No, mothers are generally ignorant to facts by their own stubborn choice; I provide sources to back my point.

Are you saying I'm still incorrect, along with the cited ACT rego webpage? Maybe someone should contact them letting them know they're providing misinformation on their website.

I'll let one of you guys do that.

Sorry I've been called out on a heap of things all over the place the last couple of weeks and I'm f**king sick of it lol. I'm happy to be PROVEN wrong. PROVEN. But if someone disputes something I've said - something that at least as far as I'm aware at the time is correct information - without providing any kind of evidence to back their claim - I'm going to go about showing I'm correct.

I don't mean to direct this next comment towards Mik at all, as he's cluey as fark and not just some internet knowitall (like me lol), but I'm getting real f**king tired of complete downers coming out of the woods trying to tell me I'm wrong....when thus far for the most part, I'm f**king right 100% lol.

Again, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Then we all learn something. But don't just tell me I'm wrong with nothing to back it up. That makes you look stupid, which I know you (Mik) are not :)

Its cool im ok with people talking about stuff.

Its interesting the difference with people that grew up with internet, and us that didnt. We are careful about what we say lest we get a punch in the mouth from the guy standing next to us. The next generation are free to express how they feel at any moment, like Anfanee.

Im getting better at it, had some chance to say some jokes that no one gets and be a cheeky smart ass. Its nice to express yourself.

I enjoy people like Anfanee, because he is expressing every thought, and holding nothing back, its very honest, and i get to know him just by reading.

ps... Vintage electrobike is operational, i need to work out how to load photos from my tablet, as the computer is dead.

I honestly can't tell if I'm supposed to be reading something between the lines there Mik, at least with regards to the second line in your post lol

No no its all good. Talking about stuff is fine, punching people isnt.

The last time i hit someone was in highschool, and when he cried i just felt like a total knob. Nothing good ever comes from that kind of thing. Also i grew up in a tough neighbourhood where you could get bashed for looking at someone. Not much fun.

Replica vintage bike.... its a schwinn hornet with low bars and an electric rear hub. I managed to mount the battery inside the frame rather than on the back rack. Next i want forks with triple clamps and a disc brake, so it stops better, but mostly cos it will look more like a motorbike.

My computer is dead so no photos, just google images for " retro electric bike " and you will see some cool bikes.

Electric bikes enable us to ride something that looks cool, that would be terrible without the assistance, like cruisers and choppers etc.

No more must we suffer for fashion.

Finally sold the CBR the other day :) one of my mates raced 300s with his old man last season, and decided this year they'd be stepping up to the 600cc bikes. Sold off all their 300 gear, including the trailer they'd built for the bikes. Built a new larger trailer for the 600s, bought all the spares, extras, tools required etc etc, paid entry fees for the season. Spent thousands each getting ready. Had a sponsor lined up providing the bikes....

Well from what I understand, their sponsor ran into some tax hiccups recently and can no longer provide the bikes.

Mate found himself up shit creek with only weeks before first round and no bike to ride lol. Given it's strictly a race bike, he didn't really require MY bike given it's registrable and comes with a "premium" of sorts as a result, over a strictly track bike like he would originally have bought.

Ah well, given the losses he was facing if he couldn't find a bike, bit the bullet and took mine off my hands :) mate's rates of course haha, wasn't gonna force him to pay market value on the thing (which ironically has gone UP in the last few months, LOL). He got a good price, and I'm even letting him pay it off over the coming months since he still needs some cash to race haha. Plus the thing's going to be used as it was designed to be - having its ass kicked on a track :)

Only took him a few hours after picking it up to have it stripped right back ready to be race prep'd heh

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
