Poor atomisation from dirty or worn injectors can do this but can also dead a piston. Get it checked. Ask hambo if this is a common issue.

Time to LS the van
Turbo LS-swapped Hyundai iLoad sleeper (streetmachine.com.au)
This thing was for sale for around $50k not too long ago and made quite an impression at powercruise when it lit up the main straight, I thought it was the normal track van but turned tyres surprisingly well for a quiet beast.

I love sleepers and that might be one of best I've seen. 515 horsies at the wheels though wtfTime to LS the van

You could definitely sleep a few people conformably in the back of that van.

I reckon more like 4 in bunks or 6 on a futon.

Not sure if this belongs here but my riding mate wanted a full face helmet, he saw a Troy Lee downhill lid, 'new, boxed, unused' on marketplace in his size. $150 less than retail. He organised a visit to the sellers house. He said the guy selling it opens the door and gives him the helmet box to look at, then gives some story about ordering the wrong size and can't return it.
My mate asks if he can open it and try it on. Guy selling it says 'no, it's brand new, not used, if you try it and don't buy it I have to change the advert and drop the price'. My mate says he just wants to see if it fits but the seller won't let him open the box without handing over the $250 first.
He told him to shove it up his arse and left, said it was a great way to spend a Sunday evening doing a 2 hour round trip through suburbia.. Also though it was weird how a little South Asian guy was selling a XL helmet.

his flabber is totally gastered
Gotta wonder how the seller knew it was the wrong size if he hadn't opened it..........
I assume he'll steal one of every size and sell them as his head keeps altering.

thought bike was delivered with Mino-link in High position..
had sorta half-checked but not really...
getting a few more pedal strikes recently, thinking "if this is in High, Low is going to suck a bit".. (ie, 8mm lower BB)
and?... yup...

Put the craftworks up for sale to buy parts for another build, bloke messages me this morning to buy it, sweet.
Pull the bike out and it suddenly dawns on me that I have put about 700 in parts on it not including frame and I'm asking 500 for it.
Glad he wanted to knock me down in price so it gave me a chance to say no, the parts on it are perfect for the build I'm doing now.
Sometimes it pays to look before you leap.
Still going to sell the frame, if I can't get 150 I'll just keep it until I rebuild it again

I loathe haggling in person. Selling my wife's mountain bike last year, asking $700, women messages me, asks a few questions then said the bike sounds perfect and she will buy it. Comes around that evening with her dad, inspects bike, says it's good then asks if I'll take $400, I say I thought we were in agreement with the advertised price, she then says 'we'll they are $1000 new so my offer is fair' I decline, so she offers $500, 'that's all I have on me' I'm like 'yeah no deal.' So her dad rummages through his wallet and says 'I'll make it $600, final offer' I'm rather peeved but I agree just because I'm really finding this girl annoying. Also what kind of white occa parent calls their Bogan daughter 'Silvia'?

Being who he is
A Nissan lover?
Few years ago a mate was selling his car, nothing flash boggo commode. Advertised for $7k from hazy memory. Same conversations with no mention of price. Guy test drives, checks safety cert etc. Shakes hands and then produces an envelope with $6k in cash. Mate says where is the other thousand? That's all I have. Mate hands the envelope back and says bye. Guy comes back a few hours later with his mum who hands over the envelope and $1,000 in all manner of notes. When they go to leave she says she didn't want the son to buy a car from someone who jacked the price up after agreeing on a sale...
Bit the bullet and bought a coil shock for the Six. Finally get the spring and mounting bits, press it all together and chuck it on the bike to make sure everything clears etc. Tighten up the top bolt no problems (4 and 5mm allen keys), give the lower bolt (5mm Allen and 13mm socket) an extra eighth turn just to be sure and the farkin head snaps off the bolt. After paraphrasing the top row of the keyboard I've emailed advance traders to see if they can sort a replacement bolt for a 17 year old frame but I'm not holding much hope for that... FAAAARRRRK!!!!!

is it anything particularly special?
original a button head socket cap bolt? (M6? M8?) with a nyloc?
this one (later model??) has what looks like normal socket head bolt chucked in (and oem at top of shock) https://a.allegroimg.com/s1024/0ce4f4/89e304be4eedaab77391a7e65164
and non-nyloc on other side https://a.allegroimg.com/s1024/0cd1a3/98d454664099b703d64be01aba6b

That's pretty much the setup I had, hmmm... same year too. M8 with a nyloc, guess I just need to measure how long the non threaded part needs to be...
That's the shit thing, there was one. In saying that, I'll admit that the bolt wasn't exactly rust free to begin with either but still, no more over tightening for me...
