You can borrow mine if you wish, don't think I can afford to take the R33 out this time ...unless I can jump out there later in the day.

$99 for a helmet and $30 for an extinguisher... Why do you need to borrow?

[jrm]

If anybody needs swaybars for track day look here, I'm getting mine here from Dale

I just got mine for around the same money locally for CarTorque here in Adelaide. I also didn't have to worry about shipping costs that the group buy would have too .. Try dropping them an email?

[On Edge]

Thanks for that I will

Where on earth did you get a helmet for $99??

[Jap_star]

Another great place for helmets is Peter Stevens on franklkn st. They have a normal store and a clearance store opposite. With Aus standard approved helmets from $60

All you NEED is an Australian Standards helmet. Which is a motorbike helmet, and you can go to any bike shop.

Autosport are doing open face helmets for $99, and that will be fine for most people.

You spend the extra money on an FIA approved helmet and itll be lighter, and probably more comfortable, but if youre only doing a couple of track days a year an AS helmet will be fine.

I bought mine from ebay for $50 delivered, Aust standards one and it works fine for me

sorry to those that have already bought a full face but keep in mind, there's nothing worse than a full face in a hot car and secondly, peripheral vision is considerably better with an open face.

You can get a good Aussie STD matt black open face at either Peter Stevens, Hyperformance Cycles or Pro Street Cycles for between $50 & $60.

[J - Rad]

But on the flip side, if you crash do you really want to eat dash?

[Jap_star]

Can't imagine it would taste nice. Would always go full face. Lift the visor up, window down.unless its 40+ degrees I doubt you'd notice a difference

[Damo_R34]

I have helmets for my dirtbike anyway, i dont mind full face too much, if it gets a bit warm just get a window down!

[SLED]

airbags.

LOL, I'd love to see you guys on Harleys with your multi-coloured full faces

you're inside a car!!!!..........soft

PS: If I ate Dash, it'd probably improve my looks

[bigkevracer]

Extreme example, but one I always remember... what happens when you wear an open face helmet...

Colin McRae will discover today if he can resume his World Rally Championship quest following his horrific accident on the Tour of Corsica.

The 32-year-old Scot will have a check-up at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Hospital following a three-hour operation to have a plate inserted in his fractured cheekbone.

McRae suffered a double fracture of the cheekbone and a bruised lung after crashing out at about 80mph on the second day of the rally in Corsica last month.

The car finally came to rest upside down at the bottom of a six-metre embankment after hitting a tree. McRae's Welsh co-driver Nicky Grist walked away unhurt.

Bar my first rally, when I had to borrow a helmet, I've always worn full face, and never had an issue with it being too hot.

you're inside a car!!!!..........soft

Yet we're not complaining about being too hot... now who's soft?
