Coffee in a can! :D

I dunno about aus, but I've never seen coffee in a can in England. Thought it was pretty weird at first, but now I think its kinda cool - I have a hot drinks machine a few metres from my house, so often it's quicker to run to the machine for a hot coffee than it is to actually make one myself! :)

Boss Coffee > *.coffee :D:) :)

Vending machines ROCK :) Great in winter too... Hold it in your hands for 10 minutes whilst waiting for the train to warm yourself up, and then drink it! :)

Also on the point of the girls in Japan,

I noticed that unlike in Aus, they all still give the best they can looks wise whether they look ordinary or hot. Unlike here... they give up once they think they dont look so good! LOL.

The Japanese superbike pecking order..

People with an interest in motorcycles hailing from the land of the rising sun may be interested in this.....

Traditionally, since the 1970's, the four Japanese motorcycle companies (but particularly suzuki, kawasaki, and honda) have competed with each other to have the biggest, fastest, most awesome flag ship model. In the early to mid 1990's, the kawasaki ZZR-1100 was the fastest, capable of exceeding 285kmh. Soon Honda brought their successor to the market, named the CBR1100XX "Blackbird". Seeing this, Suzuki cleverly named their response the GSXR1300 "Hayabusa", a bird of prey which hunts and eats other birds, in particular the Blackbird (which it presumably finds tasty).

Kawasaki finally responded with their challenger, named the ZX-12R "Ninja".

After the release of the 185HP, 200mph+ capable ZX-12R, at an international conference of dealers, and after a few beers, a japanese representative of Kawasaki heavy industries revealed why the ZX-12R was named "Ninja". In ancient times, the prospective Ninja, in a show of stealth, skill and bravado during training, would capture the elusive Hayabusa, and bake them into small pie-like pastries... :)

posted this a while back, but I think you guys might appreciate it.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
