Yeah was thinking about fuel efficiency difference as well, if I got an r1 would have to have exhaust already done bugger forking out heaps for an exhaust

Yer get one already zorsted, decent slip ons for R1 start at ~800 new.

hmm worth a try one of these days.

then again, looking at the menu, i'm suddenly not interested anymore. LOL.

Cause it doesn't have dog on it?

And for hot food, you could try ash's recommendation, in fact, i will eventually go there to check it out, but i'm in no hurry.

Their Sushi/Sashimi IMO is some of the best I've ever had in Melb. I usually go there for the cold dishes, not the hot ones.

Tookaiya special gets ordered every single time. Sakura Salmon rolls as well... Mint.

(I eat out a LOT :))

Also you can try Izakaya Den in Melb CBD for some more upbeat/contemporary style Jap - some great Imported beers to choose from in there as well. Must book though, the place is ALWAYS crazy busy even on a Wed night

Whoaa. Really? I've gone past that place by bus for 6 years going to school, always thought it was some average place like all the other asian restaurants on kroad.

Nope definitely not average. The owners (husband/wife) split semi recently and the wife still runs it. They also had another place in Moonee Ponds somewhere under a different name and was smaller, i believe he runs that :)

Rode in my mates 360kw xr6 and then I jumped into a mate's 200kw EVO 8.

Xr6 was crazy quick, its a three speed trimatic and pretty much fried tyres in every gear. Quick but felt sluggish. EVO felt faster lol, is it the weight and torque?

EVO's have a very short 1st through 3rd, so their acceleration is lightning quick, hence they are so fast for a streeter really

yup. no dog. i'd like some dog tataki

but since it comes so highly recommended. might pay them a visit soon, maybe tmr? LOL

i tried rabbit once, had some funky textured skin, was done in a stew. would never order that again,

snakes, and crocs and frogs are great though, neutral flavour. but pythons can be a little stringy,

monitor lizard is alright too, had some soup made from that.

wild duck's alright. not stinky like roo or lamb.

so if i were to try dog/cat, it'd only be to find out how it tastes, that's all. not a huge gastronome when it comes to obscure exotic meats.

Tookaiya - Keilor Rd. Been going there regularly for 7-8 years.

I've been to places like Nobu, Koko etc etc... And they are really good as well... However for the price, you will not find better that Tookaiya as it's not a fancy joint, just good quality traditional style. Massive thumbs up.

Not too far either, will have to give it a go. I'm more interested in what I'm assuming are the more boring dishes, chicken and rice based dishes...He's been there 2 days and already had chicken gut skewers (whatever the f**k they are) and some other strange shit...

And I eat rabbit all the time, doesn't taste gamey at all imo

    • 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.
