yeah its awesome, they didnt even have them on the shelves yet and my gf and i decided to go out and buy 2 bikes.

she didnt want anything to much, but she got a nice bike for around $300, where as i wanted the hydrolic disks and got a $1060 bike for $900.

so this bike is brand new, meaning that not even a customer has taken it for a test ride around the shop. cant wait til tomorrow

Looks a very nice bike and sounds like a really good buy. I do a fair bit of racing and have been competing since 1996 in cross country. Where did you get it from if you dont mind me asking?

thanks :cheers:

i got it from gold cross bikes (name may be slightly different) gotta get a bike rack now. its fun to ride, nice and smooth, breaks are awesome as well.

gearing is great, its a 9 speed so all up i have 27 gears, its sweet!

Cool, was just wondering as I am always on the look out for a good bike shop. Best one I go to at the moment is Terry Hammond in Highett Road next to the train station. Always has a good stock of bits and is local to me.

hey i got a GT too which looks very similar.. think its a 2003 model.. no fancy discs though..

pretty nice to ride. Went for a ride in Brisbane over the weekend - nearly killed me! too many damn hills! I haven't really taken it offroad yet, as its still got the slicks on it :Oops:

urs is the avalanch 2.0? awesome :rant:

havent taken mine offroad yet but might take it to the farm soon lol

i had the chance to buy a 2004 avalanche 0.5 for the same price but there were only sizes small and extra small left

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
