It was one of the first films I had on DVD.

Will there be cake?
Metallica cunning stunts on ps2. Couldn't believe the quality through a Scart connector and 68cm t.v. With analouge Yamaha amp.
You need the rainbow licka sticka first.
If it doesn't stick the first time you just need to lick the back of it over and over until your jaw locks up. Then boom fully sticky fully qualified. Might take 4yrs.

you'll need to speak slowly for me

ohai

what do you know about getting custom spokes done? Got a woof in the front rim, was going to motard it anyway, so was thinking of slotting a 17" hoop on the front. Problem is, I need to keep the speedo drive in the front hub, so swapping a YZ rim is not an option

So you have a 19” rim and wanna fit a 17” rim with spokes to suit?

Nah, 21" front hoop to a 17" hoop

Brake clearance etc is already checked, and rim sourcing is easy, just hit a wall when trying to find spokes. I am thinking they will have to be made? Or do you know if mine can be shortened and rethreaded?

Why wouldn’t 17” standard spokes fit?

Because angle out of hub is too far in compared to standard?

If u can find someone who already does the wheels or a model of bike that already has motard wheels the u could buy the spokes from a dealer

standard 17" hub has no speedo drive, so its about half the diameter and about 2/3 the width.

We think very similar

Unfortunately, 17" rims on XT's are usually acheived with an entire YZ460  front end swap as you get upside down forks of the correct length, a triple tree that bolts straight on (and has steering damper options up the wahzoo) and a 17" rim

What you dont get, is a speedo drive. This is usually sorted with a $500 electronic dash, but its actually a stickerable offense to do this, and I dont have the coin for the dash or a crumpled YZ anyway.

Plus, speccy upside down forks and a front disc setup designed for dirt, isnt really going to match the rat rod/street scrambler vibe I am going for

Im a motorcycle technician by trade. If u dont need the bike ur best bet would be to buy a 17" wheel then find a wherl builder to swap the hubs. 17" fitment with ur original hub assebly.

Yep, I am hearing you, but I am looking down the barrel of spinal fusion, and am off the bike for 6 months so I am really needing things to do to it, (because if I dont pull it apart I am going to end up trying to ride it, plus) and need shit to keep me busy

    • 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.
