THE do-it-yourself craze is leading to thousands of injuries from angle grinders. Almost seven Queenslanders a day are turning up at hospitals with injuries from the high-speed tool, used for cutting metal and other hard materials

Cy, you're now a statistic :(

It isnt as bad as Cyrus, i dont really care if it needs stiches cuz im not letting no doctor stick a needle near me.

Tip - Next time u drill into those blank plastic clip things in your dash use a vise. Holding it with your fingers doesnt quite work when the drill bit grabs.

waa waa waa I am so weak that I didnt even come close to giving myself an injury that warrented a hospital vists!!

jk lb :)

OK list of self inflicted injuries:

1. 3 years old, was seeing how high I could throw a brick up in the air and still catch it. Needless to say I missed, but the brick didnt. Broken collar bone

2. 3 years old, while toboganing down my street my foot snagged a drain. Broken ancle.

3. 5 years old, while ice skating and trying to break the under 5 ice speed record, hit a car. Broken ribs & left arm.

5. 10 years old, riding along beside the gutter with thongs on, got a bit close and my left foots toenails were whisked away in under a second.

5. 13 years old, while riding a motorbike, at night, with no lights, in the middle of a national forest, rode into a newly erected barb wire fence flat out in second. dislocated shoulder, broken arm, HEAPS of stictches and a cool helecopter ride.

6. 15 years old, while snowboarding at night on a closed run, while illegally tresspassing, took a wrong turn which lead to a big drop, ended up in a tree with a broken leg and minor cuts and abrasions.

7. 17 years old, while holding onto the side of a car, riding my bike, I got the speed wobbles around 70kph. Bike hit side of car and went under, left leg went with it. Also took out my left kneecap, which is now a mirror copy of my right kneecap and has a lovey Dow Corning brand name stamped into the back of it.

And they are just the major's, I would not have enough room to list the minors like the grinder incident.

Summary, yes I did have a deathwish and was very very stupid ;)

Hang on a sec, maybe should change that "did" to a "do" :)

I'm a clumsy ****er

I believe the proper term you are looking for is:

Stupendos Moronic Idiotic Klutz

No I just do things which other people think are that way, Ed's got the best sig:

..... only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
