What Grinds My Gears.
optus isnt too bad, although if you have a say 10gig plan they split it in 2 and allocate half for on peak (12pm-11:59pm) and half for off peak(12am-11:59am). if you use up all of the off peak first that off peak allocation gets speed limited and the on peak still recieves full speed. BUT if you use up the on peak allocation first it speed limits both sets of allocations. meaning if you don't use the net between midnight and noon, which most people that work can't do your only getting half of what your plan allows for.

Custom Gauges
what about for those into gaming have super mario or some character on the gauge back ground and his hand as the needle. just like watches. look funny seeing their arm swing round real fast on the tach or somethin.

NOPE i don't see that driving like a dick head. i see that as tryin to get my girlfriend and her brothers out of what could have turned into a very violent situation. and after being punched in the face i don't think either me or him were prepared to hop out and talk things through. and other than that i have never been hassled or pulled over by the cops, nor have i given them any reason to.

wont let me say F%&K so... ANAL RAPIST PSYCOTIC POOFTER C*NTS IN FALCONS. not all but because of the actions of this one guy, most of them I'm a Holden and Toyota guy myself so no big deal dodging FALCONS, just a part of daily life. while i was in perth for my girls 18th we had to go visit her dad so i had my girl (18) in her mums car with her 2 brothers in the back (15&16) and i was driving. decided to stop in at the HJ in the Warwick/Hammersley area FOR JUST SOME ONION RINGS. so i cut thru the empty car park and face the drive thru parralel to the entrance and to the left is a FALCON a little way back from the entrance. i drive in and roll down the window. next thing i get is a little skinny smeg yellin at me for apparantly cutting him off, so i decide to chuck it into reverse. moved back all of 6 INCHES and hit this FALCON while the guys standing at my window. so i floor it and pull out of the drive thru and park behind the shops. Girlfriend and bro hop out to check out the damage while i stay in the car. This FALCON comes from the other way and the guy jumps out from the passenger side so I'm calling for everybody to get back in the car. FINALLY the get back and this guys just about at the front of the car. SLAM it into reverse(auto) and drive backwards tryin to get away from him. he cut across the front of the car so i whacked it into drive and floored it. with the window still open i copped a hard punch to the jaw. got away for a bit. stopped at a servo filled up. Went back to get one of the brothers who had gon back to get the guys rego. as we pick him up they spot us again and we take off. lost them once again. i decide its too risky and head back to the girlfriends mums place. as we head back they spot us once more and its on, they couldnt keep up as i was flyin doin 120 on a 60 road :dance:. Thought we lost them and went back to her place, me girlfriend and her brothers jump out and bang on the front door this FALCON rocks up at the driveway. the guys staning at the end of the drive and at that moment a friend of my girlfriends family who trains in MMA flies out the door and get in this blokes face. the guys missus jumps her skanky ass out of the car and cries "I GOT KIDS IN THE CAR". so the mate backs down real quick and these randoms piss of real quick. I havent since driven another FORD or been in a FALCON. and only just had HJ's again last week, keep in mind all of this stuff happend in may. now i try to steer clear of any EF-EL falcons in a darkish blue colour. now you can see my reasoning :yes: CHEERS Ryan

4k Stumbles When I Just Put My Foot Down
Sounds like shes running rich. start it, let it idle. then wind in the mixture screw in (clockwise) untill the motor sound like its gonna stall then wind the mix screw out (anti-clockwise) 2.5 turns, this should give a decent mix for a K motor. the 2.5 mightnt be pefect, to get it to its best toy with it (1/4 turn each way MAX) till it sounds like its running at its best. just make sure theres no SMEG, gunk, crap, stuff, foriegn matter or excrement in the jets :dance: CHEERS Ryan

I Just Got A Free Corolla!
hey mate, welcome to rollaclub. but yes you have provided pictures as to why it was free:p i have a clutch plate here for ya. not a complete setup but the plate has plenty of meat on it. Run it on straight unleaded, K engines had hardend valve seats from the factory. thats what they do to old cars these days to get them to run on unleaded as they suffer from valve seat ressesion if they don't run the valve saver r have hardened valve seats. so go ahead and run on straight ULP no additives. the hose on the rocker cover is for emissions, but wont really do any harm, just grab one of the oil breather filters from places like repo etc. the speedo feels like it 10kmh too slow and all the other cars are over taking??...WELCOME TO THE JOYS OF OWNING A K ENGINED CAR. Are ya free this week som time, i might come and check it out, IF ITS SAFE lol. give ya a hand with some stuff. CHEERS Ryan
