What you mean pay so much it's the cheapest I could find lol

And yes it's not a keeper so why pay 5-6k for a new one to learn on...

Fair enough I'd just rather pay the extra to get something newer/leas kms/more reliable. Shouldn't lose too much on resale in 12 months

Both cost me ~$800/year full comp. Just pick a bike you like and do an online quote with a bike insurance company, that will give you the best idea. There are too many variables involved.

Ah ok, thanks for that.

400 is the new 300

would love to see "the new 300" doing work at places like the GOR.

320 was hardly useable in 1st and 2nd on the street (265/35/18). 400 is starting to tread into dyno queen territory lol

Alot of united places now sell 100ron.

Can't say you will notice a difference unless you car is tuned for it?

You might get lower knock levels perhaps?

You'll notice, i can tell you that for certain... No tune changes.

It's 100RON but also 10% ethanol.

Must be shit tyres.

I have perfect traction with 350 all day, everyday.

40kw is too much to have fun at the GOR let alone 400.

i have good traction with 300rwkw in RWD when i run the correct tyres

I'm aiming for responsive 300...

Don't know if possible.

best you'll get is an hks 2835 pro s pushing max 290rwkw with response....

more likely 280 unless you wanna run 20psi all day tho.

fwiw i run mine at somewhere between 250 and 280 depending on ebc settings on the day.

Must be shit tyres.

this

It being United Petrol... How's the quality / refinement of the fuel?

Sure it's 100 RON but quality and refinement is what I question...

Or does all fuel come from the same refinery, other petrol companies just add their own additives..?

Anyone that's log booked kms for tax, do u need to include non business kms or only business related?

Ash where's my DVD?

Just busines Dezz u can't claim non business however you can work it in your favor ;)

Racking up quite the tab there dezz.

Most people record both business & private trips in their log book.

It's from this you work out your business usage percentage.

Otherwise shortcut is to just record business travels. Total that up over the total KM's over the period and you get your %.

you'll get it next week.

It's free

stfu.

mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm bitch!

yeah cbf with logging the personal trips but thought it had to be done...PM me with this info you allude to.

Question was not directed at you so jam your bill. I'll go with the last bit of your post from now on though

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
