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?

*uncontrollable rofl'ing*

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
