    egr

    Ditto. But if all that other stuff is gone, you can ditch the EGR too. Removing it will throw a code though and you'll get a check engine light a couple minutes after starting it. That can be programmed out, or a ghetto fix can be done by making something to physically hold the EGR plunger down.

    My new ride does 10.68 in the 1/4. Any guesses?

    Funny, I was just asking myself that question on the way home today. I could convert it all back to stock and probably sell all the parts and car for around 10k. I'd use that to pay off the bike and then buy a new truck to tow the boat. It's definately something to think about... I have way...

    My new ride does 10.68 in the 1/4. Any guesses?

    Yeah, I think I liked the old 94-95 forum better. This talk section is worse than the lounge. I can't believe this thread degraded to a metro w/ spray topic... :notnice:

    Heh heh, 2005 Honda CBR 600RR. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

    My new ride does 10.68 in the 1/4. Any guesses?

    So I drove home my new toy today. As I said, it turns a 10.68 second 1/4 mile. I'll post pics tomorrow. Until then, who's got a guess as to what it is?

    Vortech Users-Sweet Oil Return

    There went that pretty cadmium coating. Are you planning on recoating it? Even if it's just from one of the fake cadmium in a can coatings?

    Slightly OT but a tech ?

    Dude, don't get a Vespa or scooter. It doesn't cost nearly that much to look like a homo, if that's the look you're going for. Seriously, if you're looking for a bike (as I have been for the past several months), look for a small cruiser or sport bike. Something in the 500 cc range would...

    Need good place to tap into dash lights

    Gauges ehh? You didn't slip a stroker under the hood when I wasn't paying attention, did you?

    suspension question?

    You could pull out the rear spring isolators for the cheap fix. You'd definately feel the road a bit more though.

    What's a good budget suspension??

    I wouldn't worry about the CC plates unless you need them. But they definately won't hurt you and make getting a good alignment 10x easier. If you feel like it, the X2 balljoints are a good idea but the bumpsteer kit really isn't needed at this point unless bumpsteer actually becomes a problem.

    New Bassani side exit is here

    Ummm, yeah, my car is probably the lowest one you'll find on SN while still being able to handle the corners (it's dropped about 2.5"). Screw the bling. I'll let any one of you tell me how to build my car if you can out drive me in the curvies. :D

    New Bassani side exit is here

    Depends on where you're standing. Imagine how loud it'll be to the civic driver who has his window down while sitting next to me. That's true. Typically, a loss of 1-2 hp can be expected. My concern isn't power though. It's getting the rear suspension finished up which wouldn't work with...

    New Bassani side exit is here

    My local race shop is a Bassani dealer, so I ordered them through them. And yes, I'm currently running a rear exit Bassani catback. Nope, they won't work with SFC's. I'm going to install a frame kit instead and notch the rails where the exhaust passes by. Final price was somewhere around...

    New Bassani side exit is here

    New parts came in for the GTS. I ended up getting the stainless steel Bassani side exit catback and another triax for the T56. Everyone has seen a triax so I won't bother with pics of it. Besides, I already installed it. But here are a few of the exhaust. The right side of the system...

    What's a good budget suspension??

    For a daily driver with virtually no planned track time, forget the adjustable shocks. 98% of your perceived ride quality is going to come from your decision on the shocks and struts. Don't cut corners here. Spend a little extra money now and I GUARANTEE you will not regret it. My damper of...

    Question about motor mounts...

    No, it just means that there's a lot of stress on them when you do that. If you romove the crossmember and just let the tranny fall, it'd probably tear the motor mounts completely out. That rubber just isn't srong enough to hold the entire motor in place with the tranny acting like a boat...
