heh ... but who would want a Neon 20 or 30 years from now? Heck, who would want one now?? Now that Duster .... that's a kewl car!
-
Great idea... I didn't think of that one!
-
you know... I also thought of that too... just haven't "explored" it .... glad to hear someone has done it and it worked out. The trailer had 3 nice aluminum strips that were glued on the top which are still in good shape so I'll be re-using those ... just need a "rack". Another idea I had was using aluminum tubing and rail hardware as what is found on various boats. I was in a hardware store the other day that caters to the marine folks and came across some of the components which gave me that idea. I'm still in the "research" process but it would be nice to find the kind of stuff originally used on these trailers. The one that was on mine got a little mangled when it was dumped.

thanks Don... I thought of the RV places... just haven't gotten a "round toit". I did go to a shop that deals specifically with cargo racks and cargo carriers but dang... the cheapest is near $400.

The chrome / aluminum "rack" found on many of the cargo trailers (such as the one in the att'd pic). Canada vendors preferred. [ATTACH]44234[/ATTACH]

That's basically the same as the Progressive one which is about $50 I think.
-
NICE!!! ... so how many is that now?

When I go for lunch today, I'll check to see if I won the lottery on Friday....

I do recall what the rear of that thing looked like... yes, I recall that VERY WELL .. so I went looking on the Porsche site and I'm pretty sure it was the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. We'd been rolling along a long, straight 4-way with long stretches between the traffic lights .... I passed him in traffic and got a good look at the car, then he passed me in traffic. We both came to a red light and were first out but didn't really "get on it" at that light... it was the next light we came to... first out again ... medium throttle off the light I revved it out in first, hit second and cranked it on... he was beside me and that's must be when his turbo cut in coz it was like "WHOOSH"... and he left me behind. Now I don't feel bad about this at all... what I'd really like now to do is OWN ONE OF THOSE! LOL .. (or at least take one for a ride)
-
1st gen... I dunno ... I've had 2 of em ... I know they're faster but man, that Porsche made me look like I was goin in reverse LOL now, If I was solo and the scoot didn't have a rev limiter, and I had a Vmax pumpkin.... maybe I might have been able to keep up long enuf to get the model of it LOL
-
They're called ... TROLLS ... they have nothing better to do with their time except in on-line forums, blogs, etc, etc.

Awesome day for riding yesterday... left home around 9:30, tripped around the lower mainland/Fraser Valley, got back home around 5:30. Smoked a couple Harleys but when I tried to take on a PORSCHE ..... :crying: I always wondered how quick those thing were ... now I know!

I don't understand the words on that site but my eyes sure understand the pics!! YYUUMMMMMMMMM !!! -
nope... I know of a few guys who are "in that profession" and let me tell ya, times are just as tough ... some make the big bucks... most don't but in a city this size, there's a large number that do very well. As for the housing prices, it's absolutely ridiculous around here ... it blows me away how people can afford to live in this area when they are buying a place. Yet in the 8 years I've been here, I've seen nothing but major housing expansion everywhere within a 100 mile radiius.... and it's still expanding. Massive condo projects, huge blocks of "farm" land converted to single family homes, townhouses, you name it. We RENT the main floor of a 35yr old house in a very old, quiet neighborhood, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, large kitchen & breakfast nook, L-shaped dining / living room and a single car garage and we got lucky @ $1300 a month. Most similar places would be $1500-$1800 /mo. just to RENT ... this place would sell for close to a million if not more ... think we can afford to buy it with minimum down???... not a chance!!!

Diagram??? He's referring to the baffles inside the RK mufflers (I believe). They are nothing more than a round metal "plug" about the size of a Loonie (silver dollar for you US guys LOL) inside the muffler. There is an internal "tube" that runs lengthwise in the muffler and the baffles force the exhaust to the inside of the muffler (so to speak). When you drill out the baffles, the exhaust is almost straight-thru although some still gets muffled. In my RK's, there were 3 of these baffles...one near the inlet, one near the outlet, and one in the middle.
