Drove the car to Cars and Coffee at the Blackhawk museum in Danville. Then took the tour. Love having 3 in the car for convienence.






Michael-
how does the middle seat work out with the cops? no seat belt? or you have one?

curious--I got a 9 year old that I would love to take with me and wife, but concern to run into a ticket…

LA style ...8o's


At least the two kids on the right are wearing their own airbags!

Found a nifty chrome tip in the garage that fits the banana perfectly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Since the 'BB' will be my 'DD' for a while (so we can do some overdue maintenance to the Tacoma), I needed an antenna for a two-way radio. Installed a through-the-glass type since it needs to be as high as possible and I didn't want to drill any holes in the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Elliot should be happy to see I'm running with the [black] 'winter top' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)



Uh-oh. Turning into a rust bucket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ... The engine grille is OK, just the side grilles doing this.

Maybe I didn't give these enough extra coats back when ...

What do you think of the sound of the banana muffler Mark? I loved the sound on my car with the webers... sounded like a proper 4 cylinder Porsche from the 60's.

I Like it, Ethan. It's noticeably quieter than the Triad and seems to be better matched to my current jetting. I still need to set up the AFR and re-jet accordingly, but very happy with it's performance, look and sound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Joe Sharp had been telling me to get one for a long time ... just took a while to find a nice one at a good price.

Good deal! When I went from my header to heat exhcnagers/ banana, I had to jet down a LOT to get it back to where it was happy. I don't know why people get rid of them in the first place.. I guess they rust out

Most people think they aren't neat or cool. Performance is what is cool and you don't get a better pipe until you spend more that $1,500, but the coolest pipe is about $2,500 from CFR. Thats like all of the bikers that can't ride. Loude pipes save lives. How stupid is that? Relying on a noise to keep you off of a car instead of just paying attention and riding around it. This is being said by someone that has more than 150K miles riding in LA traffic on just one bike and I wore out 3 bikes. If you want to lose performance put on a loud pipe.

I think the banana added some back pressure that was lacking with the Triad. It's still running rich, but I already notice the increased performance. I should be getting my Weber jet kit back at the G&R this Sunday ... and I'll get it dialed in better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
