TA^Guy · 09-09-2002, 10:05 PM

My new favorite toy my 2002 Yamaha YZF600R

My new Yamaha with my old 1982 Yamaha Maxim 400 with 7,300 original miles.

Also not shown is my 5x8 box trailer that is also black with chrome wheels, and my recently aquired wrecked '83 Z28 powered by a L69 backed by a T5. The trailer will be getting de-stickered and restickered with some EastCoast graphics. It will haul club stuff to events and the drag strip. And hopfully load my bike into it and head for Deals Gap to run the Dragon on my bike.
The Z28 was taken as partical trade for my old '81 TA. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but I'd like to slap a fiberglass nose on it and 150-200shot of N2O and go beat the crap out of it. And my Yamaha Maxim might be leaving shortly also.

Oh well just room for big and better toys.

Rba007 · 09-10-2002, 12:45 PM

It's sitting in my house.

I ordered VDO vision series gauges for it from Summit Racing and only got one. The other is backordered, hopefully I'll get it sometime this century so I can install it by spring.

I also have a set of red indiglo pedal covers to go on it, some more red lighting for the under the hood, and going to get some red neons for the interior to match the trunk.
We had a little GrandAm meet up this way a little while back adn I really wanted the pod in for that, but the oil gauge never showed up.

StarFire · 09-12-2002, 10:27 AM

Hey I have those exact same Kenwoods...except 12"s. Do you get compliments on them? Cuz everyone that seems them loves the Pearl Mica Injection-Molded Polypropylene Cone. I do have to admit is is such a sleak look to the speaker.

I (personally) think they sound really good too, especially for how cheap they were (my favorite part).

Everything looks really good, btw!!!!!

TA^Guy · 09-15-2002, 01:07 PM

Thanks!
Yes alot of people comment on them. I wouldn't even care if they were bad comments because I too got a great deal. Someone smashed into my friends 30k mile IROCZ the day after my wedding and totaled it. He had purchased these subs for his car from Crutchfield. He sold them to me about what he paid for them $100 a pair. I guess they had a buy one get one free sale on certain speakers. So for $100 I got a nice set of sub. I'm only pushing about 100 watts to each one, but they still sound pretty darn good.

BTW Rba007,
I just received my oil pressure gauge in the mail so hopefully soon I'll have them installed along with the red indiglo pedal civers my wife just purchased. I was under the impression I could use the stock sending unit, but now was just told I need a aftermarket one. Oh well atleast it's not backordred.
Now for a nice, cool day to work on it.

Irate · 09-15-2002, 09:54 PM

John, I love the macro shot you did of your bike... looks great! If you want a hand with the guage pod when I'm home, I'll definately help you out. I'm planning on renting a garage heater for a while during christmas break, if you don't have it done by then, maybe...

TA^Guy · 09-16-2002, 08:33 PM

I have a salimander <sp> type heater that heats my garage pretty darn well. I don't know when I'll get to it, but the help would be nice. It should only take a few beers to get it done.

Y2KGAGT · 09-20-2002, 11:00 AM

I am actually looking forward to all these "mods". Have them all laying around the house is going to make for a long winter

oh well, can't wait to get all these things going.

TA^Guy · 09-27-2002, 08:47 PM

Well tonight I just brought home a pair of fatty rubbers for my GN. Yes she is wearing brand new 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial TAs out back, but these bad boys are for the track. Nice Hoosier slicks, booya! Traded a friend for some TA parts, and they still have about 1-2 seasons left on them. Now I just need to find a pair of GN alloys to match mine to mounted these sticky rubbers apon. From then on out at the track it's near full boost launches baby! No more spinning though the 60' mark.

Mike Reyna · 09-27-2002, 09:24 PM

Awesome!

Irate · 09-28-2002, 06:32 AM

holy crap man, that's ****in' awesome!! Your GN will look so sexy with those bad boys on there. Geesh, and to think I would have stood some sort of chance running up against you next season, oh well

TA^Guy · 09-28-2002, 05:39 PM

Well Rob, from my two runs I got in you already beat her. (didn't sppol, and then spun though the 60')

But dependign on whats going on this winter I might get all the bugs worked out of her and knocking a full second off the time. As for the slicks, those should knock it down even further. Slicks, Posi and a factory 4 link rearend! Uff Uff! Lets just hope my tranny holds up.
