    BRAKE SHUDDER ISSUE

    The usual cause for excess runout is just sh*t/rust on the hub. Clean it off with a wire wheel and see if that helps. Hopefully those were gentle stops while bedding in otherwise it would have created a lot of heat, which may have warped the rotor. It's cheap enough to get the rotors faced while on the car so I wouldn't stress too much.
  2. Don't tighten it too much, it'll snap. Thread tape or thread sealant will stop it leaking.
  3. It is a drawn out process, that's for sure.
  4. Literally worst possible timing hey! And she hasn't caught it yet so when she does that week resets...again... One week down, one more week guaranteed and another week very likely to come.
  5. Missus got out of iso at midnight last night...daughter wakes up screaming, barfing with a headache, tests positive. Missus goes back into iso for another week. Haha she loves it
  6. Nope. Kids have already had a week off and now I can't drop them off or pick them up. On a brighter note, I've put $190 into crypto from my graphics card mining, and through day trading I've got it up to $280 in the period of about 6 weeks.
  7. Last day of iso and I test +. Fml. In other news I have nearly 4 cartons of beer and nearly 2 cartons of cider, so should be ok for the next week.
  8. In other news, Peter Russell Clarke is 86. How about that?!
  9. Yeah nah customers. I'm waiting until tax time to fix mine so I can get some more goodies lol.
  10. Yerp. Just waiting on an Atomic timing chain kit and will fit that when it arrives.
  11. Someone's else vehicle. It didn't suck as much as I thought it would.
  12. @Panda Eyes Mate there is absolutely no need to go balls to the wall at your age and fitness level. No rest breaks is a very specific advanced process that you only use after lifting weights for several years. It was irresponsible for the trainer to push you that hard and I would stay away from them from here out. If you want to do cardio then go for a walk for half an hour to 45 minutes per day. That is ample for everyone except perhaps for bodybuilders getting ready for a competition, and cardio specific sports such as cycling. If you want to build muscle/strength then you need a program to specifically do that. Muscle is what will make everything easy, cardio is a very distant second. You said you've got decent size and as you lift more the fat will come off you and you'll change shape. You won't gain actual size or weight for a long time. On the food front, you should eat roughly 1 hour before lifting weights and it should comprise of mostly carbs, 50 to 100g depending on amount of muscle carried. Mate I've done all kinds of lifting over the past 7 years, have worked out what works for lifting and also for diet. I'll be happy to help you get into it, without getting injured or put off by negative experiences like you've had. Yes you gotta work, but no where near as hard as people think. You lift smarter, not harder. On that note, to be smarter you need to learn a lot. That I can help you with. If you're keen send me a pm and we can work out (no pun intended) where you're at and how to move forward. Last but not least, it's easy once you get into it and 45 minutes, 3 times a week of weights will absolutely change your life.
  13. You answered your own question there mate. It wasn't installed. Maybe the restrictor is the same size as the (probably) -4 fitting to his turba? Ball bearing turbas don't need much oil to run properly. Get in here for some info and while you're there read a whole bunch of other stuff. The more you read, the more you know and that's always a good thing. I read somewhere that too much oil can increase drag in the bearing which makes a turba slow like donkey.
  14. No need for being a test mule, these cranks are already in Australia, just with "insert name brand here" laser etched on it. Same goes for conrods and other similar parts. Aussies for the most part are just resellers.
  15. If someone is sponsored by a place then you gotta take what they say with a grain of salt. They are literally paid to say nice things lol In other news here is a billet crank...
  16. I ordered a turba from sparesbox and after a couple of weeks they told me it would be 2 months away and asked if I would like to cancel it. I did that and @JETURBO got me sorted with one in no time.
  17. How hard are you gonna beat on it when it's built?
  18. Any chance you can loosen the dump at the turbo and it'll clear? There is a fair bit of movement from doing that. I've often thought about grinding the block there, but never bothered. You can bash the dump pipe to clear it with no difference in performance. Imo either is acceptable. If you did want it to be perfect though, you'd get a dump that clears everything without grinding or hammering.
  19. Have had many a bottle of Woodford
  20. Eh nothing crazy, coupla cartons of sparkling, coupla cartons of hard cider, coupla bottles of longbranch.
  21. Haha yerp I'm also sitting here waiting for my dans order like
  22. Eh we'll be right. I think I might move out to the shed though so I don't have to listen to bickering children.
  23. FML second kid tested + this morning. That puts iso for the second kid from 7 days to 9 now. There's still 2 more kids as well as the missus and I that don't have it. At this rate me or the missus will be stuck in the house for 2 weeks. Oh well something something 2 weeks. Edit: Iso doesn't add up for non + people.
