Hey,

So I am heading up to DECA and have been lucky enough to pick up a spot as a nav / awe inspired passenger >_<

I am now aware that a helmet is a requirement for being a passenger. A helmet is currently something I dont own. :laugh:

is there anybody heading up to DECA that has a spare Helmet I could use? I have decent sized head so a small probs would fit.

anyways thanks

strongly disagree. don't buy a cheap helmet. they are cheap for a reason cuz they are shit.

if you cant afford anything expensive buy an open faced racing helmet. if you can afford it a bit more, buy a half decent full faced helmet.

when i actually take my car to the track, ill have to get a better helmet. its FAR too hot in summer, the padding is uncomfortable and itchy.

so spend the extra $50-$200, its worth it and i have only being passenger so far. i would hate for a helmet to ruin my track days.

open faced helmets are great until your face meets the steering wheel :)

All helmets must meet a minimum standard. TBH, most helmets will all work the same. The big difference will be in the weight, quality of liner, looks and vent design which, in reality, won't make any noticeable difference in your situation. If you were doing 50 laps of a track at full noise, or riding a motorbike it would, but a DECA day or typical track day, it won't matter.

Grab a cheapo from your local bike store. It'll do everything you need and then some.

Normally they dont provide (last one I went to you couldn't). I've got several spare helmets as I do a lot of motorcross and endurance riding. I could lend you one if you like.

Thanks mate that would be great if you bring a spare up so that way I dont need to worry if Vpect is driving or not.

Im looking online now and it seems that Bell is selling the K1 sport for USD$400.00

http://www.bellracing.com/public/index/product/detail/234/

Im sure a better deal can be found if I do some hunting.

The site says that the helmet is SA2010 standards. does this make it SA2005 too.

That helmet seems mid range and is around the max amount I would want to pay for a helmet for the moment.

Go to a bike shop and grab a KBC for $150.

Or something like their open face helmet.

Your face won't hit the steering wheel, and if it does, having an open face is the least of your problems. If it does, it's likely the steering wheel has come back to give you a love tap and you've been cut in half at the hips by the firewall anyway.

lol you dont need the stigs helmet man just get a cheapie you'll be fine.

oh and just dont crash open face/closed face wont matter.

the cool kids wear these

Hahah

But if your going to invest in a Helmet surely looking like the stig is the bestway to go. I wont buy one untill I know I want to get into motorsport.

maybe I should head down to phillip island one day and get some lessons.

for that to happen though, the seat belt mounts or seat mounts would need to break.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
