Just bought this from qld a week ago
I kept his plates hehe
>>14078083
If you did actually buy it, congratulations. They're a cool car. Not for me though I got rid of my last car to get something worse so I could have more fun driving it.

Father bought it for me for graduating dental school in top 15% of my class

na and turbo blocks would have different compression at the least, would be far easier to buy a turbo block and build it up with the 16v head
not sure what you're after but I'd want a car that doesn't need engineer's certs, in that case stick with the b230ft and mod it. if you want more than 300hp you'd be better off swapping to a different motor, could probably get away with a motor from an s40/v40 (b4194t I think? high pressure t4 motor) since a cop will probs see that it's a volvo 4-cyl and assume that it's the original

are these any good? i see them in shops everywhere and they're cheap as shit. i bought ones called "ox 552's" for my car it was the only ones that i liked after searching everywhere. they're not made in japan though
>>14078226
they cheap knockoffs, heavy, and if you race with them they'll probably break
but if they're just for show then that's okay, just don't expect them to perform

Hey lads, struggling to pick a new set of tyres (>>14078690), since apparently every store in this country refuses to put their prices online and I have no clue where to begin.
Probably not too much point spending big on high performance tyres for my Mazda 3, but I also don't want to cheap out on low-end eco tyres and find myself sliding into a tree because I took a corner a bit too fast.
>>14079066
I'm not too worried about all of those things because my current daily is worse.

RE003s cunt
i made a varex muffler controller today
>>14079309
Reviews look pretty solid. I'll call around and get prices from a few places. What's a reasonable price per tyre?
>>14079089
jaxquickfit put prices online
but seriously just call various places, first place you ask for a price, next place you say you have X price and you'd like to know if they can beat it, etc
and yeah get RE003s
>>14079336
>varex muffler
you know that shit is shit right
>>14079336
aren't they illegal here?
post video pls
>>14079344
IDK.
Got them on the 635CSi.
>>14079350
how so? the two i've seen installed on cars (friend's H22-swapped Civic and another friend's skyline GTS-T) worked perfectly (fully adjustable from grocery getter to straight pipe)
>>14079351
yeah but so is half of the other shit i'm doing to the subaru
i haven't got the muffler on the car yet, hopefully next couple of days, but here's a spergy controller vidjeo

>>14079344
around 150bux/tyre, but it depends on what tyre size (stock commodore size being fairly cheap)
>>14079361
>around 150bux/tyre, but it depends on what tyre size (stock commodore size being fairly cheap)
Just found them for $139 for 205/55/R16. That's already a very reasonable price, but I'll see if I can't knock it down a bit lower asking a few places to price match. Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.
>>14079387
Not bad. I believe bridgestone currently have a buy-3-get-one-free on the RE003 too, but unsure.
oh and >>14079350 i should probably mention i paid 50 bux for the varex so idgaf

the one i got was kenyan or some form of african. strong african accent. jesus fuck this is who they let become cops? no shit she was at least 55 kg.
you just know she got to become a cop becuase mug diversity and women. meanwhile i ask vic police few months ago what the waiting period is like for MEN applying and its almost 2 years but women only a few months becuase they want more women.
maybe i should have been born a woman or a indian cunt so i could get in instantly.

>>14080364
>>14080368
The 2016 one with all that extra weight, they're not that light. But I guess 300hp will make it not as slow
hits 100km/h in a claimed 7.6 seconds (as a six-speed manual) and 8.2 seconds (in six-speed auto form).
fug I didn't realise the 86 was THAT slow

>>14080411

?
>>14080402
One of the above anons said it'd have a awd option, and the power increase is probably going to involve forced induction which means more parts/weight
>>14080413
That's what it's called in Vic. Responsible Service of Alcohol and Responsible Service of Gambling.
Basically sell drinks to people all night and get paid $30 an hour, you might work between 15-35 hrs a week.
I just started a job in warehouse.
No prior experience. I got forklift license. I use the scissor lift and reach forklift and general picking packing loading and unloading fans and I'm the only person in charge of the warehouse about 150 racks of pellets.

No I do get 10 days sick leave a year + annual leave
its 7-3:30 monday to thurs and 7-1 on fridays
im sure in 6 months time ill get a pay rise but who knows how mch. probably a dollar more or something from what im seeing on other job sites lots of ads for ":no experience required" thats like 24+ an hour
>>14080364
>AWD
Going to add a lot of weight. Doesn't that defeat the entire point of the car?
>>14080408
>GT86
>Fastest
lol.
>>14080444
Seems like an alright job. Sit on your ass and move pallets all day on a forklift. I wouldn't complain. My first job I got paid $10 an hour working on my uncle/grandfathers block working from 7-4 every single day for 6 months.
>>14080450
i probably spend 30 minutes on the forklift. its a lot of heavy lifting putting away boxes of stock from the machines that manufacture the parts at the back.
and its hot as hell
>>14080449
They should know by now that adding forced induction to the current 2012-2015 cars would make the car 100% better, but no. they want to add 150-250kg with AWD and other junk not needed making it even worse power/weight.
why do you even need a fast car with speed limits?
86 is fine probably just needs tad more for overtaking
>>14080406
Job market in SA isn't too bad at the moment honestly. As long as you don't work in IT anyway.
>>14080405
>Might name drop Postim8 for a job
Can't hurt, although it probably won't help much either. I've been debating applying for a van driving job for next year. Or switching back over to IT for a bit. Guess I'll see how I feel.
>>14080408
I know this is supposed to be bait but I don't really get this car. You're in used E36 and E46 M3 money to buy one, not to mention a ton of other faster cars. I don't really like how it looks either.
I'd just spend half as much and get an FD myself.
>>14080459
I can break every speed limit in the country in first gear. The power is ludicrous for the road but it doesn't stop me riding the bike.

Adelaide isn't too bad for those at the moment. iiNet runs one of their centres here as well as separate ones for Internode and Adam.
>>14080471
It's more power to weight. I'm around 1000hp per tonne at the moment.

This isn't true unless you're buying them out the bargain bin.
>>14080479

Is this some 'new' shit posting?
Australia Post actually pays us pretty well considering how easy the job is.
I usually work as an OB Tech or in Networking. Just taking a break at the moment and still need to pay the bills.
The amount of GT86/BRZ that try to stoplight race my R1 is pretty hilarious.
>>14080482
Yeah it's a mates place, the FZ6R is his. My CBR is sitting there at the moment, there were three RX-4s in there too.
>>14080493
Yeah it doesn't do anything for me either. I don't care if people want to buy them or whatever, but it's not a car I really 'get'.
>>14080497
Depends on what you're buying. You can get insane performance for $3000-4000 if you not what to look for. There are plenty of higher value bikes though.
I'd love to own a Vyrus 987 one day. 158kg wet with ~210hp.

Yeah, I was in the top 2 of a really good one in Melbourne, Getting paid almost 60k a year + free trips around the country to fix the hardware because they don't have IT depts in their other locations + free iphone 6s for work. i was mirin
Fucking dat, last thread ended up like this, the gt86 is just another car, like everything objective, not everyone is going to like it
>>14080527
new R1's are like only $24k unless you go for the stupid m version and add a few k for the electronic shit
>>14080533
gt86 is a literal 2010+ god machine under 30k.
>>14080537
>Buying an r1
>Putting yourself 6 foot under
Pick 2, Motorbikes alone are dangerous enough, R1 would be fucking nuts.
>>14080532
What happened if you don't mind me asking? That sounds like a pretty sweet gig. OB Tech stuff was pretty similar. I'd rock up, set up, then sit around having some beers with the team. Until we stopped broadcasting our job is pretty much just to step in if something goes wrong.
>>14080537
>stupid m version and add a few k for the electronic shit
The extra money is worth it alone for the electronic suspension. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
>>14080543
Litre bikes are pretty docile for the most part honestly. Got a good amount of torque so it'll pull in any gear and can sit on the highway in 6th at 3000-4000rpm. Of course if you open it up it's pretty crazy. Always puts a smile on my face though.
>>14080551
I didn't have experience with citrix and no CCNA. I said I was willing to learn but they must've found someone better. I went in for an interview but they never contacted me again after saying I was top 2 or top 3 consideration for the job. OB Tech job sounds sweet though, I just need a job now to spend on tech and project cars, or projects in general.
Also R1, I can't handle a Suzuki DR 350 at full throttle in the bush tracks so a r1 on the road would be 10x worse full throttle.
>>14080568
>I didn't have experience with citrix and no CCNA
Yeah I haven't done Citrix myself, but I've got a CCNA at least. Sucks that you didn't get it, but if you got that far you can definitely do it again.
>OB Tech job sounds sweet though
Yeah it's great, hours are a bit sporadic though and you pretty much have to know someone to get an in. I was on the team that build the new Austereo (SAFM/Hit 107 and Triple M) radio station at the beginning of the year.
>I can't handle a Suzuki DR 350 at full throttle in the bush tracks so a r1 on the road would be 10x worse full throttle.
Like I said, it's pretty docile honestly. Engine is so smooth and linear it's pretty predictable. It starts to get fast above 5000rpm though for sure.

>>14080583
>Front wheel goes up when going fast
Fuck that. I've had friends die from dumb shit like that, Popping wheelies in traffic, falling off and getting hit by cars + hooning in carparks and making their heads explode on impact hitting concrete poles.
Apparently citrix is really good to know + CCNA would be a good start too.
>>14080600
Was my first power wheelie. I'd just gotten off an NBC110 I'd been riding for six or seven hours. Was kind of tired and used to pinning the throttle to move all day.
>Popping wheelies in traffic
Irresponsible and dumb.
>hooning in carparks and making their heads explode on impact hitting concrete poles
No reason to be an ass in car parks. I only really used them to practice when I was new to riding. Even then always ride with a helmet, doesn't matter what you're doing or what speed you're going.
It's really easy to handle around town though.

Juniper is another good one to know at the moment as well.
>>14080604
Juniper would be good to learn if more people implemented it in Aus, I've never seen people looking for Juniper certs.
Filtering through traffic to the front would be the only good thing of owning a motorbike. Don't they have bike only lanes somewhere in Australia?
>>14080608
>I've never seen people looking for Juniper certs
All of iiNet's backbone is Juniper. Being the largest ISP behind Telstra I don't need to say it's a big network.
>Filtering through traffic to the front would be the only good thing of owning a motorbike
The performance isn't a good thing? Most bikes get fantastic fuel economy, cheap insurance, cheap rego, etc. My old CBR's rego was $68 a quarter.
>>14080613
Bikes still don't seem like the answer, i'd rather arrive home in one piece and spending more than being scared for my life and saving money. I didn't think juniper was a thing here, I thought that was only in europe. It would be one big pain in the ass if you were the people setting up and configuring iiNet's entire network.
>>14080622
>I'd rather arrive home in one piece and spending more than being scared for my life and saving money.
It's really not like that. Even after the accident earlier this year I get a bit anxious at times sure, but I'm not "scared for my life".
Realistically though if you can't accept the risk you shouldn't ride.
The performance is fun too. It's very rare to encounter something that is as fast or faster than you are.
I'm thinking of gearing the R1 down a bit and adding a speedo healer. Don't need any more acceleration, but the top of first gear is 162 which is kind of excessive.
>>14080660
Your mum isn't in that pic.
Would buying a Toyota Corona be a good start for someone who has never had a project car before?
>>14080632
I only like riding on dirt tracks. I can't trust other drivers more than anything. Of course the instant power would be great, even a 250cc bike would be quicker than most production cars made today off the line.
>>14080676
>even a 250cc bike would be quicker than most production cars made today off the line.
A lot of the faster 250s (MC22, ZX2R, etc) and to a lesser extend have this feeling of winding up before you get any real performance. Fast definitely but you pretty much need to drop a gear (or two on a 250) to really GO.
The litre bike doesn't have that winding up, there's just power everywhere. That's really what makes it feel nice to ride around town. For me personally anyway.
>>14080671
>Toyota Corona
Nah, Buy like a KE30, KE70, Datsun 1200 ute, Anything pre 80s would be a great project car. Maybe even 90s jap. Old Faclons or pre commodore, VL, VK commodore. Anything pre 80's really, except for a few cars.
>>14080703
How much do R1's cost to register? Since it is a performance bike.
>visit bogan dipshit public housing uncle

Yeah mate, Important life lesson, Learn from the mistakes from those who surround you.
>>14080717
>How much do R1's cost to register? Since it is a performance bike.
I just checked then and it'll be $124 for three months. I'm fairly sure it's in the highest registration bracket for motorcycles as well.
>>14080739
I'm sure it would be, Sounds like it'd be around the same cost as a ute.

how can she be so dense that I don't want to talk to her?
>>14080703
I love the wind up of my mc22, except the gearbox is a bit to closely geared for me, always guessing when downshifting.
There is something special about slowly revving it up with only a crack of the throttle. Going up to 60 in first but staying with the traffic is amazing. All the noise but no speed
>>14080800
dont be a dumb shit. the LEAST you could do is find out what she wants first. if she is going out her way to trying to talk to you maybe she wants the D. did ya think of that?
>>14080958
I know what she wants and I don't want to give it to her
ya don't stick your dick in crazy
>>14080994
lots of other people do. find em' fuck em' and forget em
>>14080933
It gets tiring when commuting eventually. The noise isn't fun for longer highway trips either. Close ratio boxes are extremely common on sports bikes, although not sure what you mean by guessing when downshifting, I never had any trouble knowing what gear I was in.
Try disconnecting your speedometer and counting gears for a few days. The tachometer is electric so that'll still work.
driving at 4-5am is the comfiest shit in the world and don't ever let anyone say otherwise
>dem empty roads

Because my i6 engine weighs more than your entire car.
>>14080994
Crazy fucks the best.
>>14081294
God yeah, even with earplugs I'm worried about my hearing from cruising at 9k
Talking about downshifting to speed up, sometimes I'll think 1 down is enough then need to drop another 2
>>14082338
Highly recommend getting some cheap musicians ear plugs. Will take the edge off the sound but not compromise your ability to hear traffic. Hearos or Ear Peace are both good.
Oh I get what you mean. The R1 is nice like that, can click into 6th at 80 and it's around 3000rpm and fairly quiet. Will still pull if I roll on the throttle though.
>>14081704
driving around after 2am in the first week of january is surreal

>>14084474
there are no fuckin' cars on the road from roughly the 1st of jan through to around the middle of the 2nd week of jan in my experience
it used to be all of january but not anymore

>>14081704
hah
I have work at 3:30 in the morning.
If I'm late and leave at 3:30 not 3 all of a sudden... all these trucks and some cars on the road too. Such that the road is most definitely not mine and have to overtake on the other side or undertake and shit like that to maintain my speed.
Few weeks ago I was starting at 4 in the morning and if I didn't leave on time at 3:30 but 4 rather... oh dear god all the trucks on the road. And they're all in a shitty mood because they want the road to themselves too. Every single person on the road at 3-4 AM simply cannot believe how many other cars there are on the road and just want everyone else to fuck off. Like how dare they be driving this early too disturbing my damn tranquility.
Seriously though, some roads are so absolutely hellish to drive on that even at 3 in the fucking morning there's traffic pissing you off. That's King Georges Road... surely the worst road in Sydney to drive on. I only drive it because it's by far the most direct path. People behind the wheel are so fucking stupid these days. Driving on main roads is fucking hellish. Fuck

It's not that uncommon for motorcycles. They pretty much need tall gearing to be controllable.

thanks friend
normally i wouldn't bother replying to idiots like him but it's 3:30pm on a monday so i'm bored
>>14085196
because i've made friends with a few people from here outside of here, which was only possible because i followed their exploits via their tripfaggotry. (BLDC being the most obvious one)
I figure it's easier to keep track of me when i tripfag, plus it means people who genuinely don't like me for whatever reason can filter me out. I post anonymously outside /dat/, for the most part
How easy or difficult would it be to sick a current affairs onto some shitty neighbours
>>14085199
aye,i'm not sure i've ever seen parramatta road properly empty

>>14085299
just a mate's neighbour across from him are being unpleasent for the street. Derro twelvies that live there are trying to start on him and they might brick his car soon. But for the most part that house's occupants' issues haven't really spilled out towards the other neighbours
