phoenix44 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 the ~600K lambo LP640 cannot shake a ~25K ducati around the track (watch that episode of top gear its awesome). Id rather have the car- but you do not know the thrill of a bike until you have ridden a real bike. ridden bikes for a majority of my life, love them to bits but id rather have an awesome car even thought they cost a lot more.

David R Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well I showed my oldest Boy how it's done a few weeks back He kept on nagging me "Come on Mum you haven't taken me new car out for a spin yet" well, I thought now's my chance to have a go, so I took his Skyline GTR out for a spin, with my son in the passengers seat of course, Driftered it round the corner, had the old wheels spinning for awhile lol well the look on my Son's Face was just priceless All I said to him was "Dont under estimate your Mother" Nice one, no wonder the general public hate anyone driving a modified japanese car. :roll: :evil: Hans you got any lap times for the day?

HaNs Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hans you got any lap times for the day? We are doing some timing on Friday, cant find any of my old time's though. Should be heaps of video footage from the day also. Im going to build a 300hp 1.8t screamer in the next few years, goal is 850-900kgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_r Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Im going to build a 300hp 1.8t screamer in the next few years, goal is 850-900kgs will be very impressive thats what i would like to have, already under 900kg with all accessories and interior etc, however 300 hp is a bit of an ask from a 1300 motor almost 20 years old (is doable tho) just dont think its worth the cost, ill be happy with 200-250 horse at wheels from my setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big turbo + injectors + rods + ecu work is all that's needed. The engines can do double that. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll27 ... 0020-3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morcs Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 are you on kiwibiker? my brother has an r6 (black&red) (he has written off 1 or 2 so far i think on the tracks) he is on the north shore - keeps cribbing about some evil anti biker cop. Ah yes, warkworths finest. a Mr Sgt Chris Walker. Im his favourite customer. Hes made me walk about 4 times now... Im Morcs on KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Id rather die in a nice car than sliding along the road to my death thanks Sliding on your butt at 150 or so is actually not to bad, on the track anyway. As long as you dont actually hit anything its fine... at lower speeds It can be fun... until you look over and see ya bike sliding along with you! Anyways, any of you guys do drags?

David R Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I find it greatly amusing that youd have to spend at least 50k on a car to be close to a 10k bike hehe I don't get it, no matter how much you spend on a bike you won't be able to thrash it at the track on sunday, pick up the groceries on the way home, and then drive it to work on a rainy monday morning with out getting wet.

I can and I do Though I dont do the grocery shopping by bike anymore, but easily got good storage with the right luggage. Im probably dryer when I get to work than people who park in teh carpark outside work and have to run into the building hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Might head on up to Taupo with Hayden if he's racing that weekend. Would be gret to meet some of you guys He's busy working on his car once again, getting it ready to race at Manfield on the 5th July, he smacked it up last time he raced at Pukekohe, did 4 Laps then lost it, smacked into the Wall. :roll: He's done pretty well really, raced 16 races and only lost it Once Cars had a new Paint Job too Paul R: He was in PC Mag no: 127 July 2007 Always have a couple of spare PC Mags floating around to show Friends and Family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
