You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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?

Give me a week or two to get acquainted with my ride and we'll go for a ride. Charlie needs to get another road bike and she can join us...

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.

Still haven't read the thread, cause I can't be bothered reading anything to do with "stance", but are they complaining about the new people who will see their trend and then copy it off them? Doesn't this happen just by driving on the roads to show off their "stance"? Morons.

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

its not a 'powerful' car, but its enough for her..

drives really well and revs out to 8500 factory...

interior is awesome, with the recaro buckets as well..

she loves it

inb4 Mohsen tries to get a work exemption for an R1, then sells it to buy a spate of shitty bikes and is convinced they're broken all the time, all the while spending good money on pointless mods and acting paranoid about the police defecting his standard 250cc learner bike

lmfao ric.

not helping charlie!

Srsly dude, the license test isn't hard... if anything the longer you leave it the more bothersome and costly the process will become, recently there have been articles on how the tests aren't strict enough etc. Plus it's not as if you need to buy a bike straight away. Just get your license to begin with!

Two things that usually kill people on bikes, being their own stupidity/inexperience or other drivers on the road. The latter can't always be avoided but there are certain ways to ride in traffic that improve your chances of surviving :thumbsup:

Don't get me started on speedboats Rimon, lol, father always had them when I was a kid so that could easily come back into my life and I don't need any more expenses. Jet skis are pretty f**king awesome though...anything can tow them, buy a POS Commy or R31 for a grand.

Korean bike, not the best quality but have come a long way and look awesome, especially for the dollars. Would be perfectly suitable for a bike on your restrictions, probably what I would get if I did it again. Don't sound half bad either.

-_- 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.

oic. I am much confuse.

Women speak in riddles at the best of times ^^^ much better explaination

:D

Seriously though if the tyres can't be changed without scratching rims... Or a properly prepped/painted setup that will last against track work... Surely possible?

Can be done with car rims. Can't see it being much different

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
