I ride to work every day, including when it's raining so i am pretty sure i can ride a bike to a decent standard. I should set up a mock course and do some practice runs just to make sure i can do it, then sit the exam. Either way i think i will try and do it in the next month or two.

yeah full bike License, have had it since I was a wee youngen lol. Do your P's Leech, if you can ride around town comfortable then you will pass.
Well I just paid the final instalment for my new set of wheels being imported from J Land. I am going through Alan @ nextmod (online based Canberra business that actually has decent prices unlike everyone else). So far everything has been going very well, great communication and is able to get answers from his contacts in Japan almost straight away. This is my first dealing with him but if all goes smoothly there will certainly be repeat business based on his prices, range of products and effort/communication. :)

Anyways here is a few pics of the new wheels Limited Edition Gunmetal Grey 18" TE37's :)

Nice wheels,

+1 for Alan at NextMod, i asked about 17 questions between first contact and delivery and he was answering within 30 mins most of the time. Was $199 cheaper with NextMod then places like JustJap or Nengun, definitely planning on shopping with them again.

Talking about bikes, I was blown off today, and I was on the bike!!

Bloody new HSV's with traction control, didn't think she'd go me, left the lights easy found the car 2 lengths infront of me and when I finally get into the good rev range the front just lifts and continues to lift. GF stuts clutching on harder and harder so I throttle off.

Last time I try and keep up with the GF on the back of the bike!

Wait till I'm on the bike myself or have the GTR back, you devilish blonde..

I finally got around to watching spiderman 3 and wow, i didnt think itd be that crap... ive been a fan of spiderman since i was young and Venom was my favourite of the series, and they completely cocked it up. Somebody shouldve told Sam Raimi that Venom doesnt die, and hes 300kg of muscle, not some little whingy bitch. So dissapointing. the story wasnt even canon.

Worst. Movie. Ever.

We were talking about Battlefield Earth at lunch time today... I looked it up on the net, it's known as the worst movie ever, a movie that made a biggest loss in history. $73m to make, they only profit $21m.... :)

Saw Transformers - very dissapointing. Cool special effects, but just too much to watch. You don't know what's going on once they start to transform.

Man, our wasteland thread is dead, no trash, no hype, nuttin.

I was in Fyshwick few nights ago at 11pm (lay off) and saw a VL with a massive polished compressor cover hanging out the bonnet. As it went past, sounded like all of eternity was being sucked into it. Back in the day, I heard people running no wastegate pre turbo, then using one on the intercooler / somewhere else on the inlet track to bleed off non required air to keep a consistent plenum boost level.

Any one seen this car?

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
