The amazing Boy Racer Poll!

[Devil]

It doesn't have to be expensive. You just need to make some friends in the industry... and $290 tyres?? Why do you need such flash tyres?? Gonna do 300kmph??

Uhhh, have you not tried good tyres before? $260 per tyre was about my personal limit, for that amount could get a set of Goodyear GS-D3's when they first came out (cheaper now). Awesome awesome tyre, especially in the wet.

I dont know why people compromise their safety with cheap tyres. You dont have to be hooning at all to reap the benefits.

JSG, dont tell me you drive around on shitters?

[Devil]

I appreciate good tires. Goodyear GSD-03 Eagle F1's or Dunlop Direzza.

Had gs-d3's, now direzza's. gs-d3's win!
As an example of grip difference, had direzza on the front and gs-d3 on the back, major understeer!
Definately going back to gs-d3's.

Necromancy again!

Reminds me of a Silvia in last week - in poor Inglish the Aisian driver asks if he can pass a WoF...I say I don't know if he can pass a WoF,but he can pay me some money to see if his car can pass the test...he's kinda stumped on this as he wants to pass a WoF you see....and he doesn't want to pay any money if he doesn't pass.We overcome that hurdle so I give it the test - it's not too bad,but I suspect it's been ''raised'' for today,I just make a note about non standard wheels and tyres (17in) and exhaust (not very noisy) - but his 2 front tyres,which have 7mm on the outside have the steelbelts showing on the inside (a sure sign low is it's natural state) and the right rear is bald (heh,heh,nudge nudge,wink wink)

He's really upset of course and thinks I'm being a bit harsh - he wants to pass a WoF,not have to spend any money!! He was back yesterday with 3 new tyres - oh,very,very expensive,you have cost me a lot of money....I feel very guilty about this - do you think I should offer to pay for his tyres? because if I hadn't failed him on them he wouldn't of had to pay out all that money???

I don't do WoFs on real Boi Racer cars - I'm always too busy that day...

Much easier to break traction in a sustained manner on shit tyres surely...?

Tsk, Mr Motu. You have clearly failed to grasp either the nuances of the language or modern economics.

As it is , you have gained maybe $35 for the WOF test . Mr Asian has paid lots and lots of money for new tyres, quite unnecessarily.

If you had done this properly and passed the WOF you would have scored $400, Mr Asian would have only had to pay $400 and everybody would have been happy.

EDIT. And you wouldn't have had to spend your time actually testing the car. Savings all round

Ah, corruption rears its ugly head ......again!!!,

Now,wheres my cheque book , Ive got a couple of vehicles that need "reregistering"

I want one too!

Being in the profession of carting what's left of these boy racers to hospital when they've wasted themselves, their passengers or innocent bystanders, I have to say that every time one screams past me, it gives me the shits bigtime. Oh, and most of them seem to be arrogent little pusheads.

I take my hat off to you there 'Riff Raff' doing a job like that.
Picking up the mess after these idiots have got out of control must be annoying.

[zadok]

A lot of the boy racers especially in the flashier cars are Chinese, South Korean, Hong Kong, Singaporean, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, etc, etc.

Had a few friends/aquaintances in uni. They get like 3-4000 dollars a month pocket money. Things like rent and bills go straight from their dads accounts into their landlords account. The 3-4000 is only for them to play with. I kid you not. A lot of these guys are filthy rich.

And as for the guys who get it on HP - I wonder how the hell they afford it. Cos you need to have a certain income before finance companies will lend you a certain amount.

From my obrservations here in W.A (the news & what I see and hear), it seems that there a lot of Asian boy racers.
One a few months ago killed his cousin during one of his exploits and scarpered back home as quickly as he could. I think he is being extradited to face charges.

Understand completely about your nice car, I was in the same boat too.... then I sold the thing........ bikes it is now - until another 3 months then...should have the next project complete... and no I'm not telling any of you what it is..........

So do you use Nitto Slippo tyres from the $2 shop on your bike?

[Beemer]

I hate boy racers as a general breed, although I can appreciate the work that has gone into some of their vehicles. The ones I hate are the lowered suspension cars with stupid slogans written all over the windows (usually derogatory to women), driven by what looks like a 14 year-old dwarf with acne and a backwards cap! Some even go the extra distance and pull their hoodie up over their cap so they look even more moronic. They get into turning lanes and then floor it and go straight ahead, usually cutting off anyone in the correct lane.

But the thing I hate the most is their music! We used to live in town and our street was favoured by the boy racers as it was an L-shaped street that connected to two main roads - and the corner was great for sliding around. You'd either be kept awake by their stereos booming or woken up as they slid around the corner. I usually find that the louder the stereo, the worse the driver's taste in music! Not that you could really call it music anyway, all you hear is the booming of the bass.

We live in the country now and thankfully in a no-exit road, so we rarely get them down here - too many people to come out and throw things at them if they have to drive past on their way out! But they do burnouts on the road ours leads to, making me SO glad we didn't buy the house that was for sale just near the intersection!

I can admire the paint jobs on some vehicles and the modifications if they are done well, but most of the vehicles are just wank-mobiles, driven by guys who are too sad to pull chicks any other way!

Dr Bob, you can download one of those driver reports from the net - someone posted a link to it the other day but I can't remember what post it was in. And Spudchucker, please move to Levin and rid us of these tossers!

[FEINT]

Had gs-d3's, now direzza's. gs-d3's win!
As an example of grip difference, had direzza on the front and gs-d3 on the back, major understeer!
Definately going back to gs-d3's.

That is what I would recommend too. GSD-03's are the best if you ask me. If you want tires, go and see Martin at Frank Allen Tires in Browns Bay and tell him Ming sent you. I used to go through heaps of tires.

[cheetor]

Well my reply is very simple. I ahve never been cut off by a boyracer, never had a boyracer change lanes into me, infact, no boyracer has ever done me wrong on the road, Other drivers however..... Now I dont want to sound ageist sexist or racist
but Old men, Women, and asians! FUCK they're dangerous, well not all of the,,. but a higher than average

On the name of boyracers, on my ZXR250, with a pillion I outdragged a RS legacy a GTR(Yeah right, don't badge your car with what you dont have) Skyline and a Toyta Altezza, all with a pillion :P
