    Formula One world championship

    When they took away refueling they removed a massive part of the strategy of a race. I loved all the long fuel/short fuel battles, it gave you options if you had bad start etc and you could get out of the shit. I'm with the BBC F1 fans bring it back haha. They sort of have the same...

    Little Things You Hate

    Haha Benny Hinn! I used to see that dude sometimes when I turned the tv on in a daze of a morning. I used to think to myself, who is this clown, looked up wiki one day, saw that he sent out via his mailing list a request for donations for the purchase of a Gulfstream G4 private jet...later...

    Formula One world championship

    As said before, exploding tyres...the best thing to happen to F1 in 2013 haha. What a race! A bit of a bummer not to see Hamilton follow through because that pole lap was astonishing, he demolished the opposition and till his tyre exploded was looking good for the win. Whether his tyres'...

    can i cancel home phone and still get ADSL 2 internet????

    Why don't you just unplug the phone? If no one ever calls you on it apart from telemarketers there is no reason to have a phone plugged in. Just FYI if you can't get naked ADSL at your exchange you can save a heap by combining your phone with TPG instead of paying telstra. I pay $49/mo for...

    120mm SID XX dual air compared to 125mm Fox FIT

    As you two eluded to it's too much oil on top of the air piston; it migrates past as you guys said. I have exactly the same forks '12 120mm RLC FIT and if I start only getting 100mm travel I just bang take the top off the air leg and use a syringe to take out any excess oil...back to buttery...

    Webber....jeeesus...I don't know whether the dude makes his own bad luck or the F1 gods are forever collectively against him, has anyone else ever had so much shit go wrong over so many years? How come Vettel's car rarely shits itself, I don't understand. I genuinely think that he though...

    Best T.V show ever!!!

    +2 I reckon Micallef has missed the mark with some of his shows but Mad as Hell is for the most part pure gold.

    Seb needs a season or two in a shitbox car, hopefully that might happen next year with the huge rule changes. Ever since his first year at RBR he has arguably had the best car on the grid and now his sense of entitlement has gone off the richter. Remember Hamilton when he was WC, the dudes...

    Formula One world championship

    I don't really have that much of an issue with that Vettel did in terms of the overtake as he's a grade A wanker, always has been and it's his character. What kind of irks me is that he got into that position because Mark was sticking to team orders and he wasn't. Given on the lap Seb pitted...

    Metal Working! Fitting, Machining, Welding, Sheet and General Metal Fab

    Does the wheel have to be solid and is the design pre determined? If this is the case then that is the single only scenario where you can build a lighter wheel out of Delrin that will be adequately strong enough. If the wheel does not have to be solid you could build a significantly lighter...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    Ahh Braddon, I remember the 98-03 glory days, cars all over the place, oil all over the road, taxis and old dudes in Volvos' unwillingly drifting...good times haha. Everytime I go back to Canberra to visit the folks, usually travel down on a Friday night, I drive through Braddon in hope, always...

    Metal Working! Fitting, Machining, Welding, Sheet and General Metal Fab

    I don't really understand how you can say Delrin is stronger than Carbon? Lighter, sure, if only by a tiny bit per unit volume but Delrin's Tensile strength is 10% that of laminated carbon (rough figures) and it's Flexural modulus is so low comparatively it's hilarious. And you can cut it with...
