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

fkn lol, but fyp brah

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:

Hella flush bike.

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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
