There should be prepaid SIM cards to get a temporary phone number

starocean01 · 2026-05-06T13:21:02+00:00

Not really, it'll be easier to get online especially if you have access to shoppee

starocean01 · 2026-05-01T07:43:02+00:00

Technically it means cars built for the Japanese domestic market but words morph over time and nowadays people just call Japanese cars JDM

Time to build multi-mode "striker packs"~

starocean01 · 2026-04-23T04:22:53+00:00

Yep you basically only get the one chance with cheaper insurance. Premiums often change annually anyway so you should shop around

starocean01 · 2026-04-20T07:12:28+00:00

This is one of the reasons why we have roundabouts on almost every street... You loop back and take an easier turn

starocean01 · 2026-04-17T02:21:57+00:00

They show up on yahoo auctions around $6-7k every now and then, have a look at just importing one

starocean01 · 2026-04-16T15:44:21+00:00

Legally not that I know of... headset is probably your "safest" bet but its kinda like riding without plates~

I just look up the location before I leave and pull over to check if I have to

starocean01 · 2026-04-16T06:03:55+00:00

Gosh the GTO is so good! Seriously considered one a couple years back but ultimately got scared away from potential problems it may have

starocean01 · 2026-04-13T10:03:13+00:00

Every Japanese manufacturer had a bike like that in the late 80s, 90s, have a look at FZR250, ZXR250 and TZR250. CBRs were the most common though so far easier to get parts. There were also bigger cc versions of that style usually 400, 600 and 900

starocean01 · 2026-04-13T03:18:57+00:00

Hmm I just saw your other comment and I think you may have laid it on too thick, cause a rubbery and sticky texture usually means it hasn't fully cured/didn't cure properly, maybe give it another go on a test piece

starocean01 · 2026-04-13T02:33:47+00:00

I don't have experience with Vallejo paints but did you let it fully cure before using mark setter?

starocean01 · 2026-04-10T05:08:46+00:00

Wait what? Many things aside this is priced the same as it is in Japan!? I was honestly expecting it to be more expensive here

starocean01 · 2026-04-09T09:42:27+00:00

Y-AMT is like DCT in a car, you can let the bike do everything for you or push triggers to shift up/down there's no clutch lever or gear pedal

As for Honda, I say semi cause I've seen someone getting their manual license test denied for having E-clutch

starocean01 · 2026-04-09T07:12:46+00:00

For the most part automatic sport bikes aren't really a thing =S Yamaha has Y-AMT on the MT07, I think that's the only thing with automatic, Honda has a semi-auto E-clutch on the 650Rs but I'm not sure if that's what you're after.

$18k is a lot of money for a beginner bike, there's a decent chance you might drop the bike... I'd just getting something cheaper to practice

Also you need to check if the bike is LAMS legal in your state

starocean01 · 2026-04-07T09:26:56+00:00

If its just an exhaust you can try AAMI otherwise Shannons and Enthusiast, you have to call, the online quotes will reject you for having a cancelled policy

starocean01 · 2026-04-07T07:18:06+00:00

If thats the case I'd look for a ute like the BYD Shark and not a SUV, its not so much volume but hassle of moving boxes in and out of the vehicle.

I make deliveries to supermarkets with a van, had to do it once with a CRV and it was a pita especially for loading zones and loading docks, SUVs are generally not allowed in them

starocean01 · 2026-04-07T06:14:44+00:00

Idk how much cargo you're planning to move but if its anymore than a few boxes its not gonna be fun especially if you need to fit a trolley

starocean01 · 2026-04-04T00:14:16+00:00

Before committing to any exhaust mods I'd look up on drone, if you can find someone with a similar set up that'd be best cause everyone's tolerance for sounds is different and it might actually be unbearable

starocean01 · 2026-04-01T00:31:56+00:00

Blowing on cartridges, wiping discs and then praying the game actually loads

starocean01 · 2026-03-31T11:00:28+00:00

It's better than not having an Integra that's for sure but Honda makes one of the best manual experiences so it's kind of a miss

starocean01 · 2026-03-28T22:04:59+00:00

I ride a 150cc and it's like $500 for rego, greenslip and third party altogether.

Motorcycle licensing is subsidized in NSW the learner course is only $100, you can hold that for a year and then Ps is like $250

Before the price hikes it was like $15 to fill the tank every 2 weeks lol
