since all it has had is a very gentle break in, and 2 passes at the track, id like to see a good price out of it.....
by the time it was to my door it was well over 1200 bucks
and considering that im basically losing the grand it cost me to put in *sigh*
Ill probably list it on the forums at 1k.
but we might be able to sort something out.....
pm me if you are interested

that headwind was brutal. on a ninja, i was looking at the sky.
i had my personal worst ever run with the bike. 11.3@132
i wheelied all thru 1st and second without touching down.
i estimated i ran the first 900 ft on one tire. freaky ****!!
i just couldnt keep the nose down. after my second pass, i left, as i assumed i was going to get spoken to over that run, lol.
p.s. i got my spare engine for the cobalt now, yay!

OK, so I have beaten my PB two weekends in a row. I also had as good a launch as cant get on my semi-street tires. :-). Two bad is I shifted two hard into 2nd and glazed the clutch on that run. I backed of and she stuck to get my best run yet at 13.924 @ 102.83 with a 60' of 2.145. THe other slip is from the previous weekend. THis is on stage 2 intake and exhaust and THE ANOMALOUS .... Thanks bud. If I get lucky I might be able to get a 13.8 run before winter. And then the cooling mods will have to come in.
Edit: I am 108 and the 13.2 s run was a civic :-(, But is was fast. He lather ran a 12 s time. I wish I can be 1000 lbs lighter. :-)

Yes it was a turbo'd civic. It was really fast. :-)
I dont think R/T affects my ET's on Street legal night. It starts timing from the moment you actually start moving. I went for a more controlled launch. Thanks for the compliments on the times though.

Thanks for the compliments. Now all I have to do is get consistently below 2.2 60' and I think I can run a 13.8 with my current setup (then some more modding :-), it never ends :-) )

oh man you suck drik. I wish I could get some traction! We should swap front tires and see what happens
That's good though. I see the full exhaust that you put on really helps alot.

With street tires and a few suspension mods, when I had my Ion RL, I was able to get a 2.164 60' time. That was even on a stock clutch/flywheel.

Thanks guys for the compliments. The tune made such a big difference. I run very consistent 14.0 and 14.1 's even when I get a crappy launch.
Rob. :-) I might just let you borrow my tires for a few runs. :-)
