  1. You want more info on the motard 500 or the dirt one?

    Very interested in the motard. What are your plans for it? Will it be a race bike or street bike? Are you keeping the original front end? You need to do a build thread on that thing.

    Most people avoid 2 strokes these days, its good to see someone keeping them going. I'm hoping direct injection 2 strokes bikes will come out over the next few years. A 500cc 2 stoke road bike would be great...

  2. If not ill look at any "Kujira" Toyota Crown! Around "74" model.

    In shit condition if possible!

    Thanks!

    Bad timing. I sold a 240k coupe just recently. I know of a 240K couple shell in Victoria if you're interested...

    I also have a 1970 Toyota Crown station wagon, located in Victoria if you're interested:

  3. You've got some f**king dangerous bikes there! 3 wheelers are a good way to die :(

    Like the RG500. Did you import it from Japan or buy it here? I was the test rider dummy for an RG500 that we got from Japan a few years back... Didn't die, so it was all good.

    More info/pics on the CR500 please :( Also, MC28 fairings on an RGV? Looks like they fit pretty well.

    At the moment I only have a 1981 XR200. Previous bikes were a CR80, YZ100, KX125, CBX250, 2XCBR250s, another CR80, TS250X and a VFR400.

  4. +1 for more pics. Take them outside and from different angles, showing as much of the car as possible. Don't take them on retarded "artistic" angles...

    Personally I would say $8000 to $9000 would be fair, although I've never seen the car in person. It really depends on how long you're willing to wait and whether theres a buyer near you who wants an R33.

    The more places you advertise, the better your chances of selling. As I've said, try carsales.com, ebay, firesport.com etc. Don't bother with drive.com ;)

    Another +1 for detailing the car like a dealer, they can make a very average car look great. Tyre shine for the tyres, clean the rims with a strong cleaner, amoral all interior parts. A good trick to make the car look good is silicone spray. Air box, hoses, top of radiator, spark plug valley cover, fuse box etc in the engine bay, then the plastic tray underneath the windscreen wipers, plastic strips around all windows and so on. Spend a few hours cleaning it and you'll be surprised how good they can come up.

  5. I don't think you've got a series 1.5. No airbag and rear wing is not a 1.5.

    Pressure wash the engine bay and maybe have the interior detailed. You might also want to change the parts that show wear. The steering wheel looks very warn...

    Try posting it on ebay and car sales. You get very little interest in the boost cruising and SAU forums, just low ballers offering you $5000.

  6. A dealer will give you very little as a trade in.

    Need pictures and specs to comment further...

    Edit:

    Are you still asking $14,000? Its a nice car, but at most you'll get $11,000. Good condition series 2 examples can be had for $10-12,000.

    You might want to pull all of the aftermarket parts out and sell them separately.

  7. I'm surprised about them taking photographs of engine bays unless it's for evidence of offence which EPA is not.

    I just worked traffic car shift tonight and very surprised at how well everyone was behaving. Only gave out 10 fines with the worst offender an unlicensed driver doing 40+km/h over speed limit but she was running late to her shift at the Brothel.

    Did she offer a free "full service" to get out of the fine? :devil:

  8. I've cleaned plenty of R33 & R34 engine bays while working at a RAW. We used a product called Reb Baron degreaser. Sprayed the entire bay, left it for 5 minutes and then used a high pressure sprayer to remove it. I did the entire bay without covering anything and never had a problem.

    I also did this to my personal R33 once every few months and never had a problem in 5 years. After it dries I used either Amoral or silicon spray on any of the plastic parts, always came up looking great.

  9. Hence my call for an IQ test to determine voting eligibility...can't have that in democracy though :D

    We can restrict people from voting until they are 18, this is based on maturity...why we can't do the same with intelligence is beyond me. Some people never reach mental age of 18.

    A common sense test would be better >_<

  10. Hey Baron, what are the prices like on 1980's 4x4s in Japan (40 series Landcruisers or similar)? From what I've seen in the past they sell for very high prices if they're in decent condition. I'm only basing that on goo-net and other such websites prices, not auction prices.

  11. im not sure that the de sal plant is a waste of money.. some aspects of it seem exorbitant but overall given the 13 year drought it has merit.

    True, its not a complete waste of money, but there are aspects to it that are a waste. Paying workers extremely high wages just to ensure the union does not strike and allows it to be built, not building another dam (one in Gippsland where it keeps flooding would have had a duel benefit) and the billing of people even if the dams are full and the plant isn't required seems a little harsh. I'm also sure that the price will blow out to something close to twice the price we've been quoted, as has happened on countless other government projects.

    It will be nice to have it there when we need it, so I'm not opposed to it being built.

  12. and %75 by the poll conducted by Sydney Morning Herald.

    This state has gone to the dogs since Jeff Kennet was voted out in regards to with the new laws, rules and regulations impemented on a yearly basis one replacing the other taking all the enjoyment out of lives. I remember well when Jeff Kennet was voted out, one of the things he said was that Victoria will never be the same again, funnly enough it came true.

    I agree with you on this one. Kennet was good for Victoria, Labor seem to have a way of pissing away money on pointless projects (Myki, desal plant, fast rail project, Sugarloaf pipe and so on), I hope the Liberals win the next election, cut the over spending and hopefully stop the "nanny state" policies from being enacted.

    We can only hope that whoever wins the next election does so by such a narrow margin that they can be voted out easily should their policies displease a decent amount of people. That would hopefully lessen the chance of bullshit laws being passed...

  13. seriously? if you had monkeys, what would you do? teach them to fence?

    I think they'd struggle with the post hole digger :cool:

    I would like to see a video of this. He tied their hands up and made them bow to apologise... lets hope they give him a serious beating next time, tie his hands up and make him apologise.
