The Defected Thread...

[Dohmar]

Yeah ... only do 3 burnouts at the MotoGP, not 4!

Lol.... nice one

but am I the only dude out there who doesnt see the point of burnouts? *blinks* even a fwd can do a burnout and all yr doing is destroying a functional piece of the car that costs a decent amount of cash...

Or maybe Im just associating burnouts with commodores and hence bogans and inbreeding ;\

-D

[scandyflick]

It's dangerous when it gets this bad...

hah, both of dans rears looked like that not too long ago.

[Carbon 34]

after pricing new tires for my car, I dont see how people can afford burnouts with big rims, or why they do them on a rough street.

the way i see it ,$ 500++ for two cheapy tires min just for them to go up in smoke and dust,,, stupid as hell.it doesnt impress me at all

not to mention the other parts it trashes.

anyone want my 18" Impul rims with bridgestone tires some tread left, 30% or so,,, Im going down to 17" for cheap tires. how do the tires companies think 1 inch taller demands 4 or more times the price for the same tires? rip off, supply and demand gone wrong

or running so much dial in on the front wheels the tires only ride on the first few Cm,,, hello its a street car

oh and scandy I know a female , who has the other 4 matching tires to that one driving around christies in a white ford. with unbelted kids in the car no less, oh and she got pulled over for no rego and let go? bragging it up how she got off ...life isnt fair..lol

Cars are a different story.

I use to throw old track day tyres from my race bike onto my TLR. These tyres had "gone off" for track use, meaning it had plenty of tread, but the compound wouldn't withstand track abuse anymore. So I had another set of these to throw on when I got home. I get double the use out of bike tyres, so I can afford to do burnouts.

... just gotta remember to leave enough tread to get home

see you learn your lesson..lol that would suck dog balls to walk a bike in the middle of nowhere..lol

I was just shitty after hearing the dicounted price ???for 18" tires in OZ..lol in my days I used to fry up some tires , on my datto 1200 with skinny 5" retread tires on 12" rims.but I was 16 then..lol

and yes I called for the SAU price too..lol

a burnout from a commo at the lights is gay, but some big block wielding monaro throwing it around like it was a fiesta, smoke absolutely pooring off the rears is enough point for me to like burnouts lol gazznats ftw

[scandyflick]

awesome. welcome back to the non defected club.

[typevu]

Cheers guys! Now to join the non-standard club

[rad100]

awsome man!! i knew u would get through!

[Guest CleanAndSimple]

congrats on getting threw first time, havent really heard of that much.

and to burnouts, negative on that one, i work at a tire store and i dont do burnouts or drift. grip is where its at

its amazing the amount of imports i see needing new tires not because of burnouts, but because of there camber, looks fine on one side but steel belts on the other (at least it would get thew the normal cops)

i reckon the best thing about being defected was driving around without caring about it!

vu, how much did it cost and what did they look at? obviously it was your airfilter but did you get to see them look over the car? and if so, like i said, what did you notice them looking at?

[typevu]

was something like $137...

you sit down at a chair just infront of the car

First thing he does is check all indicators/lights, seat belts, pop the boot+bonnet etc

The guy hardly looked in the engine bay - looked completely standard for him to bother I guess.

He spent the most time under the car - hoisted the car up and went straight to the rear where the hicas is and looked around there, looked at the bushings and components around each wheel, he then jacked the front up and had a crow bar looking thing pushing the wheel up - may of been testing the shocks? or bearings?

No exhaust decibel check - was quiet enough.

Did a brake test for front and rear - sigh of relief when the word PASS went up on the screen lol

After all that he just mentioned the passenger seat was moving about a smidge - need to tighten a bolt down or something, but apart from that everythings good. He removes sticker, signed it off and away I go.

All up from arriving to the front office to exit took no more than 30 minutes.

Agree with you there, I don't see any point in burn outs either.

Waste of tires = waste of $. Also you must be on drugs if you like the smell of burnt rubber...

I probably have better fun just flushing $ down the toilet.

Doesn't cost me a cent when I do burnouts on the bike

... car, no! Bike, yes.
