thanks Jase!

See how despo I get, car needs to be done for mid Nov but I'm going OS soon so leaves me with this weekend only

Time for a build update, so now moved onto the bathroom upstairs.

This build I've enlisted a builder as we only have 1x bathroom so efficiency is important and working on Johnny time isn't going to work out especially as we only have 1x shower in our house.

Tiles and all the shit have been purchased. 1.2m vanity wall hung, 20mm stone top for vanity. 30x60 Porcelain tiles for floor, 30x60 Ceramic for the walls and 10x30 ceramic for the feature wall (vertical brick pattern).

New toilet suite and all taps, fittings and shit. Next to get it built then tuned (taps adjusted lol).

Oh yeah lowered its mum.

Oh no ! No cruising for you for a while cause your cash is going into your bathroom reno ! 

And the same for me as a alloy Holden 6 Duggan head has popped up on for sale for my other project !

 

A bit of mould on the beams, but nothing worth replacing as it's not structural.

Next, to re-jig the piping to suit the new shower and all.

Btw, I'm not doing the reno this time. Paying a builder and now heading to the airport to use a bathroom/shower overseas for a week lol.

Made it to the land of Samsung and Korean Fried Chicken.

Also, you're free to help yourself to the beer fridge here and drink as much and as little as you want.

Here's a breakfast beer

And back to build thread, went off topic a bit.

Going full copper tray this time, no more leaks, no more cracked water proofing. This bathroom will outlive me!

 

Hmmmm . . . . beer and chicken . . .served on what looks like news paper !

Now that takes me back to my childhood with the old fish and chip shop serving the fish and chips wrapped in the Sydney Morning Herald. . . nothing tasted better . . . than news ink with your chips !

Free beer you say, next time I'm peering in your bathroom window I'll knock on the window, or you can just leave a beer on the window sill.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
