nah it was better than ever this weekend.

Last corner I missed the tyres by about 3cm.

I think I fell off because there was oil coming out of my catch can onto the tyre, emptied the catch can when I got home and there was about 50ml of oil in there... Fkn more oil came out than stayed in!

I concur... It was a left hand corner, your catch can is on the right hand side (from the drivers seat), with the breather ingeniously placed on the right hand SIDE of the catch can, makes sense that if it had a bit of oil in it, it could slosh out the breather and straight down in front of the front right hand (and outside, taking the most weight) wheel :/.

Catch can is coming out and being sent away for some modification by someone who actually knows how catch cans work.

oh, don't watch the video in the embed on this page, the sound is like 50 times better when you watch it in youtube.

Is it just me, but when I'm doing zig-zags on the back straight here

Does the car just not want to turn left?

Time attack really opened my eyes to the comprises I make not only in my car setup, but also my life style. If I want to be better I need to practice and develop the car more, and that costs money. You're all my witness when I say, no more beer unless its a super special occasion and no more junk food, no more spending $15 on a take out meal when the supermarket is closer and cheaper. Postie bike development halted, no more motocross... Gotta start doing it right!

For those who are interested and don't follow me on facebook I'll give you a little update to my pledge.

I've stopped buying & Drinking Beer, fkn hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I've saved a tonne of cash and I'm feeling heaps better.

motocross is dead :( Makes me sad but doing skids is more important right now.

My starting weight was 125kilos and now I'm down to 90 kilos. So making pretty good progress there, only down side is my Sparco evo 3 doesn't fit me anymore and a slop around in it all the time and I'm even further away from the seat because my back fat was propping me up! hahaha.

So yeah, that's all going well :) I'd like to say it's helped with driving but I can't be sure. I know I'm better than I've ever been now but why? We'll never know...

    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
    • Reminds me I really need to install that HKS oil cooler I bought years ago.
    • It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.
    • Here are some side on's.
    • I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
