  1. Yeah a dude I know from a block over got a 6.5 system installed for $3800 I think and is getting 18c buy back. For some reason I procrastinate a lot when I have to spend much more than a grand or so, even if I know that it's for a good thing. Mebbe I'm just a tight arse?
  2. You're right, I probably would as I'm here and also have a variety of kids home that need tv, tablets and lots of dinner cooked while it's still light, thanks to daylight savings time. We pay about 38c per KWh over here. With summer coming and it looking to be an el nino year it would make a fair difference with the cooling costs. You gotta be pretty happy with that $20 or so bill though.
  3. That's so cheap. I'm still paying between $300 and $400 per month.
  4. Jk maybe he needs a distraction like a toy or a chewable rawhide bone etc?
  5. I didn't mean yours was, I was just making a point that they need to be done together. From your first post it seems that it is shifting with the converter locked, possibly with some other funny stuff going on. Your tuner should be able to fix this if it is the case. As it was there before it might not be able to be fixed with a tune and it could need opening up and inspecting. How are your coils? They can cause transmission dramas.
  6. Yeah mate, that's why we have laws about cars stopping and pedestrians waiting.
  7. The engine and the trans have to be tuned to compliment each other which is why a generic zf tune is not a great idea. Watching some of the hoontune tuned cars you can see that there is a decent wait while the trans makes the shift in some of them. You can clearly hear a shift fart in a car that ran 9.30 @ 154mph.
  8. While we're linking useful sh*t, here's a thing. It might have been posted before? https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/falcon/
  9. You gotta tell her bro. Put your foot down, there's nothing wrong with doing that. You can be polite but firm. You're a grand out of pocket and I'd be well pissed, as I suppose you are. Similar situation here where I had to tell someone they are doing the wrong thing. My oldest son is 6 and obviously I'm teaching him the essential things to keep him alive, among other things. One of these things is how to cross the road and part of that training is for him to look for cars and wait for them to pass before he crosses the road. Simple right?! So many people, when they see him waiting to cross, and btw I walk to the road and make sure it's safe for him to cross, they will just stop their car and motion for him to cross in front of them. Not only is stopping your car in the road for no reason illegal, which idgaf about, they are also inadvertently teaching my son that it is ok to cross in front of cars. So the similar part is a dude stopped his car when he shouldn't have (no pedestrian crossing) and told my son to cross. Now my boy knows not to cross in front of cars (well durr) and I told him to wait. The dude waited a full 30 seconds constantly telling my boy to go while I stood there and told him to wait. Eventually the dude rolled forward and said that he was waiting and that my son should have crossed. I told him very clearly that I'm teaching my son how to cross the road safely (he can but I still make sure and will do for a while yet) and that cars don't stop as a general rule and that pedestrians have to wait for cars to cross. I said I have to teach him to wait for cars as cars won't always wait for him. Some people are just unaware of life and their surrounding or how their actions affect others. Nothing wrong with letting people know. Anyhow, who's paying for the door? I think that if she was stirring the fark out of the dog and the dog reacted unfavourably then some of the blame lies with her. I ain't trying to tell ya how to live your life mate but that's my 2.2c inc gst. I'll chuck the rant in for free
  10. Mebbe it's got a busted line from the pump in the tank. You'll soon see anyway.
  11. Swap the fuel pump and let us know. I'm sure the mechanic would have listened to it priming or rather the lack of it priming so you should be sweet after this. It should be pretty cheap too as the pump doesn't cost much and it doesn't take long to install.
  12. I was watching the toobs and I thought that this would be an interesting watch, regarding methanol. If the link doesn't work properly, the methanol part starts at 2 minutes in.
  13. While that is a good option for someone who can't replace a chra but can r&r a turbo, if op can't remove and replace the turbo themself then getting the bearings done will be a much cheaper option. Just over $900 cheaper in fact. It comes down to whether op can do the work themself or not.
  14. You'll hit a flow restriction with a stock cooler eventually. It really depends on how much you are going to turn it up.
  15. I never had that problem with their modem. I've got an optus modem and also a netgear d6200 which I'm currently using. I wonder if having 4 wired connections and 8 wireless connections is making it drop out?
  16. No it's farked. I refreshed this page over a dozen times on wireless and mobile data just to see your comment. It just wouldn't load.
  17. Yeah forum is slow. Magnum dong is genetic, not magic. Edit: definitely Keith's fault.
  18. Ads can suck my magnum dong. Adblock ftw.
