So just to keep in touch, what have you boys (and in Mr ZOOMs case girlz) accomplished so far over the winter?



I personally havent done much but will be removing my UIM this Sat to gasket match the ports. Also will be sending that out with my NEW, yes new Efini Y pipe to be ceramic coated. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

Ya but I can get that brand new for 270 tax in and everything. I think 300 with rails, and no one else's ass has been on it.



I'm kinda getting sick of people trying to sell used as "new" items. In my opinion, if you took it out of the box you automatically lose 25% of the value due to depreciation.

TYSON 02-09-2005 09:49 AM

Where are you getting the seat for that money?



All I see is $270 USD prices.
