+1. not a bike person but yeah, that brutale is hardcore... why selling that one and not yr other bikes? Too expensive to run/keep on the road?

I'm just sticking to a plan. I've owned the bike 12 months and I allowed myself 12 months of ownership, then I'd sell it. Its never been a keeper, rather an Italian bike I wanted to say I owned at least once. My TL1000R v-twin sportsbike is getting some work done and will be back on the road soon. I've had the TLR for 8 years and its my fav and a keeper.

Comparing the Brutale with the TLR, is like comparing an Italian soccer player to a Grid Iron player. :woot:

Having said that, I am thinking about registering the Brutale a bit longer, as the TLR is taking some time to get the work done. Oh, and 'yes' the Brutale is far more expensive with on-road costs and servicing.

my seats and carpets need a really good clean otherwise i would do them myself.......and even tho its all getting re trimmed next month i do want the car to look somewhat decent when she goes to see Claude for a few weeks lol

no one touches the exterior of the car except me tho. ive had troubles before (autosalon 07) with the graphics...........and due to the nature and amount that is on atm, id rather make sure its done right.

ill be struggling to get this all done friday night, heres hoping it doesn't get too dirty on the way down there.

All I can suggest now damo is call this number 0448366938, his name is dave. Tell him your in the skyline club with me and he could still probably do you a deal for the day. Cant hurt to try?

Ok, i have just received my letter and entrant sticker for the big day. Didn't Cara say at vilis that she was going to have a meeting with use before the day? And as we are going in as a group display, we should all rock up at the same time...so any details at all?

As for cleaning, i have Friday off so I'm washing my car and then going to Troy's place to use his stuff :blush: , thanks Troy.

    • 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.
