Recommended Posts

I ride to work every day, including when it's raining so i am pretty sure i can ride a bike to a decent standard. I should set up a mock course and do some practice runs just to make sure i can do it, then sit the exam. Either way i think i will try and do it in the next month or two.

yeah full bike License, have had it since I was a wee youngen lol. Do your P's Leech, if you can ride around town comfortable then you will pass.

Well I just paid the final instalment for my new set of wheels being imported from J Land. I am going through Alan @ nextmod (online based Canberra business that actually has decent prices unlike everyone else). So far everything has been going very well, great communication and is able to get answers from his contacts in Japan almost straight away. This is my first dealing with him but if all goes smoothly there will certainly be repeat business based on his prices, range of products and effort/communication. :)

Anyways here is a few pics of the new wheels Limited Edition Gunmetal Grey 18" TE37's :)

Nice wheels,

+1 for Alan at NextMod, i asked about 17 questions between first contact and delivery and he was answering within 30 mins most of the time. Was $199 cheaper with NextMod then places like JustJap or Nengun, definitely planning on shopping with them again.

Talking about bikes, I was blown off today, and I was on the bike!!

Bloody new HSV's with traction control, didn't think she'd go me, left the lights easy found the car 2 lengths infront of me and when I finally get into the good rev range the front just lifts and continues to lift. GF stuts clutching on harder and harder so I throttle off.

Last time I try and keep up with the GF on the back of the bike!

Wait till I'm on the bike myself or have the GTR back, you devilish blonde..

I finally got around to watching spiderman 3 and wow, i didnt think itd be that crap... ive been a fan of spiderman since i was young and Venom was my favourite of the series, and they completely cocked it up. Somebody shouldve told Sam Raimi that Venom doesnt die, and hes 300kg of muscle, not some little whingy bitch. So dissapointing. the story wasnt even canon.

Worst. Movie. Ever.

We were talking about Battlefield Earth at lunch time today... I looked it up on the net, it's known as the worst movie ever, a movie that made a biggest loss in history. $73m to make, they only profit $21m.... :)

Saw Transformers - very dissapointing. Cool special effects, but just too much to watch. You don't know what's going on once they start to transform.

Man, our wasteland thread is dead, no trash, no hype, nuttin.

I was in Fyshwick few nights ago at 11pm (lay off) and saw a VL with a massive polished compressor cover hanging out the bonnet. As it went past, sounded like all of eternity was being sucked into it. Back in the day, I heard people running no wastegate pre turbo, then using one on the intercooler / somewhere else on the inlet track to bleed off non required air to keep a consistent plenum boost level.

Any one seen this car?

    • Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.
    • Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.
    • -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW
    • I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".
    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
