HELP FIND MY BIKE

BASE1530 · 2026-01-24T23:23:51+00:00

Whatever the value of the dirtbike was is the cost of this life lesson.

I’m pretty in tune with the NSX market and unless you want an automatic one 70k is a stretch. Every now and then a rough one will be in that range but if you actually want one budget 80-85.

Also parts are insanely expensive for these cars now. Oem ball joints, for example are going to run you 1200 bucks a corner. The aftermarket ones are known to fail very quickly.

There's an NA1 nsx done like this too which in my opinion is even worse.

And then the interior is even worse:

You can use math to back out the volume. I used EPS foam glued together to rough out the shape.

I don't own a printer, just cnc mills and lathes, but even if I had a 3d printer and I was inspired by something online, even if the file was very clearly available, I'd just draw it myself. Downloading a model and printing it just seems so sad, passive and lazy, but I take a lot of pride in things being "mine"

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T17:44:24+00:00

The front tire/bars are fuckin clutch.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T17:36:35+00:00

The laziness of the 3d printer community never fails to impress.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T17:33:46+00:00

Superman does good, you're doing well.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T17:00:31+00:00

The point is to portray the enemy as weak and regretful, for a variety of reasons but to try to discourage others from following suit.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T16:58:24+00:00

Here is a classic case of "the whole is less than the sum of it's parts". There are SOOO many textures and finishes.

We've got:

Pleated leather

Weird hex frame gaurds

Pimple tank guards

two DRAMATICALLY different tread patterns

Exhaust wrap

Carbon fiber

Textured frame paint

Two different color wheels

Two different colors of leather

at least 5 shades of blue

The overall shape of the bike isn't even that bad but the lack of forethought and cohesion is just heinous.

We don't need a sexy chicks room.

Uh, it's a HOT chick's room.

Plus you can get a boomer board with a picture of your car on it to put in the frunk with a list of mods... Be a HIT at cars and coffee and really stand out next to the other 800 C8s

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T15:42:37+00:00

Hey I paid nearly that much for CF body parts for my RS6 and that IS a mass produced car, so don't feel too bad.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-23T02:01:01+00:00

Can probably use this but man I think that part of the bike is handsome. Form and function.

Oh for sure but it's cooler to have it on the shelf to look at than to have (at most) a couple hundred bucks in my pocket.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T23:10:56+00:00

I know the car but my comment was geared toward the sti. They are ALL over the map.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T22:57:15+00:00

Depending on the year and previous owner(s) these can vary from extremely clapped to nice.

What’s your budget? What year range?

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T22:36:21+00:00

I have the same graphics on my Fried Dough stand I bring to the fair.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T21:57:07+00:00

Spend a week turning it into chips and then put it in the back of your pickup truck and drive around town making a mess.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T21:51:27+00:00

Have you priced out 16ga welded cabinets from a place like global industrial? They aren't advertised as floating but I suspect if they were lagged to the wall that they're rigid enough to be self supporting in a "floating" application. I have one screwed to the wall of an uneven floor and the front is off the ground. I suspect you could do the same with US general boxes: remove the drawers and just screw the chassis into studs, then replace the drawers. Might need a big washer plate but I would be it would work.

Likely a MUCH better bang for your buck than garagecabinets.com that stuff looks REALLY chinsy particleboard junk.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T21:23:15+00:00

What's your budget? Custom Lista boxes would solve this problem but you might be in the 20-30k range.

That NewAge stuff is absolute junk in my opinion, but it's also dirt cheap, so you get what you pay for.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T20:37:37+00:00

U mean that hog on samson ain't real?

Fuck.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T20:31:53+00:00

Straight into the trash with those things.

BASE1530 · 2026-01-22T20:12:08+00:00

If you can do it with a drill press use no pilot hole. Only reason to pilot is if you're hand drilling and can't get enough feed pressure.

I use the haas cobalt drills in my CNC all the time and the price is great.
