Hey guys,

I have a fairly stock 97 r33 coming in a month. The plan was to do some minor mods (fmic, ebc, 18” magz, dump pipe) already has cat back and some A/m suspension. This is the thing, recently I have been thinking about taking the cash allocated for the mods and buying a 250 motorbike instead and getting my bike licence. So instead of a car how I want it I would have a stockish car but also have a bike to ride around on.

What are your thoughts? What would you do?

Either way, you will be happy. I think get the bike - you will appreciate your Skyline more, especially when you get caught in the rain on the bike.

What type of bike were you thinking of?? On your L's now you can get up to 650cc as long as the power to weight ratio isn't too radical. Maybe get a cheaper bike to begin on, then you still have some cash for the car.

Yep, same situation. Was gonna get a bike, then decided totally against it after hearing about other bike owners run ins with drivers who 'didn't see them'. So i saved all of my money towards the skyline. There is not a lot of room for error on a streetbike, not matter how good the rider is, you can't take into condsideration other road users stupidity.

having owned a bike - I would say go the mods on the car - no point splitting your money between two points and ending up compromising both....

you get both responsible and irresponsible people in cars AND on bikes, so why go spouting crap about either? just do your best to avoid them......

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
