Parent's have been bugging me for idea's on things to get me for christmas and after a bit of thnking i thought a helmet would be a good idea as i need one if i wanna do the track day in January. Now it has to be ADR approved and reasonably cheap, i also want one thats open faced (better for vision in my opinion) now the only place i can think of off the top of my head is autosport on magill rd. Is there anywhere else thats possibly better priced?

Cheers in advance!

I bought mine at Gepps Cross Kart Mania - about $100. It is full face though - not sure if they have part face or not.

You might want to check, but I thought for Lala you have to have full face - it is a fire safe thing.

Any good motorcycle place will sell them. Make sure you try lots of different ones as different brands will fit you differently (thats a lot of different's) i find that Shoei's have always fitted my head the best so thats all I buy.

Also how much is your head worth? I personally would never get a cheaper brand even if they do meet ADR's but i ride motorbikes so i'm sure a helmet just for track days in a car a 100 dollar jobby would be fine.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
