haha s'all good.

Give me some pointers on low-ballin. How much higher is the stated price range compared to the absolute minimum someone will accept it for :P

I found that stated price ranges were usually much lower than the price the people were after - to draw people in

was driving down Faraday street in Carlton, single lane heading towards Swanston,

had my right indicator on to go into a carpark and as I'm turning and before i could do anything else a Indian International student rides a CBR 125r straight into my car

He was trying to undertake me as i was turning WTF??

Soooo.... Haunted Hills today was awesome, despite my ridiculously stretched tyres and absurd camber I managed to be only .2 of a second slower than our El presidente Ash ;) hahahaha

:rofl:

what were the excuses?

lol 125cc powah musta been too much for him. ah well coulda been worse..

:(

Hows the Grids btw? Mine still going strong till I can afford something else which will turn them into a track rim

wtf, you want to buy quality jdm rims to use on the streets and save the cheap china cast rims for the track??? :domokun:

You got it round the wrong way son.

Better off using some r33 gtr rims as track rims

There was a few haha

I need more power and more tyres.... Damn it's gonna suck being a poor uni student this year :(

now do you see why i refuse to camber the rears for fitment? ;)

the more camber on the front the better. Reduces understeer. Nothing wrong with -4deg on the front for track, just chews your tyres on roads. The rears is a different story, best to have minimal camber for maximum traction but be aware of positive camber occuring during corners

Yer I know but what I'm saying is the fact I'm running that -4.5 on such a stretched tyre, basically puts me on the sidewall haha and when I do turn into a corner there isn't full contact with the road.

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
