Group Buy - 1M MotoGP lip for Australia

JB4-335 · 08-20-2012, 09:58 PM

I put a lip on my lip. Not only does it disguise the already scrapped section but if it does scrap the lip will remain intact and I'll just slip the rubber back on.

It's just flexible rubber in a U shape from Clark Rubber. It actually looks OK IMO.

looks oem, if you hadn't told me i'd have thought it was meant to come that way. In fact it probably should have....

Nobody noticed it at the Sunday meet so it must look OEM.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to include a removable rubber insert for this particular lip. I did some hard runs last night up to 170kph while logging and it didn't budge (on a private road that is).

I can also now reverse out of your driveway without worrying about scrapping the shit out of it.

Looks good, I'm going to look into that.

If you're lowered and add a lip you just need to adjust the way you drive and you'll never scrape once you start paying attention.

Joe you mentioned that you scraped before lowering, perhaps because you took ride height for granted, but now that you're lowered and paying extra care I'm guessing you haven't scraped?

Exactly.... BUT..Since lowering, I can't enter my mums driveway nor my carspace at work, no matter how many angles I try to enter from..

So its not a matter of being more careful for me whilst I am driving, which I am, It just limits my accessability to certain places.

+1 My car is pretty low, I am well aware of driveways not to go up/down. The biggest hurdle I have to deal with is shopping centre carparks (the concrete bump at the end of each park), i have to ensure I dont drive too far in or instead reverse in.

How steep is the driveway??! Worst case scenario just park elsewhere and enjoy a hot looking car

Yeh those things are a killer! I'm pretty good at judging them now but originally I was parked a decent half meter away from the concrete kerb lol. Lucky our 1ers are relatively short.

Ha.. You are a born Salesman Stu.

Not that steep..But I have scraped entering before I lowered the M.

Don't under estimate the snout on the 1M..

And all that know me would attest, that I am one of the most anal on the forum, when it comes to my cars.. So why put limitations where you can park your car..

Don't get me wrong Stu.. The front lip was the next cosmetic mod on my list.

The MotoGp lip that Sverma is organising is the bomb..

Just not for Zuzette..

Second mod will be mid pipes.. I just love the deep rumble and gurgle my vert has.

Still not sold on any of the available tunes ATM.. Although I must say, after driving " Salt " on the weekend, I was very very impressed.. EAC tune ??

Zuzette with 265Kw ATW, with some bolt ons is still no slouch..

Haha, that is still me, parked no where near the front of the bay after I scraped it a few times.

Not just yet! I've got plenty of little mods to keep me busy for now.

Yeah, it's not just the numbers that tell you how well a car does or doesn't drive. I've got my first shipment of evolve tunes ready to go, but more on that on a separate thread.

Moby (my car) will be getting the evolve stage 2 treatment once break in service is done. There's a heap of reviews and comparisons (all favourable to evolve from what I've seen), but the real proof will be in my pudding

Ok - I've officially high jacked my own thread. We still need 1 more to get this group buy on the road. I cant believe there 200+ 1Ms here and only 4 lip orders...

Just a thought, go to Jaffa's '1M Register' post and send out a bunch off PM's asking if anyone is interested. Some may not be on here too often and would get an email telling them they have a message and they may reply

I already got my first scrape tonight reversing out of my driveway.

Hate to think what will happen to the lip if I install one.
