HOLY COW

i have seen that in your sig a thousand times and only ever chuckled at it cos it says "GONG" in it and "GONG" is a funny word

hmm...

honestly this looks really cool

i would give it a red hot go except i'm in perth

that's like

the equivalent of perth to bunbury though

that'd be rad if it were safe n stuff like - not gonna get hit by cars / kangaroos / drop bears etc

i think someone wants to put his money where his mouth is

shit marc if you are keen i'll even kick in for your flight

imagine that

a sign in your shop saying you did sydney to gong

would be sick

so anyway

the tyres on my giant rincon are a bit rough as guts - too wide and too "nobbly"

which is really annoying considering i ride on pavement only at the moment

they just fight me the entire way while i ride

WURRuuuUURRrruuuURRRRuuuRRRR they say

so yeah

getting some decent skinny low profile road slicks today

throw some deez on that bitch

what sort of tyres you getting? i run 26 x 1.5 michelin which go for about $45 upwards, otherwise the ones i sold jase, and which cherie uses as well, are tioga city slickers in a 26 x 1.0. they are the same width as a road bike tyre and they are about $30 each. both of those tyres require new tubes which are about $6 each.

NOTE: these prices are RRP and not the price i do for SAU members

    • 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
