. Rather put in a bluechip or some sort of  Alaskan oil explorer.

remember home/car rates were also 18% at that same time(well that was prior to any of us having cars/homes)....you don't get one without the other.

when you can get a home loan for 4% they cannot give 8% for savings.

and get those kids off my lawn.

Its pretty sad that I made enough interest when I was 16-18 to pay my phone bill each month and I don't make that much now off a lot more savings

I was doing the same. 5k was getting me like $30 a month, shit was free money. Then you realise capital gains and inflation and it sucks a bit...

Interest ain't worth it now

So I mean you could wait a year for 2.6% on your money or buying 88E at 1.5/1.6 will produce nearly 30% in a week

Three certainties in life; death, taxes and 88E recovering after a big fall

M8 it's about diversifying
Cant put all money into shares.

And I'm also gonna pull 80% out of 88E when it hits a point I'm happy with (maybe 5c or so).
After seeing what oil search can achieve in Alaska with $400mil behind them, 88e just wastes my time.
They built roads, pad, rig, the whole shabangabang recently, after acquiring a position last year and looking to spud by February.

Diversifying only works to protect money, but not to make significant amounts of it. It averages out your losses, but also your profits in the name of safety. Case in point...if you'd put every dollar you had of cash into 1.5/1.6 88E of yesterweek, by now you'd have cleared more gains than 10 years of compounding bank interest at current rates. 88E may well waste the long termers time but I've always maintained there's a truckload to be made off that perpetual dump and ramp cycle on asx releases.

Quote me now: once that current well is spud and they are on the cusp of testing it, good or bad outcome, the price will ramp before the fact. Save for some unseen shit going down, the ramp is coming.

88E's big shot was Icewine2. Now it's a long path back, trying to gain funding to continue. Hopefully news of conventional farm out goes ok, but can't rely on it. Next major works is something that's a small % ownership of, which is progressing slowly.
Finally, over 5.5billion shares is just Ludacris. Will they consolidate once they have income?

I don't want em to consolidate TBH...it's the only thing holding them accountable for taking advantage of every share issue they're possibly entitled to. I didn't like how they handled IW2, at all. Thinking we won't hear another peep about it and yet the last I read on it, they'd supposedly found ample evidence to turn a dollar out of it so didn't proceed with discovering it had no damn pressure lol

Conventional is likely their best shot at making money out of their acreage I think. No one seems to want to touch fracking until the oil prices skyrocket and the Arabs dry out.

There's actually a fairly reasonable argument that "Dangerous to the driver only" isn't a valid reason - Mainly because when you end up a vegetable from hitting a tree, this impacts and costs society to deal with you, and people like you that think it was good idea to do skids in an industrial lot and meet a light pole on intimate terms.

Or replace an airbag steering wheel with a fully sick copy china item etc etc etc.

Typically speaking though, modding cars never really hurt anyone, including the drivers.

I'd like to see the correlation between installation of pod filters and the increase of sudden infant death syndrome.

For real though, what the f**k kind of impact on the environment would adding a pod filter to an intercooled setup have, to justify the EPA making someone take a day off work to change it and get it passed. Australia's entire impact in the greater scheme of world emissions has been established as f**k all. Those are the kinds of laws that needed to be binned; laws created for no other reason than to enforce sanctions against modified vehicles.

ok lets go there.........


so as we know the influx of pod filters came with the boom of modified 90's japanese turbo cars.

Since the late 90's these cars have become more rare and harder to find. plus with research people found stock airboxes were more effective in many cases drawing in colder air and flowing well.

now I'm not saying they stopped al together but I think we can agree the 90's were peek pod filter and slowly ramping down.

 

now from this site (https://vaxopedia.org/2018/05/26/was-sids-discovered-only-after-we-began-vaccinating-kids/) we can also see that since the 90's the incidents of SID's has also been dropping.

Rates of most causes of sudden infant death, including SIDS, have dropped since the mid-1990s.

thus from this we can see a correlation between pod filters and SID's.

QED

 

and as a side note we can see a trend of japan making lame cars has increased the amount of accidental suffocation and strangulation..

So Unreel moving house again... Flogging off the bike too, dayum.

What's the goss?

 

I'm looking for a new rental soon, could be good timing as there seems to be lots of people with empty houses asking too much at the moment.

Requirements are: within 1hr public transport from Melb Central or Royal Children's Hospital, min. 2-car lockable garage, min 2 car driveway, min 2 bedrm, easy access to freeways, isn't west side.

 

There's a few suburbs that are options but being so spread out makes it hard to search...

    • 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.
