There's nothing I like more than rummaging through somebody elses filthy rubbish.

I also ride 50km a day and I don't want to be one of those pretentious douches riding around on the road in their $10,000 carbon fibre bikes (clearly I'm jealous because I'm poor) when all you need is a frame with wheels. I plan to buy a piece of rickety old crap to sandblast and paint, then run it as a fixed speed because I never use any of the other damn gears anyway.

To date I've been riding my brother's mountain bike because he's out of town, but he's coming back soon so I'll have to give back. It's probably for the best because it's a size too small for me.

Tamala Park and Balcatta have really gone downhill over the last couple of years, so I'm curious as to where everybody else goes to get their fix? ;)

I still have my $70 bike that my parents bought me from some Chinese guy (that he shipped a bunch of those cheapo bikes from China) way back in 1996. ;)

Although I don't think I have ever ridden it since I got my car...

Dude - you would be much better off asking everyone to let you know when their local area is having a bulk rubbish collection. I am currently in the middle of an old dragster frame rebuild and about 75% of my parts are all from council roadside collections.

PS Anyone know any good sandblast/powdercoat places?

When i was a kid i went to the local tip at peakhurst and built a bike with the help of my cousins, all we took was a pump a small shifter and a puncture repair kit.

AAAHHHH REMINISING

+1 for bulk rubbish.

just went to rotto and hit up the bulk rubbish for transport over there.. plenty of gems just laying there waiting for u. :)

Bulk rubbish is good, but you can't afford a $200-300 bike? It's what i use to get to work and back. If not, there's always rollerskates? lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
