You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Its just as easy as the Ls

Unless you get some retard lightbox operator who waits until you're way over the line before choosing which direction he wants you to take, making the counter steer nearly impossible. Almost failed because of that fuckhead.

I meant bit early booking for a test over 2 months away..

Birds - whats the longest trip you've done on your bike? is a 2 hour trip even possible on a super sport riding position?

Yeah it's plenty possible, it does depend on the specific bike and your own physical strength, though. Some supersport bikes are more comfortable than others for extended ride times, e.g. GSX-R1000 vs Ducati. The most common complaint for riders seems to be lower back or wrist and shoulder pain. I never get lower back or shoulder pain, but both of these are strong points from my exercising, which you probably also have, whilst a lot of riders who don't exercise, won't. I do get sore and numb wrists/hands after extended periods, but this has improved heaps the more I ride and it goes away the moment you stand up / hop off the bike.

When I head up to the mountains its usually an hour of constant riding which doesn't leave any lasting fatigue. The longest trip I've done was about 3 hours of riding with some breaks. I was pretty wrecked after that...but it was when I first got the bike, so I may have just been getting used to the riding position. There are core strengths for riding that you can't develop any other way than to just ride and get used to it.

tl;dr you'll be enjoying the bike too much to care about the pain!

Cancer hasn't done anything for me lately, I'll be damned if I'm going to give money to it.

I'm a pretty regular donator of funds to charities, particular cancer research...so it's not that I'm being a tight ass...I just believe in reasonable limits for donations etc. If I can find space in my budget I might make a donayshun.

Ye thats fair enough.

But i bet the vast majority of others here - do not :)

So pony up $20 each you guys. If in 10 years you have issues with cancer, you'd wish everyone else would've chucked in some cash sooner for a possible cure/better chance @ life etc.

I get pretty tired after a hour, never really been on long trips with the bike that being said I'm sure you could do a decent trip with a few small breaks

My mate was telling me something about gixxers vs the R6/R1 in regards to riding position...something about the gixxers being better?-

Gixxers are reputedly the most comfortable supersports. Have heard R1 are the most comfortable/accommodating for tall guys.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
