I can't lay-by a car :( Rest assured though that once my probation at work is over I'd like to get another decent vehicle. I'm currently undecided whether to get another nice car, or to just get a decent car and upgrade my bike :)

all depends on what you wanna spend and what you wanna get?

Dunno yet, don't really want to let the cat out of the bag but don't want an econo-box. As far as a bike goes, if I was going to upgrade to something a little newer than what I have, I'd probably go to a current GSXR1000. I like them, a lot.

*wipes saliva off bench* get the bike! there is nothing to think about! get the bike! GSXR1000 are a very hot bike! also, unbelievably quick. apparently they have gone down in price too lately. if you test ride the bike before the car, you wont get the car. CAR -> :( <- Bike

Heh yeah I know, I'm avoiding taking one for a test ride because I know I'll be offering body parts to buy one. It's amazing how far bike development goes in a few short years... high 9's out of the box, handling that would have put it at the front of Superbike grids not so long ago, and brakes that don't fade after repeatedly slowing from speeds on the silly side of 200km/h - all things that make a huge difference at a trackday.

The last Gixxer Thou I rode had 191rwhp according to the owner, and fark me it felt like it. It'd lift the wheel off the throttle in third at silly speeds, and the speedo climbed so fast... it was terrifying but I couldn't stop cracking the throttle :(

Then I got back on my stock Fireblade and, don't get me wrong, it's still damn quick, but it just felt very ordinary after the heavily modded Gixxer.

Bikers are tempoary citizens.
I used to work in a hospital. I wish I was paid for every time I heard that saying... but I'm still here aren't I? lol
Cars FTW. More comfortable, certainly fast enough for my needs, more useful, and where do you put your GF on the bike, eh?
She gets on the back, of course :ninja:

I'll let you know how impractical a bike is next time I pass you in a traffic jam :( If you've never ridden a bike you won't understand the appeal - it's not just about how fast they are or how far you can lean over... it's just a totally different experience. I enjoy my cars just as much as my bikes. Oh, and you can find a park just about anywhere.

Mark, why does your profile say you drive a GTS25T?
Because I do. It's not mine, but Karen lets me drive it from time to time :)
hey mike, that... thing from your avatar... I remember seeing her on the news before, but cant remember what for?

Can you provide more info?

:( my what now? which avatar? i get bored and change them often?

I like bikes but they just don't seem to pull up quick enough with me on them..... go figure?
*pictures Dave on a CBR125*

*uncontrollable rofl'ing*

Why don't you buy my car Marc?? You know it's history and I will do you a good deal??

I can't buy anything for at least another 5 months lol

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
