@Steel1 Thanks man! My first Buell resulted in a crash too hah. I’ve wised up since then.
@Boostedpimp i bet that thing is a handful, I couldn’t imagine.
@95BlueStallion that’s one sick bolt nick. I’ve always loved that color scheme. 07-08 right?

Wow I haven’t been on the site for a while. I had a busy year but managed to pretty much just drive the car all season. Im not sure I did anything mechanical at all. I will admit, I did drive it less than normal because I was riding my motorcycle. I have a few parts to install this winter, I’ll keep this thread updated. Here’s a pic from this summer,
Well
Winter mod plans:
- Redo the battery relocation done by PO.
- Maybe a mini starter to eliminate starter solenoid and further clean up wiring.
- Bilstein struts
- MM clutch cable kit
- Exterior door handles I've been putting off because I don't want to remove my door panels lol
-Spare tire cover. Mine sags so bad because of the lack of spare tire. Will likely make one out of wood?
Still gathering these parts.. I have most but some are still in transit. I may install my Breeze Automotive left side alternator bracket while I'm at it. Undecided because this won't be necessary until the future when a vortech is installed (still eventual goal).
In other news, I will be building a new garage in the near future. Likely detached, unsure of size; thinking 24x24 to 32x32. I know 24x24 isn't exactly big enough but I already have 16x24 attached that I will be keeping. Playing it by ear and watching building material prices...

Go as large on the garage as you can...I had a pretty good sized two-car garage, then knocked the back wall out and doubled its length. It's still too small.

I plan to. But the cost to build, even a garage, up here in Maine is crazy currently. So that will limit me, not to mention I don't really want to pay 40% too much just to have it now. I am working on getting quotes however.
Tonight I did something I've been meaning to do for a long time; replaced my sad, saggy spare tire cover with 1/2" plywood. I also started making my battery cables. I am thinking about just keeping the battery on the left side for simplicity sake. I know that it's best to put on the right side but it looks like a massive pain in the ass to put over there (not level, fuel tank and filler, no space, etc.). Any advice on this?
Also, I noticed this my BBK camber plates are starting to fail. The rubber is dryrotting. I am going to order a new set that are suited for coilovers. I've been thinking about switching to them someday.
