  1. I tossed up chasing them up, but decided if I was going to go brakes I was going to do all four corners (which would need the rims for the rears at least) If I was going to go rims than I was going to go at least Brembo 6/4's If I was going to go Brembo 6/4's it wasn't too much of a stretch to the Harrop's/AP etc Harrop's got the nod
  2. Try a different provider - they'll tell Telstra to fix the line
  3. Give this a try - might let you know how close you are to the exchange for starters http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au/ If you're too far away then you're too far away, but if not push for the other options.
  4. Looking over my past posts I think 2100 was ok, 2300 was spinning. Looking back - my 60' was solid 2.1s (unable to get under 2.0s) - then once I put on the shockworks coilovers and was a solid 1.9 with a 1.8 my best that night. Your MT's should get you out of the hole with better traction than my 245 street tyres were able to. Am still very noob though and nothing I do yet I can reliably repeat, so each of my suggestions are made up of the best bits I've noted from different runs. One day I'll string them all together and go "WOW"
  5. Yeah, stall should get you out of the trap quicker. I think I got 1.8 on 245 Innvo's with about 310 at the rear Keep in mind, without the tranny tuned the revs drop right off after a few seconds?? when stalling it up. (if I remember correctly - "safety feature") I'm on a 12.1 atm, but few mph slower at the end than you. (dying to get out for another play - have 10 more wasps to play with now and some earlier/stronger boost)
  6. Can't see the slip. What was the 60?
  7. This was my issue - have wanted better brakes since I got the car - only thing I've really been unhappy with since day 1. Never went ahead because I liked the stock rims too much to change them over to ones that'd take the bigger kits. Rubber turned up this arvo - just waiting to hear back from Harrop on the braided lines that were missing from the delivery :S
  8. "Bogan Bingo" tonight. Esky's full Getting picked up in a half hour. Didn't even need to change out of my normal clothes to "dress up" for the night. Win/Win Guess I could just call it Bingo instead.
  9. MAAATTTTTTT NOOOOOOO It's been nice and quiet - don't go poking
  10. Still fscking cut with this client. 30 odd years doing this and he's the first time I've ever hung up on a client and basically told them to fsck off. He's been a client for at least 20 years - for him to have gotten me to this point makes me feel sick to the stomach. Have got some outstanding work with him that he'll have to get in touch regarding. Am looking forward to the next call.
  11. Let me: IDE Speed: .... SSD Speed: ........................................ NVME Speed: ............................................................................................................................................................ (edit: Not to scale)
  12. Need security here. I do love the retina scan on the Surface though (if that's what it's called) Look at the camera and it logs you in
  13. Lol - yeah. If I've got fast boot enabled I'm at the login screen by the time the monitor wakes up.
  14. I keep looking for pics of him and Fluff living it up in QLD and Harrop to chime in that they never got an order
  15. I like the way you think.... Have got this one sitting here waiting for me to add it to the existing one to do just that Have had some family sh*t crop up the last couple of months that has put a halt to my PC and race car sim setup short term - hopefully back on track over the next couple of weeks
  16. Nah - you should be getting grip now, instead of single spinning
  17. Got 2x16x free and 2 full speed NVMe slots - think I'll be fine
  18. Fscking part deliveries. I'm a patient person, but don't fscking promise what you won't deliver and leave it to the client to chase up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brakes Brakes ordered on 10/08 (over 2 weeks ago) - was quite content and happy to wait for delivery - was expecting a fortnight minimum. "out by end of week" (end of week being 12/08) Next tues - after J@t had to chase them up "sorry, been a delay - hopefully out by friday" (friday being the 19/08) J@t chasing up on the Friday - only got response Monday "Sorry - delayed - being shipped today" (Monday 22/08) J@t chasing them again got a response yesterday "sorry - we've been flat out - aiming to ship these tomorrow" (being today) Thanks heaps J@t for tee'ing up the deal and chasing up for me - this is in no way a reflection of himself, nor the way he operates - he's got nothing but gratitude from me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tyres Order and paid over the phone on 19/08 "No probs - we'll get these out today and email you an invoice" (Friday) Tues - no email, no tyres "I'll email again - will send tracking info" Weds - asked them to send to a different email with tracking details - get invoice, but no tracking Today - asked about delivery "Yeah - there was a delay - they went out the night before last (24/08)" Ask for tracking number Thu 25/08/2016 4:29 PICKUP (that's last night) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As I said - I'm a patient person but fsck me I totally understand delays - appreciate that things don't always go as planned, but it shouldn't be up to the customer to be the one making contact when your stated ETA's can't be fulfilled by yourself. "They'll be there when they get there" is a totally acceptable ETA (for me) if that's the way it has to be. Once you give a timeframe people start planning around it - car was booked in for a service and work that coincided with the ETA for the brakes (well after the first time for expected delivery) to get everything done at once. A simple message from the supplier that they weren't available when expected would have saved a hell of a lot of stuffing around and cost.
  19. Pfft - SSD is oldschool M.2 NVME SSD FTMFW!
  20. You forgot M.E. That was the worst of the lot AFAIC Vista was pretty bad compatibility wise but I was able to use it. 8 didn't come close to those two in dreadfulness and 8.1 did a lot to solve some niggles. Am happy with 10, and as @johnxr6t said - moving forward seems to be incremental updates rather than new OS's
