Ive got to much going on with moving and starting college, plus working full time to spend any more time/money on my car. And id much rather just have 1 vehicle (my motorcycle) to take care of and store.

As far as the intercooler piping...... it came with the car when I bought it. And when s/c came out to look at my car he mentioned it was a kit that was available at one time???

they def arent the prettiest sport bike but its grown on me and i doubt ill ever buy anything besides a ninja 250, 0-60 in 4.5(for me) & top speed around 110, thats plenty for me i dont have the need for speed. lol. plus i can drive "spirited" consistenly and still get 68mpg. All i need is a new and better windscreen and a tail bag and im set. good luck with the R6 those bikes look sick and are fast! nothing like a bike thats for sure.

isn't the Honda Repsol a 1000? Or is there a 600 version too? IMO the R6 is the sexiest 600 and they rev to the moon!

i thought the repsol remake was a 600... i might be wrong. but yeah i love the R6 they are so nimble and sleek looking... like narrower than most bikes and light looking. i fell in love with them when i went to my first street race (didnt race just watched) and two guys that worked at DGY showed up on identical R6's and raced freakin fast as hell... lit up the tires with out effort and just blew flames out like nuts... even thouhg they mistreated the bikes like over revving them doin a damn burn out i still fell in love with that bike

MAYBE THE WHOLE ISNT GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS???

THE SIG SAYS IT BETTER I THINK.

I am still trying to sell it as a whole tho, and if your interested I can keep the T-5 and drop it to 2k and after this weekend Im selling the rear deflector so Ill lower the price then too.

Its a very small leak If I remember right it was losing about 1/2" out of the coolant overflow every month. I really think it could easily make it to San Jose the way it is, but I guess Stop Leak couldnt hurt.

When would you be interested? PM me

How's the body of the car itself? Rust wise. I've actually been considering find a decent priced good condition body to swap my 83' L28ET into. Also the lower front looks like it's been bent up some. Did it see an accident or something?

$1450!!!

Well I just sold the T-5 swap and the msa type II body kit so the price is lowered to $1450!!! But I am still partin it out, and if someone maybe wants the engine I might be persuaded??? I would however like to sell the engine as the very last peice so Its still driveable, maybe not comfortable but none the less driveable.
