  1. morning keithy and all. yesterday I heard on the radio an ad about the NBN and all the homes and businesses they've connected and how its under budget and ahead of schedule or something. it's like I was just leaving a job where a business had been screwed by the NBN and has lost thousands of dollars in sales. they'd be one of the businesses they spoke about being connected.... thanks everyone who voted liberal, I wouldn't have half as much work if it wasn't for fiber to the node....
  2. whack some stop leak in the cooling system and follow the directions on the bottle. haha but seriously check things over like the waterpump, you can even pull turbo heat shields off n have a look under there if you still can't find leak. the coolant is going somewhere, like keith said get a torch. but if you ask me bang some stop leak in it and she'll be right mate hahahahahahahhaa
  3. always getting maximum value from car parts
  4. sounds like you need to find somebody who can give you a rim job
  5. nah I dont know what the person above me is saying but best practice is to weld the bonnet bolts so no chance of it coming loose
  6. yeah it really isn't noticeable, turbo falcons are slow as! especially when you put 15psi of boost into one. ugh. so slow. Make sure to tell the tuner this as the beauty of a custom tune is they should be able to make it drive the way you want it to. Some good tuners have been recommended. I would steer clear of having them do work to your car that an ordinary mechanic can do unless you like paying lots of money. Stick with them for tuning and performance mods. Ring them both in the morning sometime.
  7. im noticing youtube is breaking my ad blocker. things like I'll be served ads when im logged into youtube and no ads when im not logged in. this and I suddenly cant background youtube videos on IOS devices anymore (yeah yeah you can pay for this feature but it used to work fine for free)
  8. Wired somebody's house with cat6 from the lead in to the modem point yesterday. The old phone cables had lots of joins and was clearly installed by idiots. they are on a FTTN NBN plan. They rang today saying it was working better than ever yesterday and now today it has dropped to almost nothing. Spent 15 mins on the phone and then he realized his internet is shaped! we both had a good laugh about it! hahaha
  9. Been getting lots of big jobs lately and I'm loving it. At the point now where I need a depot/premises to grow further.
  10. don't touch it. I quite liked the upgraded sway bars on my old BF so would recommend having the front n rear done. would look at the rear end suspension linkages/bushings too if you are keen to improve handling.
  11. hahah but Steve has never done a skid on any public roads, he drives like an old person
  12. hell yeah I would, gotta have that touchscreen. hahahaha but on a serious note im looking for one that just does the coffee - no milk.
  13. mmmm im tempted to get a coffee machine myself, currently rocking a nespresso pod machine which is alright but the coffee ends up costing like $50 a kilogram in pods. morning people, been absolutely flogged with work lately.
  14. id upgrade the internals

    The new look

    I really like the look of the FGX falcons, yours looks sweet except I like my cars lifted 4x4 spec height (stock height).
  16. coil packs as suggested above should cure this problem. depending on how you drive it, the box will need to be rebuilt after upping the power so I would budget that in.
  17. convert car to turbo then get it tuned.
  18. I agree, they also like to mess around customers - telling them its their wifi or homes cabling that is faulty. The government / nbnco needs to fix the CVC cost per megabit bullcrap. They have been working on it with recent changes but the cost is far from reasonable when the idea is to provide high speed internet to more people.
  19. I just feel like they swing a few spanners and then a bunch of actual mechanics come in to finish the job. They don't hide this but at the same time I would have much preferred this to be over a few episodes rather than crammed into one video. they crammed it in quite well but I feel like this is completely different to the original mighty car mods. all that being said I am stoked at the results they got and I think that is a real achievement.
  20. welcum to this community. how to fix your sound system is simple, buy a wrecked FG XR6 turbo and put all the bits into your g6. could be transmission related but it could be worn differential support bushings which is a common problem in these cars.
  21. all I would do is make sure shes insured to drive it and long as she isn't hooning or being stupid the cars covered. if she writes it off and dies, then go get a new wife. simples
  22. loving the economy from the long range tank... not going to enjoy filling it up
  23. all that room for a turbo unless that's the intake side
