Book's vehicles thread: Now with Two Different Wheels-Post 339

[Joey D]

Sparco Asseto Gara's in bright green for your summer rims...and go!

I'll have to head down that way when the weather gets warmer since I live on the other side of the state now. We can shoot some pictures or something.

Black car with green wheels? What am I, Ken Block?

I know I said this a while ago, but I'm actually kind of starting to consider it a bit.

And I'd be down with that without a problem. Speaking of you moving, what's up with The Pistachio?

The Neon had so much mad torque it destroyed the flywheel during our first race and we broke down outside Battle Creek. It's been fixed though and now had a Stage II PT Cruiser clutch in it. My buddies should be racing it in a few weeks, I'll be in Wisconsin though.

I'll let you know if we do a race in your neck of the woods. There's often RallyX's at the in Marshall.

I remember reading about that. Should've gotten a hold of me, I'd have helped you out.

I honestly didn't know there was anything around there, so I might have to look into that.

So, two things.

One: ticked over 10,000 miles on the Sonic yesterday.

Two: the Sonic will be driven quite a bit less now. I got a motorcycle endorsement and bought a 1986 Honda Rebel 250 for $500 that had been sitting in a barn and needed a bit of maintenance. So I changed the oil, cleaned the carb, cleaned up the chain and re-oiled it, flushed the brake fluid, changed the spark plugs, and cleaned the bike itself up. The paint isn't in that great of shape, and there is a small amount of surface rust on some things I need to take care of, but outside of that it's in good shape.

And no pics? tsk tsk, Well anyway, enjoy your motorcycle, hope you got some gear to go along with it.

 

[TheBook]

Been too busy riding to get pics. I'll get some today. And oh yeah, I'm set up gear-wise.

 

[Thatman]

Sounds good man, glad to hear your enjoying it!(though I dont know of anyone that had tried a motorcycle and not like it)

 

[TheBook]

Honda will be gone soon. Replaced it with a 2001 Suzuki GS500.

Only one pic...

...but there's also a video.

Those things feel like sooooo thin and light. Nothing wrong with that tho! 👍

 

[TheBook]

They also have half the displacement and like a third the power compared to what you're used to.

 

[Thatman]

Very true, but even compared to the 89 Kawa ninja EX500 my dad has. Felt thinner and lighter. 👍

You could also considering something a long the lines of an AE92 (early 90's) Corolla GT-S or Prism GSI. 4A-GE power, disc brakes, and such.


Or, maybe even more epic...

my room mates

Escort GT. Pretty fun all around, same chassis as an MX-3, a has quite a bit of tunablity, actually.
