My electric bike, a modified Schwinn Hornet:

Im planning to paint the red rim and red bit on the forks in back. I think a vintage style seat would be good too. And different bars, though i havent seen the right ones yet.

Controller in where the drink holder was. Drink holder sounds cool but is really stupid.

Made torque arms for both sides.

The Ratfink is a very well made bike for a chopper, usually they are total crap to ride, but this one is real nice.

The attention to detail is very good.

It has a custom seat, some cool framework (all alloy), mega long chain and guard, wild rear dropouts and dice valvecaps.

Also managed to pick up an old HD saddlebag for $10, it had a small hole from the previous owner sliding down the road, but it is in good nik, only fits the Ratfink, because on a normal bike its too close to the pedals.

Had a bit of fun yesterday!

Also,

My car is no longer for sale!

I like this. Why the change of mind? Come to the cruise on the 15th :D

You were getting a bit annoyed with the car in front were you? :P

New job with Fifth Gear Motoring. They give me a car, so I'll only be paying rego for one car, the skyline :)

That's pretty cool. What do you do?

You've probably seen the mini coopers around :)

Mainly learner lessons, but also skid pan days (as above ^^), defensive driver courses and track days. I should be up and running in 4-6 weeks if all goes to plan

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
