Good to see those tweeters finally being used - and in a stunning implementation too

I was thinking of enough juice for 2 tvs, 2 fridges, couple of laptops and some lights. Not really gunning for complete power coverage. Cooking can be done on gas quite easily. Where did you get it?

I had a look at inverter generators, apparently they are much quieter than the normal kind. Seeing as the cost for a good inverter/charger/battery was just over 10k, maybe a gennie might be a better option. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm thinking of chatting to my neighbours and...

Time for another Eskom-related thread... I had over 12 hours of load shedding this weekend, and my patience has finally reached it's limit. I'm looking to get an inverter setup, similar to the one F_D mentioned here: https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,78284.0.html I only plan on...

I started with chores around the house at about 8. It was pretty small stuff at the beginning - emptying the bins. When i got older, my dad and I used to split the tasks of vacuuming and mopping the house. When the gardener didn't pitch or was on leave, we also used to split the mowing and edge...

I've seen the clutch kit going for about 4.5k, excluding labour. Probably quite labour intensive, but i doubt it will take longer than 3-4 hours

That may be it then - what was the clutch travel like? This one had barely any

Went to check out a Civic yesterday - Quite impressed by the car itself, but this particular example will probably need some work. Back disks had a massive lip, and the clutch was feeling knackered.

I have a similar model from a different manufacturer - an SMSL SA-36. It is delightful. Get a good source ahead of it, and you won't be disappointed. One thing i have noticed though is that, past halfway on the volume knob, the treble can become a bit screechy. Otherwise, no gripes at all. I'm...

The client i'm working at recently replaced all of their chairs, and they are pretty good. The label is for "M&F The Furniture Group", not sure of model. Base padding is a good 5cm thick and comfortable without being too hard or soft. The back is mesh with adjustable lumbar support. The standard...

Thanks adie - Those Accords are definitely tempting

The car is also insured with Santam - I really hope it doesn't take that long, otherwise i'm a bit up  :cr@p: creek

Nothing yet - still using the rental car provided by insurance as I haven't been paid out yet. There is a 2nd hand Civic at a dealer close to me that i'd like to check out fairly soon

It's an idle observation from perusing Autotrader and Gumtree - Toyotas seem to hold their resale value incredibly well, making them a difficult 2nd hand purchase (for me at any rate). For example - a 2002 rav4 with 200 000 + kms was going for almost R100 000, whereas a 2009 Honda Civic with 140...

Thanks everyone - I think i'll go the Honda route, just because of how Toyotas hold their resale value Cheers, Kean
