Fine you's convinced me

Ok so I was heavily questioned about my vision for our ensuite by J@ and today I got my vindication... Finally the custom made cabinets and the lights arrived and it has transformed the space and j@ only hates it 40% instead of 120% so I am taking that as a huge win! 🤣 I will photo in stages: Stage 1: The dreaded pink tile Stage 2: Grouted and looking better. Stage 3: Sinks, Tap wear, basins and lights Stage 4: Custom Cabinets Stage 5: M

wash day

You could try pressure testing the piping between the turbo outlet and the throttle body . You can diy a test kit with some PVC pipe end caps and installing a tyre valve in one - then hook up a compressor and see if it holds pressure. I found I had a couple of spots that looked and felt ok but actually leaked slightly. Hopefully the tuner has already tested this properly and not just had a quick glance. If you disconnect the wastegate line you should boost to the moon. Maybe try this first (but be ready to jump off the throttle before you go sky high) if you make heaps of boost this way you k

Hahaha I guess it’s dependant on era, styling and taste. these same tiles have featured at least three times on either the block or equivalent shows and a few more in a lavender colour also. It was so funny because we were renovating my Nonno’s bathroom only 12 months ago laughing about his purple toilet, shower and bath! 🤣 (I’ll post pics below) I decided to make such a bold choice because the pattern is very adaptable and easily sprayed white or Grey and then becomes on trend again, but for now, I LOVE the pink and it goes perfectly with my pink bed

FIFY

Some beers and putting in some lights tonight... pretty stoked with how all the downlights look! turns out j@ can actually sparkie (think he just needs the right supervisor 🤣) also stoked with how the ensuite is looking

Foreplay is like a resume... Once you've got the job, you don't need it!

Be very careful if you try this. All it takes is one decent detonation event north of 20psi on stock pistons and you can say goodbye to your ring lands.

I blew second in a t56, though I did dump the clutch pretty damn hard. Picked up a na tr6060 from an actual wrecker for $1500. It's handling 3rd and 4th abuse pretty well so far.

I wedge them under the brake pedal for maximum commitment

the wonders of peer pressure

No. I can't be bothered loading them to YouTube. So tiktok it is

That'll do

this come close enough? I'm checking out the location for any boobs

The downstairs after one looks better for sure. It might be a good thing having the bedroom lights different than the rest of the house. Haha it's almost like you know what you're doing

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh Carnt un see pink tiles............ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh [emoji1785][emoji31][emoji1785][emoji2961]

Well I went for a theme on all lighting which remains to be seen as a positive or other... All our down lights are cool white (white white) and all feature lights are warm white. I’m no lighting designer but I did this for the “homely” feel at night, but all the globes are LED so easily changed. Given those same lights are above our bedside tables it makes for a warm and dimmable light. The bathroom and ensuite still have white down lights in the space so you don’t have to use the warm wall lights (eg when doing make up etc) I also changed the down

That looks alright. How would a whiter light look in there?

When’s it coming for the 6,000km round trip stage 3 package Andy

Funnily enough it’s loads of room. That means it’s nearly 1800 off the ground and it’s over an island... doesn’t matter how tall you are, if you bend over to grab something there’s no way you’d hit your head on it... unless you’re drunk dancing ontop of the island 😂😂😂

thanks Camo! Had to put the gloves on for this one...

going to be posting in here a fair bit then, eh?

2 weeks holiday starts now [emoji2] Hired a campervan and looking at properties on the Atherton Tablelands for an early retirement [emoji1787]

yeah will be interesting. doing this car for my son to take over and doing on a very small budget only paid $2000 for the car and have done all the work myself. only outside work will be the tune. all up I easily be under $5000 so to run a 12.9 for under $5000 I will be very happy cost me 10 times that to get the Camaro to do 12.4

I doubt you'll do a 12.4 so don't worry about beating the Camaro I'd be surprised if you don't get faster than a 12.9. I ran a 12.9 on my bone stock (and with larger rims so worse for acceleration) FGX XR6T auto. From my understanding they only make around 220-230rwkw stock. I think you might be lucky to see 12.6 if you get a good launch. Let's see what the dyno comes back with first!

Looks great mate. 285kw? She needs some more supporting mods!

280ish. It depends on how hard they want to push it

Saw something odd on Instagram today. Follow a bloke with the handle @_w8andc_, his plates on his rig being "w8andc. He's from QLD. Posted up two stories about a blown pulsar turbo that had less than 3k km on it apparently. Bagged the turbos for being sh*t with little info on what happened. They stories have been deleted now too... 🤔🤔 First time I've heard of the pulsar turbo crapping out. Was keen to get other info on the setup. Either way, not a good sign for the pulsar train. But still, for under $1000 you can replace that bad boy nearly 3 times before it's the same

0-100 2.5 Lets not get to carried away. You can keep with them, when up and running with 500rwhp+ but no chance off the mark.

Yea they are great just do some research as not all products are created equal some of the better stuff really is self healing if you accidentally put a swirl in the paint , park the car in the sun and the swirl will disappear never believed it my self until I saw it with my own eyes.

Yeah same. FG front calipers fit the opposite way (behind the wheel rather than in front) but actual calipers and bolts are the same. Actually looks like Ford used the same bolts from AU2 onwards.

@gaz097 Have you been hacked!? That reply seems slightly odd...

Just upgraded the fuel system. Plazmaman twin feed rail. Twin -8 feeds, single -6 return through Turbosmart FPR2000. Bosch 1500cc injectors. Already had plazmaman surge/twin pump setup, with flex fuel sensor plumbed in somewhere in between. Seems to run flawlessly. The 540kw the car saw on 20psi had the 1000cc injectors reaching their limit, so I removed that future limitation. Also got 1400hp axles to install. The repco ones started clicking after last track day... Lastly, got a 3d printed dash insert to suit IC7. Might install that one down the track. Slo

1. I wouldn't bother using one of those actuators... they're cheap and nasty (as you found out) and hard to setup the preload properly. 2. the 1.15 rear housing needs to go into the bin... another cheap and nasty item. Just get a replacement garrett 1.06 rear-housing.

@masda74 thanks for the link mate was a great read, neat looking car as well the sunburst orange was/is an amazing colour in my humble opinion on the FGs

@k31th, I need help please. Found it, please ignore me.

Ok so it’s not done but it’s at a spot where a video makes sense... don’t mind the kids running around and my terrible voice hahah

Our custom pink bed is going to be a highlight hahaha thanks bcb
