Good evening

Did you end up mounting you tablet? I'm in the process of doing mine now ill see if I can get a photo up on here. Its a Galaxy tab 2 10.1 mounted below ICC and above the Aux power source, in that sorta area.

Yep I need to get the old BA out for some fun. Ill keep an eye out for a proposed date! Scruff

Just thought id add some of my experiences to this thread. Had my Car tuned by C&V a long time ago now. RWKW was limited due to valve springs. After a couple of years I return and had the upgraded valve springs added. and ended up with close to 260RWKW. With the extra power I was spinning the wheels to much under power, so for more traction I put some new wheels on my car. I am running Yoko Advan 275's on the rear. So tight a fit that I had to remove plastic lugs holding wires on the inside of the wheel wells. About a month after I put the weels on. Planetarys went. This is running a edit that slams the gears to the point that you think that a hammer is being used to change em. been running on new gearbox now for over a year and no problems, on the same tune. Was told that the planetarys are just weak in some of these boxes so its a bit of pot luck as to how much power they can take before they go bang bang. Wayne

So yeah, I am from liverpool, but I prefer shoppign in campbelltown as the parking is easier... Hmm is that because the cars get stolen leaving empty spaces. LOL havent been around the forum for a while but have had my car now for 7 years and it just come off the lease so now I actually own it . Sweet. I am near the trash and treasure markets on Camden valley way and will meet up with anyone but it sucks now as I have to pay for my own petrol! Wayne

The 50+ one is probably way higher than shown.... Some of the oldies need help turning on the PC let alone figuring out how to do the poll. And im 34 in my 5th year of ownership

cruise with 2 cars = I dont care. Cruise in the rain = a bit concerned. Not much fun friving in the rain. I guess ill see what everyone else has to say about the weather side of things as well. does the lunch venue have a log fire? and beers? screw the weather LOL Scruff

Looks like robbo doesnt wanna go... making lots of reasons not to go. just dont come man... for all those that wanna go for a drive seeya in the morning. Scruff

Hey Brownie... Got your PM I am happy with 5 or 6 as well. We have 5 or 6 confirmed so all a go for me.

Scruffman is on for this one guys.... Hope it still happens. had to do the big suck up job with the misses to get it done as well. Will read on friday arvo and see whats happening. Wayne

It hard to describe noises in words. I just had a new diff put in my car. I was having a knocking sound coming from the diff. No loss of power but all the same the noise got worse and was replaced, and it wasnt done under warranty either. I would say that noises arent normally a good thing and should be checked by the service guys.

The scruffman is coming boys and girls.

I would say that dyno figures are flexible but at least if you run it on a dyno then make a mod and re run it then you get a comparison of percentage of power gained for that mod. But having more RWKW than the stock power figure at the flywheel seems a bit to crazy doesnt it.

Mine had 198rwkw on the C&V dyno.

Brett that is an awesome artilce on car care.

The news we get on this site from its members never seems to amase me. We are such a diverse and interesting bunch of people Hope the deal goes well for you for the coming years and into the future. Even makes me now wanna go and see what you actually do HEHEHEHEHEHEH Time to hit google a bit me thinks. Wayne

My belief is that the Trip computer uses the Average speed calculations to then work out the DTE. I guess it works out the average based on kilometeres traveled and must have some way of determining how much fuel your using perhaps on throttle position or something. As teh previous post has stated. Drive hard for a while then drive very slowly for a while and the DTE will increase in response to your average speed. I often take my car to zero but due to surging now I fill up as soon as I can after teh 80km bell chimes. Also after seeing the picture posted of how clogged up that little fuel tank cylinder can be makes me really think I am going to ask for to clean it when I get my next service done. Having large particles cloggin the inlet to the pump cant be good hey Scruff

Hey Phil, Im here with 4runner and where both wondering when you gonna add us to the starters list or are we not allowed to come.... Come to think of it maybe you dont have permission to do it adn your waiting on a certain white haired lamington eating mod to do it.

The Dyno tunes that I have seen in the Auto where done in Third gear if that's of any use to you. The SSS in his is the sign of an Auto. Scruff

So that's Toraue and Killowatts Displayed versus Speed of car. Nice big kick of torque at the start to get the tyres frying The big question is how does it feel to drive. Most people would say that its not the KW's that you feel its the torque so I am more interested in the torque figures than the Peak KW figures as some of the charts you see have small peaks of maximum HP anyways. On yours the torque seems to drop off fairly slowly so it would feel very nice to drive me thinks Oh well im no expert at all jsut my observations. Wayne

Jodie And I will be in attendance minus the ankle biters YIPPIE!!!!!!

Hey guys Check out this place the world Nuclear Association. Check out how many nuclear installations are located all round the world. All these 5 minute experts that always bring up teh one bad example. If we all thought about one bad thing we would never drive cars or fly in planes or do many other things. http://www.world-nuclear.org/wgs/decom/dat...orsdb_index.php Nuclear is a viable safe adn effective form of power generation that is a good way forward for australia in my opinion Scruff

So what is the cost of doing all this for interests sake. Scruffman

hmmmm how much effort do I put into washing the car
