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.

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.

This isnt helping our cause at all - atleast it wasnt a Skyline...

I'm not going to read through the comments because it will make me angry lol

Silly media, cant even state what is the car is correctly.

There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
