  1. UHD 28' Monitor 3840x2160 resolution Is very nice Plays BF4 at that resolution 15FPS (HD7970 - will need to plug in the second one and see if it's playable at all)
  2. Was a bit of a blast - 3 of us made it and joined a group of 4 on the track. I was a few seconds off the pace (but weigh about twice the other racers ), but managed to lap a couple (and get lapped) Hands are still stinging, but the karts were good (only a week old) Definitely need practice - need to tie all the corners I took well into complete laps.
  3. About to leave for the track - hopefully they have some spots open for us and I see you there Will PM Az my phone number - if you want to be picked up from Lygon Street (or whichever hotel you ended up at) give me a buzz
  4. Looks good. What works been done? Any further plans?
  5. You're welcome. And welcome to the forums. Still trying to figure out what the earlier post was in reply to though - there's a few girls on the forum, usually some on the cruises and a couple who give better advice than most of the blokes, so yeah, girls are included (just scarce)
  6. He mean it's preferred to turn off signatures in the tapatalk app so it doesn't say "Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk " on every post you send
  7. Will head there 11am'ish tomorrow - if anyone wants to meet me and cut some laps then Definitely up for a more organised (more warning) session next weekend or another time that suits edit: if you want to head down/need a lift from the CBD Az send me a PM. Same for you upinder - if you want my mobile etc to catch up
  8. Maybe worth seeing if we can get enough if we can book a group session? (if they have any available?)
  9. Next week would be great - only suggested tomorrow as a last minute option Anytime is fine Don - add your name to the list of karters
  10. Still keen guys? Morning or arvo?
  11. Yeah - if not your car then no problems. As an aside - we're kicking around the idea of visiting the gokarts in Port Melbourne on sunday - am sure we'd be able to get you there (even if it's just so Velocity can have revenge for any BF4 deaths you've caused to him) http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87607-mt-baw-baw-cruise-2014/?p=1468906
  12. Or a 30 day account - maybe the safest if you're driving over the week (covers both citylink and eastlink - not sure of fees though)

    Next Vic Cruise

    Nah - don't think so - I just asked if it was ok if a half dozen or so walked in off the street Sunday Checked his calendar and had a booking 11-3, but could fit us in about 1:30 (probably the groups lunch break) or at 11ish Would need to double check the times are still open though. Could even do the 11 time, grab some lunch then return for the 1:30 time - I don't think the 40 laps need to be all at once (could be wrong through, but it seems like a high number for a single sitting)
  14. That's pretty much Melbourne for you You staying in the CBD or headed further out?
  15. Friday arvo and off to see Karnivool tonight - bring on the weekend :D
  16. Maybe look at one that will do an HP tune/edit rather than need an SCT (no idea on the area, so can't recommend any, sorry) Has it had a tune for the mods that are on it now? Can't imagine it would be too happy with the dump and exhaust without a tune? Those mods are also a great reason to stay clear of a generic tune - generic is setup for a stock vehicle - changing the exhaust/dump throws it even further away from a "one size fits all" option.

    Next Vic Cruise

    Just called Auscarts - they could fit us in at 11ish or 1:30ish if we have some interest $40 (need to buy 40 laps min - extra 10 laps @ $10 each) Would suggest the Service Station at St Kilda to meet (easy to find and close to the track) https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/BP/@-37.875829,144.976614,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xd7eb0b15c1a09c7d Will wait to hear back from Velocity (cruise controller) and some expressions of interest.
  18. Speak to the person who put in your SSSL's (or a proper suspension shop)? If you've still got your camber problem there's probably some more work that needs to be done other than just fitting new rims.
  19. As said ^^ Can almost guarantee that, even if you did get a generic tune you would be looking for more fairly quickly. What seems cheap at the outset will end up costing you long term. Find yourself a tuner that's recommended on the forums and you are comfortable dealing with/are on the same wavelength as you and can work with you on your plans.This way you do things right the first time and don't end up spending money to replace something you just paid for. Which model and where are you? Definitely stay away from generic tunes and intune. Spend the time on research and the money on the correct solution you're after and get the right people to do it and you'll be happy as a pig in sh*t. Try to cheap out, go ahead without a clear direction or get the wrong people to touch your vehicle and you may luck out and get it all working, but the chance of a catastrophic, expensive, time consuming failure is all too real. Keep in mind - even with "just a tune" on the car there are some components that can still be a weak link, and can vary between models and year/kms. A trusted tuner will work with you to keep you informed of these, limit the tune to not put them in danger and know the most cost-effective replacements that are needed to ensure you get the maximum benefit and longevity out of your engine. Good luck with chasing your refund. Please take your time to research, ask and confirm your upgrade path - there's a heap of experience on the forums (much of it gained by mistakes ) and any cost savings you may try to find at the outset can end up costing you a lot more in the long run. There's a heap of eBay stories throughout - everything from xCal's, injectors, intercoolers, turbo's, intakes etc that turned out to result in the person having to pay twice (or more) for the outcome they were after. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68388-just-bought-an-xr6-turbo/ has some good links to start with http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76044-modding-your-fg-xr6-turbo/ is brilliant if you have an FG - basically gives a great idea of levels and order to aim for.
