Has no problems going around everyone!

and why bother with rego??? i see it has no indicators or nufin! wouldnt you be better having no plate and just running?

NOBODY tell WT that his pipe went down via takapuna welding.
Im sure he wont notice the 4 penny washers welded inside the pipe.
that 50hp gain could just be a 10hp loss.
Oh and WT -no I don't wanna see pics of you monoing my zxr on the net
But thanks for the offer mate

Seriously though guys WT is a fucking legend-He fitted my motor and the zxr is in principle ready to ride. :love2: :love2:

And this is at pukekohe, imagine Taupo, a 400 would really show those big GSXR1100's!

Sorry mate no chance. i know of several bikes under construction for this class and 1:10's wont be close.

I got around Puke in 1992 on a standard 1987 model 750 in 102's (with a slight misfire coming out of the hairpin). i believe 60 second laps will see you in the top three once this class gets going.

cheers

those big old gsxr's shouldnt be underestimated. my mate was a motox'r and he loved his gsxr cause he had plenty of power just to step the back out any time he wanted to. Only mad bastard ive seen do redline up 3-4 gears on a metal road, on a 93 gsxr (i think).

Hi from Wanganui,
Saw some great racing at the cemetary 04.

This convinced me that i had to get back on track again just for the hell of it. My pre 89 is a 1986 GSXR 1100 aquired about three months ago. So far to date i have purchased on trade me , a set of race fairings to preserve the originals, 1 x rear race stand and various other parts. The bike was a bit of a lemon but with a lot of elbow greese and a military strip and clean shes starting to look the part. Will attach the photo of it before race /street prep.

I will endevour to post more pics as it progresses.
Ps anyone got the actual rules for this class ?

PM Lynda Blair, she's got a copy, otherwise I'll dig my copy out for you on Wednesday when I'm back at work... PM me your Email address and I'll send em thru. Ta.

Actually, these might be a good sticky for this forum ? Anyone know how to do this ?

Cheers,

Sedge.

Will post pics as bike progresses

I have a 1987 FZR1000 sitting in my shed, dreaming about getting pimped up. Where would be the obvious place for me to start? Exhaust? carbs?

Ummm....could I suggest, from the sound of the opposition, start by checking your bank balance.

**sedge** · 25th January 2005, 19:49

Exactly... Yikes... I was thinking get a shite old bike and race against other shite old bikes... but no... What they really need is a budget class... IE $3k is all you can spend, no freebies and you have to show reciepts from real shops or people you DON'T know for the good bits on your bike.
