if you buy that for me Pete, i will keep it in my garage for you?

Ha, ha, yerrrrright.......I'll buy it and rent it to you over a fixed term agreement with a residual (baloon) payment at the end.......and I get to drive it whenever I want to :O

I just got an email at work. Its the "dont buy petrol from bp and shell to trigger a price war" but in powerpoint format!

yeah, it has to be an Exon Mobil exec or similar doing the rounds with that thing.......only takes a few suckers to pass the email onto to their entire address book and its enough to go around the world twice.

I'm getting itchy feet again so I'm thinking of maybe building another bike. Something a little simpler without any bling ie, something fat with the brushed aluminium look, matt black paint and maybe a suicide shift and old skool kick start.

Here's a couple samples of possible options: (probably not everyones cup of tea, but in person they look very tuff)

actually, the top one would look even better, with a single sided swing arm! rather than the whole 1 peice frame, and the tank extended to sill the gap to the seat.,

on a bling bike I would agree with single swing, stretched tanks & frame but I'm going for a different look here.....almost 'Bobber' style rather than 'Pro Street'

Well I was always quite partial to trailbikes as a kid, was more wondering what a harley/offroad bike would look like. Similar tyres, hardcore suspension, and some more ground clearance. I'm not saying change the ride posture or make it for jumping busses, but for a general, tough as nuts off road bike. Perhaps its a stupid idea but that bike up there reminds me of steve mcqueen going across a paddock and jumping a fence (with smaller wheels heh). Basically Mad Max on a hardcore Harley...

$0.02c

Got pulled over today on Sheppards Hill Rd Blackwood by undercovers........... The guy said i sped out of a side street onto Shepps doing 61 in the 50 zone outta Blackwood, then he prcceds to tell me my car looks too low(which it is) but then says "we cant actually defect you, but a traffic cop would" i said "yeh no worries" they looked thru the car, asked if it was modded, i said "nah mate, stock as a rock, do you want me to pop the bonnet for ya" and he said "nah all good mate, have a nice day"

WTF, since when CANT a D defect you?, and why is it that i was doing "61" in a 50 zone and he didnt give me a ticket??

Nice cops tho, was from the UK, maybe it was cos im such a nice guy............

its the ex mate..CHANGE YOUR NUMBER!!!! ha ha

Its her friend actually. probably not smart messaging, coz now i have their number. I do recognise it, but i deleted all of her friends numbers a while ago! dammit.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
