or goto your local bike shop...they always have specials

eg today i got my carbon/kevlar MX helmet for 150bucks

basic open face helmets can be had for 80bucks but they are heavy and..... well shit to be honest

+1, what standard is it that was knocked back?

CAMS helmet requirements are here: http://www.camsmanua...dule_G_Q111.pdf

importantly, it includes the following:

4.8 Moratoriums

(a) There is a moratorium on the implementation of any changes to apparel requirements, save for any identified and pressing safety related requirements which may arise or become evident, for non-international events, until 31 December 2012.

It's been like that for ages and It's all pretty clear on their website:

Helmet Standards approved for Race for Real Off-Street Meetings

Drivers Drivers of vehicles slower than 10.99-seconds (1/4 mile) are permitted to use any helmet (full-face or open- face) meeting one of the following Standards:

• SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (USA)

• SNELL M2000, M2005, SFI 41.2A (USA)

• BS 6658-1985

• AS/NZS 1698:2006 or AS/NZS 1698.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
