haha well its not just a normal civic, its a '80s civic WAGON. seriously who has ever seen one of those done up. like that video where a early '90s dodge caravan blows a camaro ss out of the water in a drag race
 
Hey, I got that archived on one of my CDs!

I got a better one though, there is one where a Dodge Aries blows away a Toyota Supra. Both were wickedly tuned, but that Aries was a sleeper if there ever was one!
 
yeah that would be so cool to see the guys face whos driving the supra!

once my cars finished being put together and if its at least somewhat fast i want to get this shirt that says Honda Eater with a big pac man tye guy on it. what do you guys think? yes or no, would it be cheezy
 
I am actually about to buy a car. My first. And I've had my eye on the following

'87-91 BMW 325iS. (E30). -- They get cheaper especially with the current fuel climate. German engineering and performance.
'84-88 Nissan 300 ZX Turbo. (Z31) -- Quite cheap and a true sports car. A "Z" car as in a true sports car. Plus there are so many mods you can do. The Z32 non turbo version shares the same engine with a nissan maxima which is pretty cool. Aiming for a Z31 though.

Or I can just stick to a motorbike :P

I used to ride a CB250 for a short short short period of time which was an absolute dick of a bike. I am not bulky so I wanted to save for an NSR 150 SP.
 
yeah im hoping to buy a motorcycle sometime in the not too distant future. but i cant until im moved out :grumpy: but im hoping for something like a yamaha r1, maybe too much power for a beginner but im not one for taking baby steps to learning things

I wouldn't get a really fast bike especially if you are a beginner. Cause if you drop it you will cry and it's a lot of power. I am strong but I don't like big bikes. I don't mind crouching on a sports bike but the heavier it is the more effort I need to move it. Australia restricts learners to sport 250cc and I think England restricts learners to 125cc.

I used to think the idea was stupid but now I kind of agree with it. I had a hand me down bike for a bit and well it was **** so I didn't mind treating it like ****.
 
I drive an '87 Nissan Silvia in real life ...

Maybe that's why everyone is so suprised that I drive the Silvia so well in GT2 ...

i see what you mean, but i havnt seen any bikes that arent fast around here. the shop we have has only those little kid (like 50cc) bikes, dirtbikes, and then anything 600cc and up lol
 
Really. A lot of the 150cc bikes are Thai bikes and made cheaply yet provide great performance and value.

Honda NSR 150 SP (discontinued)
Honda CBR 150 (new model)

Not sure if these are current but:
Kawasaki KRR 150
Suzuki RGV 150
Yamaha TZR 150
 
...polish product, my WSK 175 Kobuz '81 ...15HP/ 105km/h 4-gear, I baught it for only 30$, but very long time I was repairing that moto...





...before I had a Jawa 50 type 23 MUSTANG '82 ...4HP/ 75km/h 3-gear, I had a collision with that "truck" also polish...

...and that is my Jawa after collision:)

I think you can get a ZZR6 or ZXR6 if you want a sports bike but the pic you can't get out of your mind seems nice.
Click to expand...
Yes, and i like it also because it seems to be a bike easy to drive (good for newbie riders like me), unlike the ZXR6.
It's a new model for 2006, so i'll have to wait some time...
 
Don't they have old zzr250s there though. Try learning on that because then if you trash it or throw it down the road you won't feel so bad.

There's no new zzr250s or ninjas 250 on sale here... and old ones are very hard to find. Never was a popular model in here, maybe because they used to be sold at about the same price as the gpz500...

I've took my driving license on a Suzuki GN250, never liked that bike 👎 , and would like to have a small sport bike now, but the smalest on sale are bikes like gs500f, gpz500, and that new one on the pic that will come for 2006, the er-6f. I think they're all at same level, but the er-6f looks much better :D
 
You know, I never got the idea of giving a bunch of seemingly random letters to a motorbike as a name. Can't they name it something speedy without sounding like an army vehicle serial number?

Jeremy Clarkson onced ranted about motos on Top Gear (like he always does) and refers to one as the "PQRSZ-TT"...

Well I know that all major bike manufacturers don't give them names. Maybe the letters stand for something but I am not entirely sure. Peugeot has some numbering system for their cars. Maybe it works in a similar way.

Honda - CBR
Kawasaki - ZXR
Suzuki - GSX
Yamaha - YZR

^ Those are current flagship bike models, I think.

Yes they can. Some examples:
Suzuki Hayabusa; Honda Fireblade; Ducati Monster; Triumph Tiger; Suzuki Intruder; Yamaha Virago; Honda Goldwing; Katana models from Suzuki; Ninjas from Kawasaki, etc...

But yes, you're right, most of them are just letters and numbers...
I know at least some letters have their meaning, like R for racing models, RR for more radical racing models, TT for TT races models. Others i have no idea... :P
 
Another code for RR is racing replica. My friend has a RR bikes (CBR 250 RR) and it's full racing gears, revs to 18000 RPM before rev limiter kicks in.

that must sound pretty sweet
Click to expand...
Vreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... :P

Personally i prefer "Vroooooooooooooooooo..." from big V-Twins, like Honda VTR1000 (VTR=V-Twin Racing????)

But 18000rpms... should give a nice race feeling... :rolleyes:
 
No 18000 rpm isn't good and the bike is learner legal. You often see a CBR 250 RR was scratched fairings etc and it's heart breaking :(

Plus it wears the tyres a lot more than a normal bike. Honda offers actual racing bikes, as in circuit racing bikes not street legal bikes. I'll post a pic in a bit.
 
this is lame im not allowed to have a motorcycle till i move out (ill be 18 in less then 2 months now) and my 12 and 13 yr old brothers might be getting atv's for x-mas.. :grumpy: sorry dont mean to whine

Please don't ignore this advice but buy the best helmet you can get your hands on. If you have a 10 dollar head get a 10 dollar helmet. I am guessing you're worth a lot more than 10 dollars so try and find a good helmet. Once you stack THROW THE HELMET AWAY. IF YOU HIT THE HELMET IT'S USELESS. The foam compacts and next time you hit you are offered less protection than before. Get some good leathers, sturdy leathers. And don't buy a heavy bike, buy something that's fun and teaches how to move and lean.

Sorry to break the continuity, but here is what my Honda Civic sounds like, STOCK!

http://forum.rscnet.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=320192&d=1129407546

Pretty slow, huh?

It opens in Windows Media Player. I closed it fearing it was a virus. Civics are actually nice cars to drive. Cheap, economical and if you put the Honda K20 engine in it it makes it sporty. I think the K20 engine is the one in the Type R Integra and Civic.

Plus you can get kits as well. You can turn it into a nice hot hatch. There's one hatch I really really want and I believe you can mod it legally to 500+ HP. Anyone wanna guess which hatch I am talking about.
