  1. How annoying is it that EK do the backplate separately but recommend it.....like just sell the product with it.

     

    Thinking of adding a triple rad up front and a block for the 3080.

    It's actually making quite a lot of money mining crypto. smashes cyberpunk but honestly I regard the 3080 as a 1440p high FPS card. 10g vram should be fine for me.

  2. had new turbo fitted to work car few weeks back, done 5k kms since. started making bad turbo noises and then the motor started making bad noises.

     

    took it to mechanic and told him the turbo or something and he said timing chain (there was a rattle), fixed that.

     

    Now they obviously took it for a drive and the turbos stuffed. better cover it under warranty cause id taken it back twice saying the new turbo had an issue and the bloody thing ran fine while the mechanic had it.

  3. Don't get why they have to give so much money to welfare recipients. It should have gone to the casual workers who lost their jobs. The message I got from that was 'continue to work if you get sick'.

     

    Once the money flows, I'd love to see how much of it was spent on booze or withdrawn as cash.

  4. sh*t scared of this, couldn't breathe when I got sick last year not looking forward to this at all. There's a few good videos from people with medical backgrounds explaining the beer flu on youtube that don't leave me having a panic attack like most of the media's articles do.

     

    I could only find premium toilet paper at the shops as well.

     

    keeping on topic, what made me feel good today is we had some decent rain last night.

    I would have thought it would be common knowledge by now that the PCMTEC software was developed from the source code of a hacked version of SCT Advantage III, so if I were you Roland I wouldn't go around bagging others... I have no relation to anyone here but have some inside info...

    I want the juicy inside info! There is not enough controversy here.

     

    Otherwise,

     

    A delusion of grandeur is the false belief in one's own superiority, greatness, or intelligence.

  6. I loved the fuel econ of my last falcon when it was cruising...compared to the first stock one. Couldn't resist punching the throttle to 150ks though...

    that's better than the averge falcon economy

    what fuel do they test all that stuff on? I assume 91?

    I currently have a xr6t bf mkII motor sitting at home and I have decided to build a project car,

    What gearbox are you planning on using? I swear I saw somewhere people were managing to fit the ZF 6 speed auto in some barra conversions... which would be mint!

    Lian Li have thought of everything

    They've broken me with this case too! If I pulled the trigger I would go GPU block + two triple 120 radiators. Ran out of money after the 9900K upgrade though!

     

    Hey has anybody measured power draw under load? I get about 100W idle and 400-450w under load. running 650w PSU. 9900K+2080.

    is anyone here switched on with tablets?

    I'm gonna sound like an apple fan but I can't go past the ipads, I still have the original ipad which is fully working and cannot say that about any android tablets I've owned. That being said you can get something far cheaper in android than apple... (edit: the ipad pro is crap, when I recommend apple ipad I recommend their cheapest model).

  9. hey mate have a look on gumtree can be abit of a gamble but should be like $600 ish for the turbo (secondhand, working). The labour cost from ford sounds about right.

     

    Some mechanics I deal with are good at sourcing secondhand or cheaper (new) parts so it could be worth asking around for some quotes. Make sure to replace the oil feed line new, id recommend new bolts/studs too.

     I keep getting sucked in by their click bait titles and then am severely disappointed by the content.

    I watch a lot of the 4x4 / exploration sorta shows on youtube. One I quite like, seek adventure, has decided to take a break but his content is really good in case you wanted a new channel to check out. (of course it's a WA based channel)
