best time for Hills driving: anywhere between 9pm to 9am

early morning (6-9am) is generally best for high speed bike riding :bunny:

dont go around giving them ideas now.

the zx9r looks nice btw, rode one a while back and really liked it, would prefer a zx7r over it though... just felt better to ride as a sports bike. the zx9r was a bit sluggish but it did have a good 60,000kms on it.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I found my old ZX7R awkward to ride. Felt too much like an old RGV in the riding position ... be a nightmare for Tangles to ride. The ZX9R is far more 'balanced' in its handling and performance. Rode my mate's ZX9R a few weeks back when I tuned his suspension and didn't mind the 9 much. But then again, any bike with carbs will feel sluggish ... throw on a set of flat slides :bunny:

good points made too ruby!at least there veiws on publishing comments isnt 'totally' biased.but its close

Its not just taxis and commercial truck drivers ... there is no real "mould" for a hoon. Could be a 16yo in a Corolla or a 50yo in a Landcruiser!

Last night I had a 4WD cock attempt to run me into a traffic light while I had my 10yo lad with me. His attitude had obviously been fuelled by the import flaming from the media. Pulled up behind him at the South Rd/Seacombe Rd lights and he put the 4WD into reverse threatening to ram me! f**king hoon!

Had I hit the traffic light, I'm certain the media would have made the story read something like:

Nissan Import in Late Night Rampage

Last night, a high-powered turbo Nissan caused mayhem and carnage, when it lost control due to speed on South Road, Darlington. Mothers ducked for cover with their screaming children as debris from the violent collision was thrown for metres from the impact. Nearby service stations were put on emergency alert, fearing the impact would start a fire, threating the local community. The two occupants of the high-powered vehicle, a 36yo male driver and his 10yo son were lucky to survive such a horrific crash. The vehicle, a high-powered Nissan Stagea turbo, is believed to have or not have lost control when it tried to drag race a Ford 4WD on this dangerous stretch of suburban road. It is also alleged that the 36yo owner of the vehicle was drunk, and had in fact allowed his 10yo son to drive the high-powered import when the drag race occured, as the son had only smoked cannibas earlier that night.

When the Advertiser arrived on the scene, it is believed the male driver and his son may or may not have been in possession of drugs, pirate DVDs, and stolen goods. A witness to the collision who didn't want to be named said: "At least the owners are showing their support for the car crushing, by crushing their own cars!".

Police refused to comment about allegations the car had in fact been rammed off the road by a hoon in a Ford 4WD.

Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

Hmm, I have a gift ... I should write for the Advertiser!!! :bunny:

lol @ this comment

And who do you think would buy a car like that, Paddy of Melbourne 2:09pm? Even if you dismantled it, who would buy the parts? That's right; another hoon. Any hoon vehicle that hasn't been sold as new by an Australian dealer should be crushed. Hopefully, this will protect the real enthusiasts, like most WRX and Evo owners.

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
