Hey guys bit of a random question to throw up. Been looking at taking up Aggressive Inline skating again as a bit of fun to throw in with some exercise.

Just wondered if anybody on here might know of a place that sells 2nd hand aggressive skates for a decent price?

I have tried google and i get nowhere with it.

Also is there anybody on here who still skates these days???? The old inline skating doesnt seem to be happening much these days.

I've been skating for 17yrs :-) I have two sets, one set I need new bearings for. I skate around north lakes all the time. Balding is heaps of fun!!! As for buying around here I'm not sure, I got mine from manly blades and my good bearings and wheels a few yrs ago from a place on the sunny coast...

I got mine from skate biz in the city, $250.

This. Bought mine from there about 10years ago. Skates stolen, never skated again :(

lmao some how i figured this thread would go wastelandish. Ive bladed, boarded n bmx'd and honestly found blades more of a challenge and more fun. Misty flipping down a 12 stair was great fun.

But on a side note for those nsw wanderers.

Do you know whats really gay???

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
