Yeah ... only do 3 burnouts at the MotoGP, not 4!

:laugh:

Lol.... nice one

but am I the only dude out there who doesnt see the point of burnouts? *blinks* even a fwd can do a burnout and all yr doing is destroying a functional piece of the car that costs a decent amount of cash...

Or maybe Im just associating burnouts with commodores and hence bogans and inbreeding ;\

after pricing new tires for my car, I dont see how people can afford burnouts with big rims, or why they do them on a rough street.

the way i see it ,$ 500++ for two cheapy tires min just for them to go up in smoke and dust,,, stupid as hell.it doesnt impress me at all

not to mention the other parts it trashes.

anyone want my 18" Impul rims with bridgestone tires some tread left, 30% or so,,, Im going down to 17" for cheap tires. how do the tires companies think 1 inch taller demands 4 or more times the price for the same tires? rip off, supply and demand gone wrong

or running so much dial in on the front wheels the tires only ride on the first few Cm,,, hello its a street car

oh and scandy I know a female , who has the other 4 matching tires to that one driving around christies in a white ford. with unbelted kids in the car no less, oh and she got pulled over for no rego and let go? bragging it up how she got off ...life isnt fair..lol

Cars are a different story.

I use to throw old track day tyres from my race bike onto my TLR. These tyres had "gone off" for track use, meaning it had plenty of tread, but the compound wouldn't withstand track abuse anymore. So I had another set of these to throw on when I got home. I get double the use out of bike tyres, so I can afford to do burnouts. :ermm:

... just gotta remember to leave enough tread to get home :thumbsup:

a burnout from a commo at the lights is gay, but some big block wielding monaro throwing it around like it was a fiesta, smoke absolutely pooring off the rears is enough point for me to like burnouts lol gazznats ftw

congrats on getting threw first time, havent really heard of that much.

and to burnouts, negative on that one, i work at a tire store and i dont do burnouts or drift. grip is where its at ;)

its amazing the amount of imports i see needing new tires not because of burnouts, but because of there camber, looks fine on one side but steel belts on the other (at least it would get thew the normal cops)

was something like $137...

you sit down at a chair just infront of the car

First thing he does is check all indicators/lights, seat belts, pop the boot+bonnet etc

The guy hardly looked in the engine bay - looked completely standard for him to bother I guess.

He spent the most time under the car - hoisted the car up and went straight to the rear where the hicas is and looked around there, looked at the bushings and components around each wheel, he then jacked the front up and had a crow bar looking thing pushing the wheel up - may of been testing the shocks? or bearings?

No exhaust decibel check - was quiet enough.

Did a brake test for front and rear - sigh of relief when the word PASS went up on the screen lol

After all that he just mentioned the passenger seat was moving about a smidge - need to tighten a bolt down or something, but apart from that everythings good. He removes sticker, signed it off and away I go.

All up from arriving to the front office to exit took no more than 30 minutes.

Agree with you there, I don't see any point in burn outs either.

Waste of tires = waste of $. Also you must be on drugs if you like the smell of burnt rubber...

I probably have better fun just flushing $ down the toilet.

... car, no! Bike, yes.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
