XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 2m 23d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 16/10/13 05:29 AM Share Posted 16/10/13 05:29 AM No mate, I just spoke to them over the phone.I just clarified this with Motorplex again and have been informed that the AS/NZS1698 sticker on the outside of helmet forms the accepted display for AS/NZS1698:2006.If I can get out of work by 4:30 I'll swing past, grab a helmet and see you all down there.

Posted 16/10/13 05:36 AM Share Posted 16/10/13 05:36 AM turboboink - I feel your frustration. sh*t like this always happens before an event. had something similar before MV couple years ago. Good thing get it now, could be worse while driving! My luck was pretty unforunate, had new tyre fitted at a tyre shop, drove away at night. tyre deflated. took off, put a borrowed rim from a mate that could clear the brembos. took the tyre back to the shop following day. seems like I had a crack in the Tyre beed, said shop did not warranty it. went else ware and got a tyre fitted that I had laying around. Tyre then developed an egg T_T fun timesIn regards to the farting, Yeah it can get annoying! I know I had this early on with mine, just asked Simon and he just updated my tune, I flashed the new tune on and it worked a treat after it was done! However I do recall him saying something along the lines it does provide somewhat level of safety but don't quote me on this was in 2008 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the car to put a smile on my face. The power is definitely there, the powerband in 3rd scares me, just getting to it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you're a repeat offender they will crack down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for sub $100 price tag like I see on ebay but not to be at short notice...got the $150 one.
