Sounds like a good plan. I like the bad aids you got there haha A family member has a civic just like that with like 300,000 miles on it and it keeps on chugging lol
I have no idea what some of that stuff is.. lol I'm not much of a car modification guy but it sounds like you're going in the direction of a rally car look? Double din radio stood out to me because I have a 7 inch screen in my avenger. Pioneer is the way to go for that.. Sounds like it'll look pretty cool with the performance to back it up
Nah kinda a fun DD that will sound great and maybe be an auto cross car for racing for fun like I do with my civic. It would be a better car to race but not sure when I'll take that step.
I'll do a double din forgot about that and yes I believe in Pioneer. Always bought their head units.
So if anyone asks why no bike mods...This car is why lol. Below is a picture of a car I found and follow on instagram. It's my favorite car. I won't be this low but I'll do this color.
Yep. Buddy owns a vinyl company. Said if I buy the material he will help me wrap the car if I toss on his logo which I have no problem doing. Will be about 700 to a grand
Race car parts? Haha The subaru is parked at the moment and not doing a whole lot of racing lol Just giving you a hard time though. Gotta keep that money for plastics too!
Lol i know about the car. It will be out spring with the hope roads are fixed around here.
Working on the plastics now. I still have to uninstall my old headlights and put in the lights I got from cbr6racr with HIDs. That and send my seat back to street skins for an adjustment.
So the other day I saw sublime green for the first time in person. When I instantly saw this color, I knew it was the color my bike will be painted. The green should go perfect with my white brake lines and carbon fiber pieces.
Ya know rizzo... That silver looks pretty good with that lime color. You could get some silver mirrors to keep the same color scheme haha just kidding. I do like that color though! Nice and bright and black accents would make it look amazing

Just purchased a set of full oem fairings. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but this winter the Repsol fairings will be taken off and sold to a local buyer.
The fairings maybe vinyl wrapped or painted white with black pin stripe. I'd really like to go a matte dark gray...but budget says otherwise.
Well I did spring for that set of OEMs. I need to open the box to check and make sure they're all OEM like the seller said so. Still deciding color though.
Going to see if I can get some mule car camo from work and do the bike in it to be way different. Never seen it done.
Bike hasn't moved though since last November. We are closing on a house Thursday so I'll have a garage next year and ride the bike. Need to do a coolant flush this winter and I'll end up selling those repsol fairings to whoever wants to pick them up locally. Not shipping these that's for sure.
Very Nice!
Can I pick your brain about sprockets./power.
I did +2 rear. -1front. It got stronger on the low end. But everyone made it sound like it was going to pull up the front wheel without any effort.
not even close.
I am at 5-6 thousand feet in elevation.
Denver area. So I'm sure that's part of it.
I'm being told a power commander is what it needs to make up what the altitude is taking.
I don't really care about standing my bike up and riding wheelies but I do like it when I get on it for the front wheel to come up once in awhile.
when I want it to.
And with the setup I have now the power just isn't there. I've had buddies with the same bike and all they had to do was twist throttle and their bikes stood right up.
however they were all at sea level not a mile high.
I appreciate any advice you give me and thank you for your time.
my bike is an 03 CBR 600 with 10,000 miles
And always very well maintained.
I'm not 100% on the sprocket info but I learned a lot from cbr6racr who helped install my mods. I did the +2 rear and this really gives me low end. The bike will take off and come up if you know how to make it. I wish not to let that happen so I never get the front end up.
However your huge problem is the fuel to air ratio right now. A simple dynojet will help the problem, however the can tunes that are made to suite all bikes may not get you what you want. A dyno tune from a shop will custom made one to account for the air you run into in Denver.
Lots of people run different sprocket setups and I've never encountered a setup like that. I've seen -1 +1 but not -2.
