Did you unload the bike without any probs?

Def some awesome street machines there. Bruno cleaned up with his 55 Chev ... 8 awards and the top honour itself!!!!!

yeah mate it went very smooth, unlike the loading on where I chipped the bottom of the front fender again, lol

wow, that is one awsome chopper.

if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to get all the custom parts for it.

PM me if u dont want it public.

But wow that thing is sexual.

thanks bud..........all I'll say is, the back wheel is worth more than 1/2 the cars on this forum

I wasn't going to mention that ... but seeing as you did ... time to trim a bit more off then? :laugh:

My camera is a bit funny with shiny toys and lighting sometimes. Doesn't focus properly ... but it is an Olympus :P

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

No money won but apart from the trophy, I managed to score a complimentary bag full of Meguiars product.

As far as power is concerned Damo, approx 100hp according to manufacturer's specs but it's more of a torque monster and as Dan said, it'll tow a road train.

I'll try & load up some pics now.

I should have entered the Brutale eh Pete? :laugh: Only one european bike entrant in the (other) bike show. Might even think about entering the TLR into it again with its new Rizla looks ... after some of the guys were asking why it hasnt been in the show for the last 2 years :P

Shoulda stuck around for the awards.

Cara took out best graphics!

And the man Pete took out Best chopper ...

yeah congrats thats a sweet bike sled :( you deffinatley deserved to win.

ps did you take her home with the bike? :) if so thats 2 sweet rides you've got now :D

i thought it was pretty crap this year, didnt appeal to me this year.

but the funniest thing was they where all talking up the vx clubby saying it should be around 300rwkw's and when they put it on the dyno it struggled to make 212rwkw's which was its top read out, but before they had that on they had the D&T old datto ute on there and that made 198rwkw and that was only a 4 banger, everyone was laughing at the clubby when it got that read out haha!

ok your wrong i was working on the tyrepower stand where the vx clubby came from the owner of the car wasn't there so troy the manager of the stand took the car to the dyno told the announer that it should make 200kws not 300

seams to me 212kws is more then that also it made 220kws later in the day, should have made more but the limter was set to 5500 somehow and it was running like poo

also the d&t datto ute is a mitsubishi and its a gen 3 v8 not a 4 banger

please get your facts right next time

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
