Since retiring from bike racing. Decided to get back to the 4 wheelers again

New lid at my sprayers at the minute. Vibrant as usual 😆

Can I ask what lids you recommend?

I had a Schuberth which I loved, but bought an shoei lid, it’s noisey as f**k. I hate it! 😂

Hi mate,

I’ve always been an arai man. But I would suggest going to a shop and trying a load on and seeing which fits the best the top end of most top brands are usually good.

Oh and worth looking into a decent set of custom ear plugs.

For what my opinion is worth, spend as much as you can afford. For bike circuit stuff I use Rx7v. Race type lid might not be the best option for road stuff though, ofc.

Car stuff, again always used arai. Gp6 or now gp7

 

[Poopensharten]

Its good that its a full face lid, what with all the airborne puntang that’ll be flying at you at mach 4😂

 

[Advikaz]

Anyone know how these b******s come out?

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

From the other side or is there one on each side?

 

[Louis]

Knock the central tube out and pull them out?

You’ll need a small expanding puller to get that bearing out mate and a slide hammer!

 

[Advikaz]

Yeah it was seized mate. But thanks for confirming

 

[Advikaz]

One each side mate

 

[Advikaz]

Didn’t get much done today.

Spent an age pissing around with the PMS shifter trying to get the bearings out. Given up, and will probs just order new assembly.

The bearings in mine are all completely shagged. Not sure how long they’ve been in but they’re all seized solid.

Got the oil and filter done though at least. So one thing ticked off the list.
Second time changing the oil and filter on this car, I suspect the person who designed the filter location wasn’t someone who’ expected to ever have to change one…..

You running standard flywheel?

 

[Advikaz]

You running standard flywheel?

I am mate.

Considered the lightweight one, but decided to stay stock.

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

Lightweight flywheel is ok but the revs do drop quicker on the downchanges, so your rev-matching has to be on point to get smooth shifts.

Unless you're not arsed and just bang it down the gears 😂

Yeah exactly. Good in a race car. Not so good in a road car that does track imo.

That looks nice, but will probably melt or worse, set on fire. Designed for door trims.

I must have had 3 sets of original exhaust trims over 7 years of ownership. My biggest issue is the PMS exhaust tips expand, a lot, and melt them. It’s partly why I opted for 3” rolled tips over the 3.5” slash cut ones. The stuff I use is for commercial purposes and is designed to withstand heat. Popular on track/race cars.
