    Hayabusa insurance

    I'm with SF, 46 yrs old and live in east GTA. I have multi car discount and just got a wee strom for wife. I have full coverage with $500 deductible and pay $87 month (2003 Busa). I do have an older policy with an umbrella policy on top though.

    Choosing black paint - assistance please?

    Thanks. Mines the one to the rear. There's actually a pretty good following of the them in GTA. We were the "specialty" car invite at Autofest, Oshawa last year. Also had an informal get together in Whitby as well with 36 Buicks showing up (GN and T-types).

    Choosing black paint - assistance please?

    Off the top of my head the truest "black" (no flake etc.) would be from a Buick Grand National (1984-1987). It's straight up black. Both cars in pic have factory paint.

    Helmet Cams

    Just wondering if anyone has used and compared the "WASP" cam. They had a booth at the Megaspeed car show at International Center this weekend. Looks like a direct competitor to the GoPro. They had 3 levels of camera, the top option having a remote control watch with LCD display of camera. They...

    Want to build/renovate a proper garage

    The best piece of advice I read about the floor was, duct tape a small (12" x 12") piece of plastic wrap (saran) to the floor (seal athe 4 sides) and leave it for a week. If it collects condensation you shouldn't paint floor as it will lift the finish. On the walls, another thought, "drywall" is...

    Hayabusa?

    All depends on Insurance Company. My understanding is they list them differently. State Farm seems to be most "reasonable"....class all bikes based on displacement. I have 6 vehicles insured with them, 45 yrs old and M licence for 24 yrs. Located in GTA, 2003 Busa full coverage, $92 mos.

    Good luck or good management??

    Good to hear you're safe, and at least it was rubber and not "burnt toast".... These events get us back on track and out of complacency. Last thing I dodged (an airborne dump truck) got my scanning and eye lead back to the fore front.

    Jesus christ Nissan GT-R's are fast!!

    "Manual" (clutch) shift is definately "fun", but alas is outdated. If you can afford the cars at the top, and you want to be fast....."manu-matic" is way to go. If you look at the shift spec. times (milliseconds) and repeatability you can't beat the computer, it's matching engine RPM...
