  1. I already trained through it for 3 months last year which prompted a month break in Jan. I should have calmed my farm when it initially got injured but I gotta be a hard head. Oh well muscle memory is a thing so it wont take long to get back and I'm more than big and strong enough to have time off without turning into a toothpick. I already lost an inch off the arms but it's all good.
  2. This thread is about my territory adventures so may as well do a consolidation post here. I bought another territory, 7 seater, cloth interior, non turbo 2009 model zf awd, 360xxxkm, lightning strike same as the turbo one, trans in limp home mode, clunks and bangs galore, busted tailgate, no oil showing on the dipstick, farked lifters, overheating, slightly missing, $1500. I probably paid too much for it but considering I can do all the work it ain't that bad. So far I've chucked a reco tailshaft in it, new rear shocks, new front diff bushes, new front wheel bearings, new front lower ball joints, front sway bar bushes and links, a second hand set of trans solenoids to fix the trans issue, an engine service, a trans service, fuel filter, thermostat, rocker cover gasket kit, external trans cooler, a front mount intercooler, 1500cc injectors, 255 fuel pump, drop in adjustable fuel reg, valve springs, anti pump up lifters, roller rockers, spark plugs, genuine coils, billet wheel gt3576 with flapper mod, stock dump and stock turbo territory exhaust, engine tune obviously, trans tune, a second hand tailgate to replace the trailer hit one, 4 tyres, brake pads all round and I reckon that's about it. No doubt I'll remember something else once I hit post. I've still got the rear sway bar bushes to install and also rear diff bushes. I'll get to that in 3 months when my arm is better. It started out at probably 130awkw as an na beast, probably went up to 145awkw with a tune and now is sitting at around 275awkw with the turbo stuff installed. Anyhow there is that, now people can read about it here instead of it being spread out through the forum.
  3. Ok saw the specialist today about the elba. He reckons an 8 to 10 week rest is needed from the weights. The last time I was training properly was the first week of feb, so I guess another 6 weeks will do to make sure. If it flares up again he said he will do surgery to fix it, so that is an option if needed. I give it a solid meh/10
  4. I've redone all the shift maps in my other territory, it took frigging ages.
  5. I raised it 250rpm to 6250rpm and put the fuel cut to 6400rpm. That's all it needed. My shifter needs addressing, it won't shift up gears in manual mode so it's always in auto mode. I'd have to remap the shift points to get it to rev higher in gear and ain't nobody got time for dat.
  6. And...I used virtual dyno to see where it's at, 276awkw at 13psi. Haha...hmmmm....what's next? I'll think of something
  7. Got it all finished a couple of hours ago, test drive successful and a new rocker cover gasket kit got rid of the spark plug hole leaks. As always when going from stock springs to beefy springs, the difference is night and day. It pulls hard to redline now and with decent springs and anti pump up lifters, there is no valve float whatsover. I'm gonna have to raise the rev limiter by 100rpm or so, cos it tagged it in auto mode on the 1>2 shift. Happy days
  8. Valve springs are going in, Plazmaman Pro
  9. That's one way of saying you're gonna buy a treadly
  10. Sorry I'm not up to date with who does what in Melbourne. Someone will have an idea though
  11. Good job Uncle Bob Yay Thursday
  12. I honestly can't think of a single thing to go wrong
  13. Crack heads inject sh*t directly into their bloodstream all the time and most of them don't die I reckon I can do it, it's a very simple process. Draw blood, centrifuge it, suck the clear stuff off the top, inject into elbow. Just gotta convince the missus, she'll be the one stabbing me lol
  14. I was looking into PRP injections for my elbow and all up it comes to around $1000 for 3 injections over 6 weeks or so. I figure I can buy a centrifuge, a bunch of vacuum collection tubes and make my own plasma for injection for roughly half the price. Yeah or nah/10?
