Turns out my parcel had gone into the unsorted pile and was gonna sit there for eternity. It's been sorted and should be here this week.

In other news... I taught my kids how to fry eggs and they have eaten 12 eggs since yesterday 😐

Me: My parcel hasn't arrived Auspost: Wait two weeks and call back Farken

Looked at the dyno again, considered running up the Caprice in mafless mode to gather more data. Tuned the Caprice, didn't run it up... Shagged the missus instead and had some beers

I come across cranky at times. Now that is out the way... You been asking me questions and I've been replying. Not saying you're lazy at all, clearly you aren't, but be farked if I'm answering a question you can work out yourself ie: the shifter position. Based on your progress I would hold you to a higher standard of question asking anyway Any farken way, keep going, you are doing well and you will get it sorted shortly. Not many people can do what you've done.

There ya go, you could have worked it out pretty quickly by fitting it yourself. Don't get me wrong I like helping, but this is not something you needed help with. I have questions as well about stuff and things, but for the most part I get off my arse and work it out, so I'm not asking someone to do the work for me. Happy to help when people are genuinely stuck

Looked at my dyno today, wife covered the tower for me

Sorry sir I'm not a ram person, if you aren't going to help me I'm going to hang up 😤

Got a day of car servicing tomorrow. Trans service for the Caprice and updated mafless tune, gotta dial it in a lot more on the dyno. Oil and filter for the wife's car, air filter and gear oil. Bloody Caprice is trying to chuck the AC belt all the time, might be time for a new tensioner. Either that or gotta watch less Cletus, clearly LS George is having an influence on my belt. Might even do some more barra sh*t one day

Fit the shifter linkage and tell us.

Yes I am so grateful to have this gift.

I've still got that ram in the cupboard if you want it lol. No doubt you've upgraded since then

Going forward, I won't to reply to messages asking for tune help, until it's paid for up front. I've spent hundreds of hours, probably closer to thousands, helping people for free. I've released information to the community that tuners would have charged hundreds for. My dyno, my parts and time put into developing the territory, my tools, mortgage, kids etc etc, don't pay for themselves. Yeah I wanna help, but people have taken too much. There's more to this story and I'm not naming names but there are several. I have my own dyno and tools and don't have anyone telling me to hurry up and send it out the door. You get what you pay for and the people that pay nothing are getting exactly that. On a positive note I actually charge less than any workshop out there....for now

Yep have learnt a thing or two along the way

Replaced the front wheel bearings on the Caprice today and went for a test drive, bringing along the draggy. Tried a couple 0 to 100s but not much luck. First time I floored it, the tyre slipped, so I got out of it, rather than do a skid. Second time I got into it slowly and did a 6 second 0 to 100. Third attempt realised a 5.5 second lap, but still accelerating slowly from the start. Either it has a single spinner or my hectic safety pack diff is worn out. Gonna need to upgrade this car substantially to bring it in line with a modded Falcon, although the upside is it does it all without a turbo, so there is hope on the horizon. Also my boot space can hold at least 6 bodies, maybe 8, so that will come in handy one day no doubt

Noodles and eggs ftw.

I was expecting mag wheels and honestly not even disappointed 👌

Yeah you both gotta be on 250k plus to afford that comfortably.

That's pretty up there but it always has been in that area. I looked at a 2 bed rental in Maroochydore about 15 years ago and it was $400pw even then.

I bought an over the radiator intake for the shop car, vcm mafless with infill panels. Should arrive this week or early next week. Will have to get the tune dialled right in, good enough isn't good enough anymore Happy to discuss more personal stuff in person when you carnts come for free dyno tuning or the next cruise lol

Shifter will go where the linkage makes it go.

Remortgaged the house, got $150k cash. 37k dyno, 14k car, 70k shed, 9k boat, 10k coke and hookers aka debt consolidation, 10k left or something like that. Money doesn't go as far as you think it does ay. Remember when having a grand was the sh*t?!

Did some trans tuning on the Caprice today. So bloody convenient having a dyno, I can make a change and then just run it through the gears while watching the data. I may have tried flooring it through the gears, basically wheelspin the whole way through the first 4 gears lol.
