The Bogan

Nah, not a big enough fan to own one

?I will need to grow a goatee, but yes, that is the look I'm going for....?

I've always owned bikes, my issue is my body was having a hard time with my prefered style of bike, the sports bike. I couldn't ride for more than 1/2 hour without my back, or wrists leaving the building. So I went looking at, god forbid, cruisers. M5 in peak hour, in a car, is a f**king carpark, I halve the time on a bike. And whilst the Jap bikes are cheap and reliable, and easy to service, and the "smart" choice, they are covered in cheap plastic bits, chrome, and fake chrome, and sound like balls, even with an aftermarket exhaust (I love exhaust noise ❤️) Euro bikes cost a fortune, and really look like a kids drawing. Which left the Harley's to look at, Sporters, bottom of the barrel and are limited to 1200cc, Softtails, the "fake" ridgid frame doesn't do it for me, Touring are 2 wheeled cars full of electrics and armchairs (plus my short legs cannot reach the controls). Dyna's, or what was the Dyna line, the Street Bob struck my fancy, it was minimalistic, had a low seat height, to match my low arse height, and 1690cc. It was also discontinued in 2017, the original owner of this brought it, then basically kept it his garage for 4 years. It is only just really run in. It will be alot more run in after I hit it with a stick this weekend. The thing has enough torque to pull stumps, and will be perfect for runs from Holsworthy to Randwick. In other news they have officially stopped production of the 86/BRZ, I was hoping Toyota would drop a in line 4 into it, but with the current zombie apocalypse that is very unlikely. There is lots of click bait with the new 400Z that I have been following, which could be an option if that ever happens. Meh, the zombie apocalypse has caused many changes, to many people, one of them is the balls to the wall, full on retard, ultra-bogan spec fad that I am going thru..... I am having heaps of fun, which is the main thing.

Slow and noisy You cannot get more bogan

That is an oil warmer, they are designed to bring up your oil temp quicker from cold. Your coolant temp will reach operating temp well before you oil has reached its operating temperature. As for cooling the oil, they really do nothing. Alot of heavy plant, as well as car engines, use them, the quicker your oil temp comes up, the quicker you can run an engine at full load. I had one from a Subaru Forester installed on my 86, the oil stabilised with the coolant temps much quicker. This meant that once my oil temps got to operating temp, 90°c (ish) I could thrash the guts out of the engine. It had no effect on my coolant temps either. It did help bring down my oil temps slightly after a good thrash though, once I got of the loud pedal anyway, but only slightly as the assembly would heat soak. I know a few people who installed them with a thermostat oil to air cooler which worked really well at getting the oil up to temp, and keeping rhe oil from getting overcooked. I see Uncle Duncan has replied whilst I have been typing. He will know a world of "the good oil" IRT their use, reliability and efficiency IRT the RB though. Point of note: I removed mine from my old RB, years ago, when I had it built and a oil to air cooler installed, my oil temp would drop down really low just driving around, so low that I'm pretty sure it never really got up to operating temp. You really need to get your oil up to at least 90°c before you thrash it, otherwise the oil will not do its job efficiently at protecting your engine. Anyways............do a skid..

LOL

So....instead of dropping more cash on the cruise ship, I got something else to play with. A water pump.

So, a weird thing happened. A shop didn't want my money or try to rip me off. I rang Oztrack and asked about a high stall, they said it isn't required with my 3.91 gears, even at the drags. He said that if I'm not at WOT all the time it would make the car sluggish on the street and typically a noisy PITA. When I asked what else I could spend some coin on, the only value for money modification that wouldn't kill the old slushbox was a wet 50-75 shot....... We chatted for a while about his old LS1 VX, it ended up with basically the same mods as mine, but with some M/T's and a 75 shot, it layed down a 11.7 at 114 mph in full street trim. I'm thinking that ain't to bad for about a $2k "investment in fun" for when WSID opens up again.

Nice, but needs more short hammer time movies. I laughed hard watching the removal of the sound deadening. I am a convert of the dry ice method, leaves alot more time for beer and daydreaming.

Not for sale or swap anymore. Cheers

What is your location?

Just add hard launches with sticky tyres, profit......

Would also concider swapping for 2 Interceptors 15 x 7 with some good M/T 3540 (235/60 15) drag radials

Evo you can daily without alot of risk R32 GTR, yeah nah, as a daily risk is x 1 million I wish I got a EVO X instead of my old 2015 STI Meh, good luck with your hunting.

Found some old Prodigy, Bluetoothed it up and......f**k the stock speakers were rubbish. Some new 6.5" Alpines have now found their way in. All is well in the universe of bogan again. A big plus is ABC classical radio will be pumping.

Mostly, to a point, mine sort of is, well, except for the bits that aren't. In the end, it's your acceptance of risk. You gotta risk it for the biscuit

Or $900

Don't daily a 32 GTR, if you do the parts will be on Gumtree soon enough.

Swap for clean VX SS Commodore alloys. Don't need a elliptical anymore. Cheers

What's the address the parts went to?

Nice Helmholtz chamber when in screamer mode, that should really negate the drone, until the gate opens that is.

New happy price of $1000. Or, swap for a quality NORDICTRACK, PROFORM or other high end elliptical trainer. The new rubber cost $200 more than that. Buy these for the rubber, then sell the rims, profit...

I like my coffee like my women White and bitter
