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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
