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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
