    Disabling Supercharger

    Thought the above comment two but rego and insurance for 2 cars is sh*t and I know the temptation to take the VX out on the road will overpower my better judgement. Vicroads say regardless of the operation/power boost of the supercharger it can not be there full stop (even with engineering...

    Disabling Supercharger

    I have under a year on my P2's which is why I am asking, otherwise I would save. I'm curious too as to whether it is power/weight or just SC. I remember last time I was reading though, except for specific cars there can be no SC which is why I looked into disabling it. So you can run an SC...

    Larundel Pyschiatric Hospital (Bundoora)

    If you are in Melbourne the Melb drains are supposedly a good walk, obviously don't go hunting drains in winter. I'm looking to reattempt the old dental hostial near the Eliz street roundabout soon in the CBD. Seems fairly tightly boarded up but there is a possibility.

    Sack that sandilands?

    I dislike Kyle Sandilands to the point I could dislike a person without wishing harm upon them but this is a cheap way to bring him down. I can't believe I am defending Sandilands but at the same time I can't believe that he is being bought down over this (assuming of course he had no prior...

    Larundel Pyschiatric Hospital (Bundoora)

    My friends went to Larundel recently, I was working :( Apparantly there is little to see now apart from a fairly destroyed building, supposed to be interesting none the less though. Security jumped on them within half an hour, just warnings to leave etc but be warned they are about.

    Disabling Supercharger

    Yeah was thinking that. If anybody knows the legalitlys of having the SC fitted but inactive either through not having the belt or an under the bonnet switch for the electonic clutch I think the SC has. Guess I will keep looking into the temporary removal of the SC.

    Disabling Supercharger

    Can one disable the supercharger without removing it from the car? I ask becasue a family members supercharged 6 is up for sale but alas, probationary licence. If not can you just take it off and replace the belt and parts of the manifold? Cheers -Slippy

    Yep ^^^ HoldenGirl putting up an add isn't an offer, it is an invitation to treat. Douche bag then made the offer when he "offered money". Invitation to treat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The consideration must be exchanged for a contract to be complete. Until then she is able to...

    un-claimed tax??

    If you have filed a tax return each year as you should then I don't think you will have unclaimed tax. Are you thinking superannuation? If you haven't filed your tax don't hunt for unclaimed money as you will probably get slugged with a fine.

    Desperatly need help. Scammers

    Yeah, that is a scam alright. Just take bank statement of where he claims to have deposited the money (since the message says they deposited the money rather than sent you the cheque) to prove that no money was exchanged. Apart from that when you contact police etc they will go over all of the...

    [VIC] Borrow? Coil Spring Compressors?

    Yeah, cost the same as a six pack anyway. Just don't fire a coil into your chin if you haven't done this before. Obviously be careful.

    Desperatly need help. Scammers

    Im not sure if I understand correctly but if they send the money required I don't see the issue and if they don't send the money then you haven't received consideration and the contract in invalid anyway. How far did the deal get? For it to be binding you need: -Intention - Do you both intend...

    Is this an unmarked police car?

    should i buy pair of crossovers for my splits?

    The crossover will allow you (to a certain degree) to decide the frequency at which your 6" stop recieving audio and sending it to the splits instead. ie a crossover with a roll off frequency of 4kHz will send things over 4kHz to the tweets and anything below to the 6". Then you can also adjust...

    Real effort and cost of shift kit

    I was looking into getting a shift kit for my car but the cost of auto fluid is more than I can afford if I have to change it all. Is it necessary to change it all over and if it isn't how much will I lose in the process. Cheers -Slippy

    Jaycar kits? (Sheilds self)

    Thought I'd ask if anybody has tried any of the Jaycar kits, mainly the fuel mixture adjustment one. If I were inclined to learn etc, how much hassle would be involved in running diag on the car via laptop to see where the car leans etc and then adjust it with the kit? Cheers -Slippy

    3 Mobile - Quick question

    My awesome 3 branded phone automatically switched back to automatic network selection :( I unbranded it but then switched to Optus anyway, I got a free Xbox 360 which made me smile.

    I HATE 3! I lived right on the border between 3 and roaming and was constantly stuck between the two with no service. Now with Optus, little better but.

    what is your favourite takeaway for dinner ?

    Chinese :) Om Nom Nom Nom. Terriakyi Chicken and Rice. Since droppping extra weight I now avoid 'fast food' at all costs. Seriously the stuff isn't even cheap anymore. What is the benefit?

    Handling and Auto modifications legally on P2

    Yah, further limiting the speed is pointless IMO since people don't generally follow the initial speed limit anyway. I can see a lot of frustrated drivers on the Calder (110kph after Diggers Rest outbound) being stuck behind plated drivers too.

    High Pitch Noise from Speakers

    GAH! Capacitors do not work that way. Did you run your power wires down one side and your audio down the opposite side of the car? If not, you should. Otherwise check all your cabling for both connections, quality and make sure they don't cross power wires.

    [Ecotec] Flat Top Pistons

    Flat top pistons came up in discussion recently and I'm wondering a few things. Why you would? (power increase estimates etc) What it would cost? (everything needed) Worthwhile? (extra trouble vs benefits) Cheers

    Vic P-Plater laws- Engine mods.

    Seriously? It's just two standard horns each at a different frequency running simultaniously. Sounds a little like the statesman horns. Don't cars come stock with 2 horns sometimes anyway?

    putting password on external hard drive?

    Yeah another +1 for encryption. Bypassing a password on a HDD isn't that hard for an average pleb whereas it takes a little more to figure out an encryption. It depends on why you want to hide your stuff. If it's 'pr0n' hidden from the missus or kids, password is fine. Basically unless you...
