if they havnt gone ill take the tyres , can pick them up any night this week.

Motorkana in the morning , then went for a cruise to oxford and gravel bash up lees valley , where my muffler proceeded to fall off. :

Only want a temporary fit , as in I want to be able to return it to stock appearance if need be.

Ok I HAVE used the search and google and cant find an answer. Does anyone know that the thread is on the filler bungs of an R180? Reason is I want to fit a temp gauge to monitor diff fluid temps , and want to fit the probe via a screw in fitting in place of one of the bungs??

I disagree , I lived in hornby for 4 years and had damaged cars , cars broken into and rocks thru my windows regularly ( was next to a school garden) Since I moved to linwood have had Nill problems in 6 years , and all the car theft seems to be in the northwest of the city. Remember theives generally dont steal in their own hood , cos the rich suburbs have better stuff. 8)

yup

Shannon iv got a fuel reg you can have for $50

Had my brother-in-law do this to a terrano we used to have , he had borrowed it for a few months and called up saying the brakes had shat themselves and it was at midas . picked it up to drive to a mates to fix and accidently used the foot brake , damn it made some noise , thought it was going to rip half the drivetrain out.

Had a search for prodrive and found this http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/blogs/drivetalk/1878062/Driver-education-time-for-some-carrot-instead-of-stick

IMO - restriction on what vehicles learners can drive combined with decent driver training will work. Im not perfect by any measure but do consider myself a reasonably good driver ,and attribute this to the fact that I learnt to drive in low powered cars ( escorts , datsuns , corollas ect. )and had a few crashes , learning from my mistakes. These days a learner driver can go out and buy a wrx/evo/skyline ect. and be in control of a vehicle far beyond their limits , and if they do crash there is usually no learning from it as usually the results are fatal. The other thing I did was a defensive driving course , not the crap classroom lesson to shorten the license period , but a course called Prodrive , this was held on an airstrip in crappy little starlets and taught things like controlling weight transfer in cornering , controling a slide and correct braking techniques - not sure if its still running bu was definatly a good thing. One thing I definatly reccomend is getting involved in club level motorsport , I recently did my first autocross and was amazed by the amount I learnt about car control in just one day , also alot of older car club guys have a wealth of knowledge they are happy to share.

Il give you $10 for the bar between the rear struts , if its removable?

Did this today - took all of half an hour , worst part was removing all the trim. Didnt fix the issues but eliminated 1 more thing

Heres part 1 http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovideos/252994/road_racers_group_test_part_1.html

Thought this was worthy of splitting from the video thread 9 car test by evo magazine Watch the whole thing for some quality honda bashing or skip to 5minutes for subby awesomeness ;D http://www.evo.co.uk/videos/planetevovideos/252997/road_racers_group_test_part_2.html

looks tidy , good service history and appears to have been looked after , at the end of the day buying any used subby is a risk but if you service them regularly and dont abuse it you should get a good run from it.

Thanks Tony , Have looked at the 4000WX and dont think ill fit in ( yes im rather big ) the corbeau is 90mm wider than the racetech and even with freight from the US is several hundred cheaper . Only thing is I cant find any reference to what standards they comply to. ........ more searching I guess

Anyone used these before or know who sells them in NZ?? Seem to be the only brand that make a seat wide enough for my fat ass.

AFAIK they are standard, just have the stickers removed.

Have got Direzza DZ101's on our legacy which seem good alround. Best tyres iv ever had were Silverstone FTZ sports - good in the wet and outstanding in the dry Worst would be Advan A008R's absolutly shocking in any conditions other than dry and at race temps.

Me at Leeston Autocross today 23/5/10

Yup im a fan of ferrymead , havnt had a hit for over a year tho. would be good to get out again.

Will the BG Fit GC with moding the mounting holes? Hope so cos I bought it .

CS had Jackets many moons ago , were very very warm.

Diff mount bushes - had this on our BH5 , replaced the bushes and all good.
