start riding on the weekends mixx!! that'll be a change no?

masagsxr · 10-16-2009, 02:50 AM

It would be except I dont have a legal street bike hahahaa

o6spdracer · 10-16-2009, 12:19 PM

Man, it would be nice start riding again...just to many crazies on the road.

masagsxr · 10-16-2009, 12:37 PM

those crazies are a given but you should not let it get to your head or else it would end up happening to you....... I had a pretty big spill but i'm over it now and ready to go back on the road... Whats preventing me? Gotta do mom's wishes... If I ride again, I gotta move out hahahhaaaa... Thats in the works thats for sure.

o6spdracer · 10-16-2009, 12:45 PM

^True. But I think that fear/being extra cautious keeps us, well me at least, in check. If we do move next year, I might get another one just because of the commute.

randomxzero · 10-16-2009, 01:42 PM

damn i forgot it wasnt legal..
well take your sc to the canyons lol jk

o6spdracer · 10-16-2009, 01:49 PM

hahaha DO IT!!

masagsxr · 10-16-2009, 07:39 PM

I would but automatic sucks. It feels so weak

... I don't feel like I have control if I can't downshift from 5th to 2-3rd gear.

o6spdracer · 10-16-2009, 07:40 PM

Aren't you planning on a swap???

randomxzero · 10-16-2009, 09:48 PM

mr.asian.m2 · 10-17-2009, 01:27 AM

i agree with alex...

well, tomorrow morning we are getting ready to do other texasmr2 photo shoot. this time inside downtown. so, i post up pic soon guys.

goodnight.

masagsxr · 10-17-2009, 05:29 PM

Ji: Yep.. will still do a swap but thats not going to be anytime soon unless I blow my savings hahahaaa... I can't do that tho. This hobby has to stay within budget.

Alex: Damn... hhmmmm what could it possibly be. Its got to be electrical....

Keep us posted Frankie... We don't mind if you take pix of hot chicks more than the dueces hahhhaaa

o6spdracer · 10-17-2009, 05:50 PM

^Agreed on all three points!

Alex: I think its time to bust out the multimeter

randomxzero · 10-17-2009, 10:37 PM

i busted the multimeter out..
changed wiring harness since it had blueish terminals to ECU.. got the car started long enough to notice that the exhaust valves were sticking..
time for a new head..

masagsxr · 10-18-2009, 04:48 PM

new head? Thought u rebuilt the head too already. hhhmmmm

honda_bar · 10-19-2009, 01:09 AM

Found a sweet residential road the other night while getting intentionally lost. I had a blasty blast on that road.

I feel like I have some news to share but it slipped my mind

mark, put up turkey trot info!

Mix, your coming out next sunday right?! c'mon dude.....

datguydeni · 10-19-2009, 01:56 AM

Turkey TRot WOOT. it actually has been a year since i started being active.

randomxzero · 10-19-2009, 01:59 AM

no i never got the first head rebuilt.. :/ no money!..

Mark pm me your number.. i just listened to my voicemail today but deleted it on acdident.. :/

o6spdracer · 10-19-2009, 02:10 AM

congrats on finding the problem Alex!

masagsxr · 10-19-2009, 02:15 AM

Colin: I'll be out of the country for 2 weeks starting wed (10/21) so, nope... sorry.

Alex: Well, you've put a lot of $$$ on the car already. I suggest just save up and buy the head rebuilt kit and DIY. You practically have just about taken the engine apart twice already. It doesn't seem like the problem would be on the head tho.
