I'm like nik, my car speak us fairly poor haha. They just put it up and did it. See attached sheet of allignment, maybe you can make sense of it and tell me if its alright?

All they did was front and rear toe in.
It would have taken them about 45mins to do?

Seems odd that before the alignment that both the front and rear had more than 7mm of toe in.
This is fuckloads of toe. To the point where it would be wearing the outside edges of the fronts and putting a funny wear pattern on all tyres.

If you drive in a 'sporty way' I would like to have seen a bit of neg camber on the front. Maybe -0.5deg instead of the slightly positive its running now.

[skillionaire]

it's more the fact they did it, knew they had and didn't say anything till I confronted them about it

110% agree mate. Stress level shoots up because someone can't own up. I get that nearly every single day.

@Brett: 'Someone' changed the crack size, basically nothing was cracked, hit 1028. I was only calling you to see if it was even worth bothering with the yeast. It's boring ale.

Hate to talk shop, but that was the call I was making.

If you drive in a 'sporty way'

Ever the diplomat.

"Someone"? Did you not check your grist before mashing in. Tut tut.

Chuck yeast at it and call it an alcohol reduced beer. Boring Lite?

It hasn't had an allignment in prob 8 months so I'm sort of not surprised it was so whacked. The coilovers I have in have camber adjust so I might dial in some negative. I could be talking completely wrong stuff there though.

Yeah it drives me insane nik. It's not hard, to just tell the customer.

(New guy - not me)

Yeah, I pitched it, just for the simple fact that it would be a complete waste otherwise.

How was the sparge? Did you taste the spent grain after runoff?

If you dial in negative it will change the toe settings quite a bit and you will not know how much neg you are giving it. About neg 1deg is good. (I set mine to neg 1.5)

Normal driving will not cause such a drastic amount of toe to be recorded. Someone has done some suspension work, the car hit the gutter front and rear (this would show poor reading on one side only) or the machine is way out.

Sorry to talk car stuff in the beer thread.

Was oneills at Warners bay mark.

I might take it elsewhere and get them to double check it and re do it and dial in some neg camber while its being done. Spending more money but at least I will know for sure then

[Cam.]

Bring it to me Mark. I'll dial in 1 degree in the front.

O'neills are *****.

Take it to Ansens at Gateshead in future and tell them i sent you

[Scuba-Roo]

Pretty sure mum went there last week, and she was happy with them.

Very sweet, very clear. Definitely nothing offensive. Just so many whole grains.

Haha, touche!

Just saw a '86 with a wing from a new sti sedan (the weird shaped wibbly one).

Looked 'ing odd.

Bought a new chamois. If only I could get motivated to wash the car today.

Also has anyone used Repco Eclipse wash and wax before? It looks like a good deal for under $10 for a litre. Plus it also contains carnauba wax.

Colour? I think there are two on here at the moment, both white!?

Haha sorry, yeah was a white one


Changed clutch fluid today. It was pretty much black lol changed power steering fluid to a full synthetic one in hope that this fluid wouldn't airrate itself once hot. Then just went and bought a power steering cooler kit thingo. Will post pictures after I get back from the city with the missus

It's a good book, I love cook books that only have small amounts of ingredients to each dish. I received "Two Greedy Italians" for Christmas from my sister.

Also copped this; which I love; but my lord it's a complete headfuck reading the ingredients/processes!!!

My culinary aim this year is to make croissants from scratch, bake a layered cake, and start to jar up some home made sauces.

No point in setting a goal I can't actually achieve.

Sweet, bro! I'd like to jar some shit!


And cwassonts! Lemme know how you go!

Only thing I have read about wash and wax is that the wax builds up over time and eventually gives a cloudy faded look. Your better to use just a normal car wash soap (I use that truck wash stuff. CR-18 or something) and then clay bar, polish, wax after wards
