Bump. Mr Rezz-san, any word from the shop? LW.

Joel: glad to hear that the marks don't require another respray. Cheers, Lucien.

Ugly. Gimme a stocker over that wideboy kit any day. LW.

That's the GF's F360. I would never get a Ferrari that's not red LW.

Yes, Nismo makes a series of mounts for the RBs, and there are "anti-twist" bars. Of course the best option would be to get an N1 block... LW.

You liar. The engine is in the back and the F360 has a V8 LW.

Exactly which clip do you want? Price is US$290,000.00 LW.

elGTR: the yanks have a funny idea of "stock internals" though: usually they mean a stock bottom, but head work. Plus, there is never much mention of longevity... Still, there is no doubt the 2JZ is a great engine. LW.

Pay enough and most insurers will welcome your business (particularly if your dad is on the ticket too). Problem is, money doesn't grow on trees, hence the trend to JCI and Famous. LW.

I got one: yours for just $369,000.

Just remember, to be your best you need a canoe (and Divx4 ) http://lwells.techadmins.com/canoe-divx.avi LW.

If it didn't tip over thanks to its higher centre of gravity.... LW.

Probably both if you have a finite budget, using the left over on mods. LW.

Oh the hilarity... safety? Pff. 4WDs are notorious for poor safety Edit: yes yes, its improving, but its still worse than most cars. LW.

Lovely, although I think the 240Z thats floated around SAU before does it more for me: http://www.zparts.com/showcase/engines/pag...8z-testfit.html LW.

Why not? They are all sold as family sedans (or slightly upmarket versions of family sedans) at roughly the same price point. The benefits of AWD are not just confined to the dirt track either, which is the point the ad makes. I think its a good ad personally, in fact I think whichever PR agency Mitsubishi uses makes some great ads. LW.

Just read up and plan plan plan, and budget budget budget Its not that scary if you take the time to research it. Personally I think going with a custom broker is a small price to pay for a much easier ride. LW.

I think you have misunderstood what I was saying. I am not arguing "bikes are dangerous", rather that "motorists are dangerous". The fact that most learners and inexperienced motorists will have an accident is proof enough to me they shouldn't risk further harm by being on a motorcycle. And while your claim about the likelihood of dying in an accident may be true, death is hardly the worst that can happen. Give me statistics that include permanent impairment and then we can talk. LW.

That's only one side of the story though. You can be the safest driver -- make that "rider" if we go with the whole "riding makes you more alert" thing -- in the world, and still be involved in accidents due to other's stupidity. Every time I read a bike thread about road manners, riders whinge (probably justifiably -- I wouldn't know not being a rider) that cars are forever ignoring them. Now it only takes the slightest of taps from some other numb-nuts of the road to send you flying over your handle bars. Hence, I think its a bad idea. Not only will the "hoon" element be even more at risk of killing themselves, but even the most sensible learner/p-plater could be killed by some other idiot on the road because there is nothing between them and the road besides a bit of clothing and a helmet. LW.

You'd have to catch me first you fat bastard LW.

And suddenly fatalities go up Seriously, if your going to have a crash, at least have it in a car. I understand the point your making, but I can't agree that being in a more risky situation is a better solution. LW.

Sounds like some competitive spirit LW.

Sciby: the increased wealth and living standards post WWII have meant that the Japanese diet has increased in total calorie count and the percentage of proteins (particularly from meats). What does all that mean? Taller people, basically. LW.

Likwise. If I ever have a family, I think the Stagea is up there LW.
