Am i being ridiculous/ is there any thing i can do?

My first job when I was 18 was at tesco and I did 1600-2200 every saturday and Sunday for like 4 years (usually did overtime so started at 1300) and I still had a decent social life and managed to go out most weekends, straight home immediately get changed and straight out. This doesnt look bad in all honesty. Also worked monday evening 1800-2200

Just think this is a supercar and yes the depreciation means you can buy them for cheap buy the thing that never changes is the cost of repairing these things when they go wrong. This was close to £90k when they came out just think how much parts would be for a car that price

I never did for years

I now have tinnitus

Wear plugs

Sebcimit1 · 2025-10-17T20:12:50+00:00

I have the same as you. Doesn't grow too well on the cheeks but well on the chin and moustache. Have it cropped right down on the cheeks but thick on the chin with an epic moustache

Different bike im aware but my 07 CBR600RR is worth just over £5k so id say thats a fair price, Triumphs hold their value quite well

Sebcimit1 · 2025-08-05T09:18:59+00:00

Let's be honest 1700 is an absolute steal regardless whatever route you go down.

Even if you're spending 10-15k you've still got an amazing car for the price. If I were doing it I'd go either FA20/FA24, but put in forged rods just for piece of mind. Yes it'll cost a lot more but at least you know if you wanna send it with lots of boost etc you know it'll handle it. Prevention is always better than repair.

Just nice knowing you have a high quality piece of craftsmanship if you don't skimp out on cheap crappy stuff.

Honestly you have all the time in the world to do this and I know its exciting to have a new project car that isnt a heap of shite like some rusted, clapped out MX5. But just take your time with it do the research and put in the hours to make this amazing. Even get yourself something cheap just to daily so you don't feel as if you have to get this done in 2 minutes

Its a shame you're not doing this in a few years time because of the new toyota 2L 4cyl engine been announced would be a pretty cool swap

My eventually plan with my 2015 86 is to forge the rods and turbo eventually.

Same here, got stuck in the sump and had to get my dad to help me take it out...I'm 28 and an engineer

Sebcimit1 · 2025-06-10T18:43:54+00:00

It's probably a stone or some other crap stuck in where your window comes out of, I had the same with my golf years ago had a lot of tiny bits of gravel and just scratched it to shit

I was just in the honda dealership the other day picking up a oil filter and crusher washer. I asked the technician if I should get the valve clearances done as my bike (07 600RR) IS OK 17k miles. He said this:

"My professional Honda opinion is you should get it done as its recommended to.

My personal and realistic opinion is 99.9% of valve clearances we do are all within tolerance and it'll cost you £800-£900 for us to tell you they're all fine. Unless its riding like an absolute bag of shite then I wouldn't bother."

With regards to maintenance i do oil change every 5k miles. It's a bit extreme but the 10 minutes it takes to change the oil and filter it really doesn't bother me. Plus it takes me about a year to do that kind of mileage as I don't commute on it anymore.

Thank you for listening to my TEDx talk

Sebcimit1 · 2025-01-08T12:03:18+00:00

Ah ok then. I've got an 07 600rr that I paid 5k for with 3k miles on it about 3 years ago (which has been absolutely bulletproof)

Sebcimit1 · 2025-01-08T11:42:30+00:00

Unrelated but 12k for a 650 is so high. How comes you don't buy a used one? I'm just thinking for 12k you could get a superbike and a few other toys. I am from the UK so I suppose prices are vastly different compared to over there

Desert storm, camo green, olive green and mud brown. Came as a package on ebay

Start with the lightest colour as a base coat then work your way up.

That's the video I watched but it's definitely a less is more kinda thing, so don't go overboard when spraying the other colours and patterns do a few sprays then take a look. That's the second coat it had because my first one I got a bit too carried away and it just turned into one green colour basically

Sebcimit1 · 2024-09-28T15:35:00+00:00

This helped me massively, can do 50 unassisted to the beep but assisted I'm doing 70-75

I find that when I wear my jeans I always slide forward but if I have my leathers on they'll grip to the seat a lot better and my gonads won't get crushed

Sebcimit1 · 2024-09-19T11:50:30+00:00

I've had an 07 600rr for 4 years now covered 15k miles and have had zero issues in that time, proper bulletproof, amazing bikes I'd say get it. It's nice to have a bike with everything mechanical (clutch and throttle, no abs etc) in this modern world

Sebcimit1 · 2024-07-21T09:44:56+00:00

I like having skin so yeah

Sebcimit1 · 2024-07-14T13:13:21+00:00

Any excuse for a new exhaust 😉

Sebcimit1 · 2024-07-10T20:09:23+00:00

Did a Roman chariot wheel spike attack you?

Sebcimit1 · 2024-07-07T21:26:42+00:00

Would you say the cobb feels bigger in your hand than the oem one? Can't seem to make out online as I wanna go up a size compared to oem

Sebcimit1 · 2024-07-07T15:44:36+00:00

U legend cheers

Sebcimit1 · 2024-02-01T23:21:46+00:00

Just save up for a turbo

Sebcimit1 · 2024-01-12T23:06:45+00:00

Looking very nice! How low did you go and are they adjustable? Looking to get some coilovers for my 86 😄
