Quality cars, my opinion was swayed after driving one!

Swayed in which direction? I drove it straight after driving my Skyline, I couldn't get over how tight and short the gearbox was a how short the clutch throw was. Handled amazingly, unfortunately the paint wasn't as good as I had hoped and the soft top was not so soft... More dry and crumbly

Want me to pick you up on my bike Leigh?

Too soon?

f**ker lol

I was looking at bike rego costs 500cc and over is just over 600 now.. Think I might get a husky 511 (they're actually 480cc) brembos 118kg and 50-60hp $450 rego better

Although do like r6

Positively...I never thought they were bad cars, but didn't think anything special until I drove. Basically a big go kart and loads of fun. Gotta give them revs to get them going, but still better in traffic than turbo lag.

Didn't know rego depended on displacement :(

R6 for sure! Though...if you can stomach the looks, the GSX-R600 is the fastest accelerating middleweight...it's marginally slower than an R1 to 100 :O

saw last night an orange gallardo followed by a white modded c63 followed by a white gallardo with green/red stripe driven by a little asian chick on russel st.

asians in all 3....

i died a little inside.

When will it be my turn...?

That's why I got one, can't beat them for the price. Speaking of, that's the best price and mileage I've seen on an 08 since mine...buy it nao.

lol there was an r6 doing "prinny" laps last night with all the bogans

serviced the 2fiddy

sump plug wouldn't tighten properly so i put some sealant on it...

hoping for the best/expecting the worst

Careful with that one Rimmy, and make sure you check your oil level / for oil leaks before every ride. People have lost their engine oil half way through a ride before, engine seized, come off the bike and died :(

All the little issues with car engines are big issues for bikes :/

No idea how to check oil level lol I know it takes 2.6l so I just put it in that much

I started/reved it there are no leaks

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
