Going fast isn't really exciting to me, it's more about weaving through corners. Or if you're lucky to have a decent RWD car - weaving through corners sideways :D

I really want a JZX100 Chaser or GTST R32 for my next car because of that.


Also, got a full stainless steel exhaust. Hopefully with an intake and tune I should be pushing ~170wkw (228whp). Thank God for a stock LSD :D

What language are you speaking??
Why doesn't Google Translate work??

Seriously though.... What is a "LSD"
Is it lysergic acid diethylamide?

Guessing it's a "Locking -something- differential"?

Yeah limited slip differential. Basically limits how much 1 wheel can slip compared to the other. Very crucial in FWD cars when you start getting some decent power and actually want to take off from a standing start without tons of wheel slip on 1 wheel.

An LSD is also very crucial for drifting cars.

And they're bloody expensive if your car doesn't have one from factory. Like 30k worth.

Anyway, I should really try to see if I can get a decent sound recording. New exhaust isn't obnoxiously loud. Was mainly done for performance and because the old one was rusted through. It's too addicting modding cars... and too expensive :D

You know what bothers me most about the first pic of the Honda that Fluke posted... That the door is open against that Golf 5 standing there X.X

I slowly opened the door into that car, I wouldn't do it on any other car. Mainly because 1) it's our own car too and 2) these plastic things are amazing for stopping scratches and dents in doors. I know I have tons on my car already because people are utter careless morons where I work.

Sure, there was ambiguity, but there was also reason and context.

He admits ambiguity! The court finds in favor of the Fox.

Back to cars. Self driving cars need to become a thing. Old people are dangerous!

As a motorcyclists, self driving cars worry me.

Because, in a world were no one drives, motorcycles on public streets might end up being banned.
And there is no way in hell that I'm sitting on a self driving crotch rocket.

Went to a dynoday. Got to see what the exhaust system changes made. Nothing big at all, but it's pretty decent. But big changes will come from a reflash.

Next is reflash, intake and RRC intake manifold :D

We should hang out and talk about this stuff. I've been thinking of taking my Gixxer to Superbike Solutions for ages now.
