It took me some hell lot of patience, and mrs' thinner hands to put those 4 bolts connecting the subframe and the front bar. Its a pain when you can't lift your car to get underneath.

Re: DIY/Alcoholic Beverage Day 8th July
That's the awesomeness...isn't it? I have held a full open motorbike license for the last 13 years...and never bothered to learn how to drive a car till December last year....was simply never interested in cars. Only QLD has the stupid laws of having a full/P car license before applying for a motorbike...not with VictoriaConnor_1994 wrote:buy a jack? lol

So...I know sh*t about cars..don't even know how to use a jack .I did learn some stuff by reading DIY guides here though. But I can tune/re-jet your motorbike carbs etc in no time Also, having a nice slope on the drive way doesn't help in using jacks I've heard.

Re: DIY/Alcoholic Beverage Day 8th July
if it's crashed, you have the perfect excuse to convert it into a street fighter I had a '96 ZX6R which I used around the tracks in Melb. Eventually removed all the fairings and converted it into a nice street fighter. Lesser weight = easier wheelies
Yamaha will charge a sh*t load of money for the original fairings. You will get the aftermarket ones way cheaper.
Now, getting old, so no more track days...no more wheelies...just long distance touring

I think the Spit would have to be the most boring of places to take a picture of a car, everyones been there everyones taken pics there.
haha sahin my pictures are shithouse, i think ill just try and work on getting the Gopro footage up, but I've got my car back now and I sorta wanna be working on that.
I don't even know if i can work on Phi's i've sorta got my own car to fix at the moment.
