I just got my ultra high powered vehicle license. Cost $81 all up but if you don't have it and your car has enough power, is the same as driving unlicensed. Better safe than sorry hey!

Sealing up leaks is the key. I did a few recently and it made a massive difference in the room. Running AC cost stuff all with a large solar system

Overpowered is good, our lounge room wall unit can heat the whole house if you leave all the doors open and will take the lounge from 10C up to 15 C in about half an hour. Lol our bedroom one is the same, the only downside is it's a bit noisier than the lower powered units, but on the 45C+ days it's the bees knees!

Haha cheers, the singing covered up the sh*tty guitar playing lol. Plus I had to scroll the ultimate guitar app cos it won't auto scroll unless you pay Yeah man is been cold af lately, frost here most mornings. Days are getting longer though and pretty quickly at that. Still cold though lol

Fair enough, yeah mate smash it out then relax. Missus talked me into playing a few songs on guitar. Sounded pretty good considering I haven't picked it up in months

Eh it's all gone into singing so it's not a total loss. May as well just pay to get it done man, save you the headache of dealing with it. Haha you're right about keeping at it lol. Pretty sure I still have a bag of baby clothes in a wardrobe in the shed from 12 years ago.

Yes and no, yes cos it's a steel string, no cos I still don't have any passion for guitar anymore. How's it going settling into the new place? You got all your stuff there yet?

Yes it's a bit of a coincidence

Looking at stuff on marketplace and I see a cheap guitar. I say to the missus, "I'll get that and drop the lad at his friends house while I'm there". Turns out the seller is the father lol. I have a nice vintage acoustic but a cheap one will be good for the family

You can only try.

You can try to fit the studs but they might just pull straight out when you tighten them. If that is the case then you pull the manifold off, helicoil them and that will be sorted.

You need 18 inch wheels for territory front brakes, the stock Falcon 17s will barely fit but if there is a stick on wheel weight there it'll hit the caliper.

It currently works based off injector duty cycle, although there is the provision for map input. It comes on at about 20% duty cycle and the injectors are maxing out at 65% up top. The water meth unit is operating at about 50% capacity right now, it can be adjusted up and down and also the injection slope can be modified to flow more or less up top. Hmmm nitro sounds expensive in more ways than one lol

It's got a 0.6mm and a 0.7mm jet pre tb. I don't have the right thread tap for the port injection install, plus I CBF pulling the manifold off to do it. Also my port injection kit is specced for 700kw, it has 6x 0.5mm jets, that would be overkill for what I'm doing now.

Well it's happy with 13 degrees in the middle and 16 up top, still at 26ish psi. Dunno what it's making for power but my guess is low to mid 500s. So yerp there's that, I don't really have any other plans for it right now. I was gonna send the turbo a bit harder and I still might, but I'm just gonna enjoy it for a while before I do more wrenching.

Raspberry flavoured methanol acquired, time to add some timing

Yep I have noticed the long duration pulls have benefitted immensely with the water, as far as keeping the iat low and the timing stable. I do have a hygrometer but it's for home brew, not fuel mixing. I'll just mix it by volume, it's good enough, not that crucial and the knock control is in the tune rather than the addition of the water meth. The fuel can change up or down a point, I've got it very rich anyway cus it still has stock turbo pistons. For example, I could switch the water off and the current tune will be fine, it just pulls all the timing after a long run.

Yeah bro that comment got you reported. Enjoy the bin fool

Yep it holds it to 6400 where the rev limiter is. This car would be perfect for traffic light drags if that's your thing. My nearest traffic light is probably 30km away so the big turbo was never really an issue, I could just wait for the 100kph sign and let it rip. With the converter, it'll hold 3500rpm and full boost on the converter but that just smashes the tires. It is noticeably better with normal driving though, you can get it boosting in the blink of an eye. Power wise it's getting back to the point where you can't really floor it very often, cos it hits the speed limit too quickly. Once I have the water meth system set up properly, I will push it to where the turbo runs out, just to see where that is. I suppose that'll be 30psi/600awkw but we'll see how that goes.

Yep it goes pretty good hey. It's now on 26.5psi, 98 octane fuel, 6 degrees of timing, water injection and is a little bit quicker than the clip. I tried a launch and let a fair bit of the smoke out of the front tyres in first and second. I've organised to purchase some methanol tomorrow and I'll have that after lunch. That is what will allow me to safely increase timing and make more power. At this stage of the tune, each degree will pick up around 15kw at the wheels. I'll update as things progress

I'm happy for you man, it's gotta be the best feeling sleeping at your own house

My aunt had a child at 46, naturally conceived, you never know will happen ay. You sleeping at the new house tonight?

I owned a suitcase of clothes, a guitar and a car when I met my missus, it was enough for me. Now we have so much stuff it's insane and that's just mine and hers. Just wait till you have kids lol.

Hell yeah man that's farken sick. It's a good idea using the pros, it's a mofo moving everything yourself.
