It was just this side of 1k. But obviously there's a lot of extras that aren't necessary. Like the mirrored, anti fog, multi layer visor, that was $200 on its own. I got a bit carried away in the end, clicking 'add to cart' on most of the available accessories. :lol:

It's only the ML Blue. The place I ordered it from did me a package deal but they didn't have the iridium visor. And to be honest, its killing me. The fact that I forked out all that money and that I didn't get exactly what I want...first world problems. :whistling:

I went the KF3. I was very hesitant about ordering a helmet online, but after going to my local (2+ hours away) Revolution Racegear, I was able to try on the KF3 in two different sizes that they had in-store. I would recommend you do this, if possible, prior to ordering. Otherwise http://www.racedeal.com have an excellent returns policy with postage paid.

Haha. :ph34r: After going in to RRG and waving cash in their face, the deal that they were going to give me was more expensive than ordering it online elsewhere. It's not my fault they weren't competitively priced enough. And after taking to the guys at Racedeal.com at WTAC, they were very helpful and I was much happier to give them my hard earned.

I'm not a great believer of taking advantage of shopfront businesses to make online purchases.

If you are buying online you shouldn't be taking advantage of local businesses to use as a "fitting room" for your online purchase. They spent time with you, and yet you had no real intention of buying through them. They saw you as a potential customer, and treated you as such.

Imo, the savings from buying online, come with an element of risk; people want the prices, but none of the risk.

If I buy online, I do all my own research and if I get it wrong its on my own head, but if the saving is significant, it is worthwhile.

I don't believe you can have it both ways, but I guess its more of an ethical argument than anything.

I agree with you in part, but I did go in there with the intention of buying it. Thus, going in there with the cash. Hell, last time I was in there, I bought a pair of Willians harnesses. I have no qualms with RRG, they've been good in the past. However, the helmet I wanted wasn't in stock anyway, they only had flat black, w/o the hans posts. Being 2+ hours away, ment it was going to have to be ordered in and sent out anyway. I asked them if they were negotiable on price at all, and they barely budged. I said I would think about it over a coffee and it was only then that I looked up how much cheaper they were elsewhere.

Yep, fair call Tim. :thumbsup:

I'm amazed at the number of people who do it with no intention of buying.
They are also the first to complain when the local supplier isn't interested in helping when they have a warranty type issue.

Cheers, Dale

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
