Come by and take a look. I would like to get $50 for it. I don't see why it wouldn't fit the SA. It came of a first gen, and as far as I know all First gen 12A headers will fit.

sup guys, i won't be going to the ice cream place this weekend several reasons, for one a friend of mine is going off to boot campso we have to have some fun before monday, and second i didn't find the 45/50 minute drive all that worth it once i got there. however i will still go to the moorsville meets those are way more exciting :P haha. and i may be bringing another friend with me, i told him about it, if he can get off work he said he'd go.

That's cool Edger. We understand that the ricer hangout isn't the same as the 7 crew I won't be there this weekend either. My anniversary is tomorrow, so I have to spend some quality time with the misses.

Is there a third video? I checked out your 2nd one. So what was top speed on these videos? Its kind of like our sunday runs but no traffic, stop signs or intersections. Looks like fun, I wish I could have made it down. Next year I suppose.

I got up to about 110 on the back straight and 95 on the front. I didn't have the ***** to keep it pinned in 3rd the whole way down the hill to the front. I probably could have, but hot street tires, 100+ right hander, and being 200 miles from home kinda prevented me.


Yeah, there is a 3rd one. I will get it up later tonight. I was actually closer to that miata than the video shows, and gave him a good run for the money some times

It just sucks that you guys were only playing follow the leader. I would have like to seen you pass (or get passed by) someone. I am probably going to Darlington this coming weekend. I WILL be taking the Buell! I don't know if I can mount a camera on the bike or not. I will see what they say.

I used double sided very sticky velcro, held the camera perfectly.

And on the 2nd lap, I would have passed that miata, but we couldn't. I was reeling him in!

good video Stu. I am trying to talk my cousin into "sponsoring" me a set of R compound tires a year. for track days. The street tires just boil off too quickly. Alot do to my set-up not being correct but my instructors Z06 had R compounds and it was impressive when we went around in his session.

R compound? Not to keen on compounds, so I will assume R means Race

Yeah, I hear that on the street tires. Sumi's are great on the street, but after 2 laps they were howling where they wern't before.

Pretty clean body a coiuple spots of rust and the odd ding here and there. 2395 OBO It is on the road between Stanley and Dallas. Just past the river fish fry going towards Dallas (the car will be on the left.) It is a brownish greyish color. Just a FYI for anyone looking for a FB.

sup guys, i'm trying to talk some of the local rotary owners into going to the meets, and getting involved with at least this part of the forum. so far i've just gottened a maybe from a friend of mine, lol, i've seen a couple of 2nd gens whom idk who drives them, a 3rd gen, and a couple of 1st gens.

anyways, just for ***** and giggles and out of curiosity i was wondering, how long a drive does everyone have to take to get to the Moorsville meet?

reason i ask is well, it takes me about 1 hr. give or take a few minutes, i had someone told me that was a bit too far, and it is, eventho its worth it, but thats only me and him on that lol. so anyways, this is something i was thinking of, if i can get enough people, (that'll be a certain number of people you guys choose) willing to come out everytime (unless something drastic happens of course :P) and if it won't affect anyone else's driving distance too much neither, would any of you guys be willing to drive a bit further idk, somewhere in between.....now this won't be like a let's do it type of deal here, i'm just trying to get numbers, and see what everyone elses driving time is also, so that just in case i do get enough people, we can sorta split the difference......don't know of a place yet neither.

anyways let me know, about your driving times, and if you'd be interested only if i can get enough people, and i'm guessing a good number of people would be around 6-8 maybe? what do you guys think? i don't wanna **** anyone here, since i am rather new here, i don't wanna **** up anyone else's plans, like i said, just let me know what you think.

^^Usually takes me 45 minutes to get there. Only missed one iirc. Plus I hit up the occasional Ice Cream meet on saturday nights in statesville, which is about an hour-ish from me.
