What I did today...

Lovely lady.Loves a chat.I took a jacket in a few years ago and she only wanted 10 bucks for fixing it,gave her 50.
I'd only put a dollar in a meter round the corner (which gets you about 10 minutes)when i went in ,left an hour later.Lucky no ticket.
Has she moved from that tiny shop in the backstreets of Surry Hills?

Aren't they an All Wheel Drive car, the Evo?

Stock yes, this one no idea lol was far from stock!

[Carl-52]

You should see the modifications these things get. If it was a car from the world time attack series it'll be a full tubular space frame, massive aero features and 1000hp ish motor. Probably still all wheel drive but super light. The engineering behind those things is mental.

[Button699]

I was sharing a garage last year just before the time attack with the guy that one the amateur class.. Think he ran about a 1.27 or something on the gp... Was talking to his engineer guy there ... This old looking dude who turned out to b ex Mclaren aero engineer from the early 2000's.. Yes these things r heavily modified.. Driver sits in the middle... And about 2 foot further back as fire wall is moved back to make room for suspension etc etc etc etcetc etc etc etc!

[Carl-52]

its not the nemo car at least ahahhaa, nemo set the record a year or two ago. Still modified like crazy.

[Phat3R]

My local garage 100m up the road is Scott Bargwanna, he was doing Time Attack on WE. Today he's trying to un SNAFU spare wheel winder on LWB Vito. Small world.

Re V02 bridgestone:Running the front also?
Congrats on the PI time

[chubb]

Yeah Bridgerocks front and rear V02

[zooker]

Yeah Bridgerocks front and rear V02

I envy your tyre wear. I only hope I can get my V01 anywhere near that

[jaswib]

Yeah Bridgerocks front and rear V02

Love the rear have a front sitting there ready to go on what kind of pressures are you running on them and are they a step up from the Metzlers ? Thanks

Just switched myself,very happy with rear havn't pushed the front like sc1's yet
Good to know can't fault them myself

[chubb]

all in those bouncy bits setup for the way you ride

[Carl-52]

V02 front is amazeballs, same as v01 rear. the Bridgestone's have a stiffer sidewall than the Metzler so probably soften off your front settings. Can get them to wear sooooooooo nicely all the way down past the wear markers and they don't really drop off the grip that much.

28 cold front and 20 cold rear to start.. adjust to suit depending on temps...

[Marshy]

Too much motorsport on concurrently..... FX, MotoGP and V8 Supercars.
What to do? Watch them all!!

Paint time...
1/2 way there, number board, lower fairing black paint when the base coats hardens, then a few clear 2k coats and we are done
I hope the weather is kind over the next week

Looking great, Mark! Didn't know you did your helmets too.
How much prep is involved with that? They still get okayed at Scrutineering?

I have 2 one for practice days and one for race meets
That's how spectators can find me during races ;-) as long as it has it's Australian Standards sticker it's fine

[Marshy]

Awesome setup!! Looks fantastic Mark, very nice colour that yellow.

[Leezx10r]

It must be that time of year for diy bodywork repairs.

That yellow looks great Mark, top job.

Thought after three offs, 3m wrap, it was time for some "arts and crafts" fibreglass, filler & good old paint. Sorry about the quality of the pics, was late last night in my shed, but you get the idea.

[Marshy]

Now that looks TOPS, Lee!! Nice! And just quietly, it looks muuuuuuuch better than the wrap

[Turbo]

Yeah that looks fookin mint mate, great job!!

[chubb]

Looks great!

[Leezx10r]

Thanks guys! Yes the wrap was killing me, looked like nobody owned the bike.

The mrs told me to keep the wrap for a few more months as it looked more festive green than Kawasaki green (she loves to take the piss)

[Mstevo]

A bit more progress, but will need a few more days of drying before the clear coats and then the usual stickers get added

The old fairing needs a fair bit more work before it's ready for paint, it's going to be my track day fairing

the bottom half was untouched in the crash

Very tidy lines, Mark. Great work!!

[Leezx10r]

That's how my fairings ended up after my offs.

Great to see some builds / repairs being posted again.

[Marshy]

Finished prepping a couple of Beemers.....

One is sold, the other is for sale.

Pics can't really do them justice. These look fantastic in person, well done mate!

I've been spending some time on my exhaust today. It's been a little neglected since I dropped the bike on T3 a while back.
It ended up pretty squished, but as the bike is tuned to the full Ti Over Racing system, I didn't really want to swap it out.

The first recovery step was to jam the whole thing in a vice and slowly crank it up. Like a tyre going on a rim, a few POP's later and it was pretty well back to shape.
Next I drilled out the rivets holding on the end cap and rotated the end and internals round by 180 degrees.
Although the system was a limited edition run, for R6, I was able to track down a new metal emblem from Japan for $25.




After getting rid of the gravel rash with some emery paper and metal polish, I riveted it all back together and here it is:

[Turbo]

Don't ever make your bike too pretty!!
Ambition>Talent for me at T8 yesterday, lost the front and had a lowside on a hot and greasy track.
I'm fine and the bike doesn't need much, just a new peg, bar and some fairing repairs.
