The weather is turning to shit. Dirt turns to mud. Who's got a dirt bike they wanna get dirty? :blink:

I'm just curious to see who's got a pitbike/dirtbike and maybe we could put a day together to go riding on a track! Maybe end of June sometime? If I can pick the track, I'd chose Sellick's Hill. Love that track and come to grief many times. :P

Thoughts? :laugh:

Sellicks Hill is a good track too ... if it hasn't been hacked by the f**kwits with no idea that go there with shovels! Seriously, I hate the wankers who turn up with their shit chinese crap, hack up a decent jump with shovels for their own amusement, go over that jump a few times (for a whole of one half hour!), then go home when they hurt themselves or get bored or get the poser pics that want! Only to f**k up the a section of track me and my mates are tearing around for half the day on!

Got some decent jumps that'll test your manhood :P Its alot of fun too in winter when it gets greasy and you can 'drift' everywhere :banana:

Where's this track of yours kidafa?

Sellicks Hill is definately not a beginners track. Your little track there looks good for practicing a decent jump. Got a shovel? Bobcat? We could throw in a few more 'challenges'! :woot:

Track is very close to our lunch point on the cruise ruby :P

Id personally say sellicks is a beginners track...

The benched section of the track can be, but if you use the jumps that run off then back onto the track its not :happy: Then again, me and my mates run around the easier section in 3rd pinned to the stop.

For those not familiar with the track, the pic shows some of the track in the background:

Found the only vid I can find of one of the jumps:

And heres a pic of the Honda Sobe (with 140cc Lifan motor) that we broke on one of the jumps. Don't mind my mate, he's still out cold from the crash :ermm:

its amusing how a lot of you are keen as to ride at selicks and sound like youve done it hundreds of times.

i assume you all know its private land? and therfore you have all been trespassing?

the land is currently for sale, but as its hills face zone it would be hard to set up a ligit bike track as the greenies wouldnt allow it.

dam you greenies.....

piss of to tasmania, where its green all year round... lol

The track at Sellicks Hill is Crown land. Cops have been out there a few times and have no problem with us there.

Dirt bikers have been going there for many years with no problems with any authority. And 'yes' Council is tolerant of this because there is no impact on the environment or wildlife or any residents.

That land is not currently for sale and won't be in the near future. If you've seen the land you'd understand why.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
