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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
