Well, I'm due for a new helmet..

so, this is what i'm gonna do..

1:I'm goin to be really anal and take a small set of digital scales!

that will sort out the weight part of the battle for me..

2: then I'm gonna annoy the daylights out of the staff and try on EVERY helmet in the whole store!

3: I'm NOT gonna read a single price tag or brand until I have a top 3 helmets sitting on the bench that fit the best.

4: Be happy that i just bought the the best helmet i could find!

5: Take steps to look after new helmet: like buying a bag.. (coz I'm sure it will end up sending me broke!)

6: Take steps to reduce the chance of me needing that new helmet.

Did i forget anything?

Dont buy the bag for the helmet

If you are nice about it and ask for one, you'll likely pick one up (especially if youre buying an expensive helmet) for free :yes:

Otherwise sounds fairly comprehensive. I genuinely believe that the helmet that will protect you best is largely the one that fits you best... So sounds like you are well on your way to a good choice :teehee:

Gforce open face car helmet with Snell compliance, can't remember exactly what it cost ~US$150? I like it, nice helmet to put on and wear, got some vents in it which makes it fairly cool.

Would buy again. :laugh:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
