  1. It is truly amazing how much it happens and how many people have gone through this also. I ended my marriage 2 years ago, after being together for 8 years (1 year married but together 7 beforehand) It also came down to the I want kids now situation. We were not in a financially stable position to even start thinking about kids at the time and to be honest I was bleeding money keeping her happy and doing things all the time. We had 2 cats, a dog, and a rabbit (don't think there was anything else). Basically she started not coming home after work just to avoid me for no reason apart from the fact I had explained how it wouldn't work having kids quite yet. I was 26 at this time and she was 23. Now since I work shift work that meant we really didn't see each other at all. Next she just moved out to her mothers and wouldn't talk etc. I was really lucky that my parents were very helpful throughout this time, enough so that my father dropped everything (runs his own vineyard so if he is not there doing it, nothing happens) to come and support me and try help out. Unfortunately her parents were not at all helpful throughout this time. They didn't try to talk her through it or anything the only ones who did were my mum and dad. Eventually we got to the point where we were talking again and seemed to be working things out, life was looking up. Then all of a sudden she basically started blackmailling me with kids or divorce. That didn't fly well with me at all as if she is doing it now and we do somehow reconcile then whats to say this whole episode wouldn't happen again. I eventually bit the bullet and actually ended it there and then. It was a horrible time in my life that was made worse by the fact I then found out she had cheated on me twice, once while actually married. But 2 years on, and divorce (have to wait 2 years in NZ) finally done everything is great. After only 6 months of being separated life was already much better, also somehow I was saving money even though I had to pay mortgage and all bills myself. Its weird what happens in life but we learn from it and this place helps keep it sane. Other people that were quite helpful was a couple of my workmates. There are alot of people out there with good life experiences and advice. Sorry bit long winded and hopefully its readable/understandable. Be strong bud and I hope you work it out and get in the right mindset whichever path it may take.
  2. Don't worry bout it. They are just whining because your smoking them. At the end of the day EA will be able to check to see if you were hacking and being that your not you haven't got anything to worry about. Attacking from the top is also going to take something else down quicker as the armor isn't as great, that's why the top attack rockets do more damage.
  3. That would kind of make sense to. As with using the BOV the turbo is still spinning quickly as you've given the air somewhere to go hence starting at 12psi once opening the throttle. Whereas the 10psi is because the compressor surge caused by no BOV has actually slowed the compressor down slightly. But in the end from what you found is 2psi really going to be at all noticeable.
  4. Its not welded due to the fact you can fold it straight. Just 2 straight bars with the sockets on the ends and a bolt setup to allow folding. So its plenty strong enough. Also if you can't get enough torque out of it then your wheel nuts are beyond torqued.
  5. I have spline drive nuts, you don't have to worry about the tool fitting in any wheel as it has a small overall diameter. As for replacing the ford wheel spanner I got one of those X shape ones but it folds straight so doesn't take up heaps of room. Covers 21mm, 19mm, and 17 I guess.

    Body Swap

    The ECU talks to the other modules, as for the engine its more keeping a tune with an engine. The ECU I'm pretty sure will just drive any engine as it doesn't know any better. But the BEM and some other modules are paired to the ECU.
  7. Exhaust could be bigger diameter to allow it to breath easier as well.
  8. Changed front springs from the Kings to cobras with a 20mm lift. So now 20mm below factory but 20mm up from the kings. Time to figure out height of rear and get the leafs out and reset.

    Body Swap

    Your ECU is set for your car and icc etc. So if you change it all over easy as. Otherwise the other cars ECU will need so form of programming to accept the change.
  10. Read it the first time. What is currently done to it to get the 280kw?
  11. No its plazmaman, and the drop saw wasn't used. Just happened to be lying around in the garage wanting to be in on the action.
  12. Pulled it apart and put it back together with new stuff. But I need to do some work on the cold side as the piping is hard against the bumper underneath. I might have the 2 45 deg silicone joiners if the opposites position.
  13. That person hasn't come back to say the fixed it. The original person with the problem got a new ecu and that fixed it.
  14. Have a chat to plazmaman about their kits. They popped up on trademe and seem to be quite reasonable. Freight is going to cost because of weight though. Contact Henry direct as it cuts out the trademe cost.
  15. Intercooler kit showed up. Just need time to fit it. Can't wait.
  16. You could possibly look at HPT for tuning. No hand controller involved with that one. The SCT tuner can be used on 5 vehicles one at a time. Vehicle has to be returned to stock before it can be unlocked for another.
  17. slygary its NOT changed at 7500km like you've found there normally. If you read the top of that service interval it says for vehicles operated under severe/unusual conditions. So you need to find the other page that probably says 30,000 or 60,000 between services (I'm guessing the figures there)
  18. Check you don't have a data cap set in preferences that is used up for the cycle?
  19. Info is from frauds repair/workshop manual. Reading between the lines with the info, the only reason it has 250w is to supply the sub with its 150w. The normal 100w is still same for the speakers.
  20. That's a good point Bonjaz, I wonder what the implications are on a tune with a system like this. Obviously would have the tune done for varex open, but if you boot it with it closed and the restricted path what might it do?
  21. If you know it requires a tune after doing the exhaust why are you revving it that high? Maybe you should've left the exhaust off till just before tune time.
  22. So done some reading. There are 3 audio systems being Low, Mid, or High series. The Low series has single CD, 100 watt power, aux input and other normal stuff. The Mid series has 6 Disc CD, 100 watt power, aux input and other normal stuff. The High Series has 6 Disc CD, 250 watt power, Subwoofer, aux input and other normal stuff however doesnt have a clock. In a sedan you can get 4, 6 or 11 speakers. 4 is povo pack, 6 for mid series, and 11 for premium (high) the 11 speakers are contained in 7 assemblies. The wagon on comes with 4 speakers. The utes have 2, 4, or 6. 2 in the povo pack, 4 in the mid series, and 6 speakers for the mid seris option audio. All speakers are rated at 25watts, sub is 150watts.
  23. I don't think the utes ever has the option of the amp and sub, that's why you get a 50/50 system. 50% povo pack 50% premium.
  24. If you take the adapter out you should be able to removed the snapped part from it and just get another adapter.
