Ahhh...mine almost lapsed but I think I extended it by paying monies. I assume you'll have to sit the test again? I wonder if they would make you wait the 3 months before you can get fulls or allow you to do it straight away? Was on Ls for a few years before I bothered to get full licence.

Pretty sure I have to sit the Ls test again - but will check with vicroads.

I found out 12 months and 2 weeks after my Ls lapsed that you have 12 months to renew them...

Ye gold on black R1 - best colour IMO

Get the rims re-done with a gold lip - it'll look even more awesome :)

^^This bike (which is the same as the one in my avatar and funnily enough owned by the original modifier or Aarons S14) as you can see has the rims half polished, red rim tape on the seam and white around the rim. Very effective, matches the bike colour scheme perfectly and was cheaper than getting them fully polished.

For the R1 I wouldn't bother with the whole lip but rim tape would have the same effect for a small cost.

Nothing better than a personalised colour scheme that's still in the original colours.

Nooooo :D

I meant actually getting it painted (or power coated etc) with a gold lip.

Polished on black mehbee not look as good?

Especially with the gold on the forks, sticker etc. Polished might be too outta place

If i see the bike out front of work next week i'll snap a pic of the rims to example

read the stanceworks thread..... fkn hillarious.

idiots that have jumped on a trend because of sites hellaflush somehow think that other people doing exactly the same thing because of a magazine is wrong?

it's exactly the fkn same!

not to mention... it's not like those dude modify their cars properly anyway.... a defect for them is as simple as swapping rims and raising the thing... no epa, no vass etc

i don't think a magazine will change much at all

i bought autosalon magazine back in the day, it didn't make me want to put leather interior and eleventy billion TV screens in my car lol

the only problem with defects is if your low for long enough it becomes hard to get a RWC, i don't think i'll have much luck getting one with my chassis rails

All that happened was a few Americans ripped off the Jap VIP from the '80s, Westernised it, profited massively.

And now the "trend kiddies" or "band wagoners" have their knickers in a knot over someone else profiting...

Absolutely hilarious.

missus learnt how to drive manual today in her brand new RX8 GT she got yesterday.

VERY comfy car to drive

Nice, how does the RX-8 drive?

Always liked the interior, from what I remember from sitting in one at the Melbourne Motor show many moons ago :D

-_- That's why I was referring to the Suzuki and not the R1 with that particular change, I agree that chrome would not match the R1, which is why I said rim tape.

You wouldn't bother colouring the rim on something that's not a show bike because in all likeliness your rims are going to be scratched up by the mechanic at the shop next time the tyres are changed. This obviously doesn't matter with polished rims because there's nothing to scratch off but painting something is just going to mean you either need to not ride the thing, change the tyres yourself or be prepared for a redo every time you change the rubber.

That dirt bikes similar to what im looking for.. still not sure if i want the full motox version or trail spec yet

When we going on SAU vic road bike ride?

Well, trail you can do both, MotoX you obviously can't take out in the bush. In the end it's how you ride it that will make the difference on the track but I found the one time I went out to Neerim South for a day with my mates was far more awesome than doing circles in a race track, although that would have been fun too. I think it taught me more as well. Any dirt riding definitely compliments the road riding, although you do get a few more scratches/bruises/concussions :teehee:

Ride soon!!! When I sell my ute I'll be getting another road bike for commuting so there should be a few of us to catch up :yes:

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
