  1. I have squeaky floor boards so I can navigate my house in the dark lol
  2. I installed a bunch of smart light globes around the house recently. I linked them to my Google account so now I can tell my phone to switch whatever light on to whatever brightness or colour. You can also set them to turn on and off at various times, the same as setting your alarm. Kind of expensive at $10 each but beats getting off the couch at movie time or even getting into bed. Can set them real low too
  3. There might be a couple hundred rpm difference, that's less than what a hot or cold day will change, hence not meaningful. It's something but not much.
  4. @Slowxr6t look up what dynomite performance do with their modified manifolds. Rajab also make a factory style T4 manifold. To answer the question, it is unlikely to see any meaningful difference if there is a divider or not.
  5. Yes I suppose so. I've never gotten stuck at the bottom of a squat, had some slow as reps before. My bar is bent so once it gets slightly heavy it bends even more and tries to yeet the weights with any sideways movement.
  6. Far out man that's nearly as good as getting a new turbo for Xmas!
  7. Yeah I reckon I'll sell it. I don't use collars while benching for that reason. I do use them while squatting though so the weights stay put if I miss step walking it out.
  8. I bought a new to me squat/bench rack yesterday. My old one has removable pins to adjust the height and it's not the ideal squat height for me. Also the legs aren't braced to each other so it moves around a bit. It's ok for benching but has no safety bars. The new one has hooks for the bar spaced a few inches apart so I'll have no trouble getting the right height. The legs are braced so it should be more stable. It also has safety bars so there is no chance of getting stuck under the bar when benching. Over the last ten years I've only gotten stuck once and another time my wrist gave out and dropped it on my chest. None of that sh*t will happen now. I only paid $200 for it so I'm fairly happy overall.
  9. Ah gotcha, yeah when I was signed out there was an ad between the logo and the bottom but only at the top when signed in.
  10. I just signed out and in again. First there was a banner ad that said ad removed, click for details. Then the page said whoops something went wrong, then immediately went to a full screen ad. After closing it there is just a banner ad at the top of the activity feed. I clicked this thread and another banner ad at the top. Going between this thread and the activity feed there is a banner ad at the top.
  11. I use a blocker on the desktop but not mobile, I only see the ads on mobile obviously. I logged out of both when I checked it before.
  12. It didn't work, banner straight away from the activity feed and when I went to click this thread a full screen ad had to be closed.
  13. I get banner ads and full screen ads non stop, I doubt a donation will remove them.
  14. No and no...but if it's got a turbo then it's good in my book
  15. Hmmmm yeah seems to need some level of reconditioning. An occy strap should get you by for a while.
  16. Spent $30 on lotto, won $50 on lotto. Later nerds
  17. The term is "captive nut", they're used all the time. I dunno if this is exactly what's needed, I remember someone telling me about a guy in Port Augusta doing the conversion in his driveway, pretty sure that was what he did.
  18. I'll say the same thing I say to all the grannies... I'll make it fit I've never actually checked, I heard you have to weld some nuts into the front chassis rail to bolt the subframe in or something like that.
  19. I'll keep it for now, perhaps I'll use the running gear in my Falcon one day
  20. The na territory. Haha my turbo one is in very good condition, apart from having no engine in it right now.
  21. I bought myself a whole ass tailgate for $60 yesterday. I need to swap out the reverse camera and a couple of other bits but all in all a good buy. The old one has a large dent and the plastic garnish is completely gone, no doubt from a run away trailer.
  22. I just had a 2 week break to let my joints recover a bit. Now I've started another 2 week easy stretch, just 50% weight or so for whatever reps feels ok, most likely 20 give or take. After that I'll jump into strength training aka Mad Cow if everything feels ok, which it should.
  23. If it's tune related there will be a code stored in the pcm. You can get a tactrix cable and download a free version of Forscan to see what it is. If it's a mechanical issue I would check the overboost valve, it might be malfunctioning. You can just remove it entirely and see if the problem comes back.
  24. @El Andrew if you start going through O2 sensors frequently the issue will be the angle of the dangle. It should be much closer to the top of the pipe. It might not matter much with 98 octane but if it happens then that's where to look.
