You may end up ordering from Peter Stevens of you're buying a lot of stuff and some is on sale. My gear from there was only $100 more expensive all up than online, worth it given you can take it back there for faults and don't have to wait for shipping.

You may be right brah, did a quick add-to-cart sesh, and works out a bit more than $100. I suppose if they can give me a discount for buying everything just from them, it could be worth it.... although that's $100 extra I have for bike/insurance/what have you... However no waiting around for shipping etc would be sweet as...

WILL STRONGLY CONSIDER.

I only bought pants and a jacket that was already on sale...he knocked $100 or so off the price for me. So don't be afraid to haggle in store, especially on clearance or sale stock that they wanna move out the door. And dont tell em you're looking at all the gear straight up, just say you're interested in a jacket or helmet or something...that way he feels he's upselling you and is more likely to shave dollars off to make you buy more shit. Peter Stevens Ringwood has some good guys who will do deals on stuff for you.

And remember, the gear should be snug. Not unbearably tight, but that shit should hug you. You don't wear safety gear loose like clothes; you don't want anything to move around while riding or if you come off. The leather will stretch in time as you wear it more and then you'll get more movement out of it. Try on absolutely everything too - Alpinestars had 5 or 6 different jackets that all looked similar in design and price...but 1 really stood out for me; felt more comfortable than the rest, so I'm glad I tried them all on. It wasn't the most expensive one either!

Love the rasp that throttle bodies give high up. And they make small engines sound so beastly down low. Listen to the idle of this C20XE (2 litre N/A) at around 50 seconds...

Yeah as I expected, sounds awesome

Will be missing yum cha as I told Alvin, clutch and gearbox going back in that day as it's the only day mechanic is free

and when he is doing free labour you take what you can

He the guy with the bald/shaved head? If so, he's the one who cut my deal on the Alpinestars gear. Very good guy to deal with.

Went there today! Didn't see Pas until the very end, so didn't actually deal with him - guy named Luke helped me out. I didn't buy anything today, but he quoted me a pretty sweet price for everything with a nice ~$100 odd discount as well like you guys said ; so I think I will buy from them :)

Was going to go with 2012 helmet on clearance for $430... but then he could get 2013 new model for $450, lols... So...

:D

So excited.

I might go for a ride after gym tonight, weather is nice - jelly? :P

Yes :(

Well after gym tonight I'll go to sleep to get up nice and early so I can ride tomorrow, at least! :D

EDIT: Jacket size was a bit annoying though. Deciding between 50 & 52...

What's your height and weight?

Better be snug. If I can fit my hand between you and your jacket...well then I'm gonna fit my hand between you and your jacket.

checking out a mates KTM 990SM today, they any good?

they're not bad from what I know (never actually ridden one), I like the ktm 990 dukes a bit more though pretty sure they're the same engine which is good

I feel violated already, Birds.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
