What kind of car do you drive?

[makenzie71]

bahahahaha...is that an LS?  I can't believe you tow that bike around with that crazy transmission...

[pantablo]

transmission is fine. yes, an LS. (how can you tell its not a Integra GS?). 1997-63k miles on it. Getting some Rota wheels this week (one final pothole did in the wheels)...

yes, I've towed the bike to the track several times. Will  have to start doing it again with Uhaul trailer (this 24th!) since my buddy with a truck (which I used to borrow for ease of use vs trailering) has moved out of state.

[makenzie71]

The GS sits a little more squat and has a standard feature spoiler...and a few other tell tale signs.

Meh if it's a 5spd it should hold up good.  The Ls trannies were ridiculously high strung to aid in economy...an extra 1000lbs would wreak havoc on the auto's clutch packs after a while.

When I'm not riding one of my cycles my choices are:

my cycle choices are:
The GS!

That truck is kinda cool...  And the GS.

[pantablo]

its a 5-spd.

[makenzie71]

It should hold up fnie then...I've got a buddy who uses the LS 5spd trannies by choice in his turbo Type R.  Something like 410whp...they can handle that ok.  The auto's are straight up trash when it comes to asking them for a "little more".

hey AnimalMother, what are the specs of that truck...its freakin badass.  i cant wait to get one and build it up later on.

It's a '76 C-10 with a 12 bolt posi rear, it originally came with a 250c.i. straight 6 but last summer I pulled it and replaced it with a built 350.  I just put new Centerline wheels on last year with 295/60's in the rear.

[animal mother]

nice rides animal, is that 71 a shovel or a pan?

Thanks!  The '71 is a shovel, this is what it originally looked like.

and then like this:

now like this:

[skoozi12]

how much?

i want 13k which is reasonable but it's such a pita right now cuz I am so anxious to get the bike

no idea. how about some real stats...like what model mazda is it? is it a mazdaspeed6? why limited edition?

sorry i was a little um...

but Mak nailed it right on the head

Pablo, that would be the MazdaSpeed Protege.

170hp on a 2-liter turbo I4, curbs at 2900lbs on a good day.  I was rather unimpressed with the suspension and handling, though.  Typical overhyped/priced Mazda.(RX-7 owner)

I'm actually pretty impressed.  Not a lot of people know about it.  Agree with you on the handling.  It's not horrible though.  Compared to the other "suped up" (making fun of myself here of course) cars in it's "class", it straight lines for sh*t but it handles WAY better than it's dodge counterpart.  Nothing compared to the RX7 or 8s or my dream car the lancer evo (that I don't want anymore so back off)

[makenzie71]

You could just trade it in straight up...use it as full pay for one bike and a partial on another or you could go for the literbikes and get one.  Trade in should be in the 10.5k area.

You mean to tell me that you couldn't tell from the picture that it is a 5 speed?  Huh.

Anxious huh?  I'll give you 20 bucks and a case of beer


Since everyone started posting pics, here's my Taco

'02 F250


Also, '98 Kawasaki 900 STX


I'm looking for a good used, demo or overstock STX-15F.

Sorrry...I couldn't see the front bumper.

it wouldn't happen to be due to economics?
standard 5 speed tranny...500-700 used
GS-R 5speed tranny . . . 1200-1500 used

[makenzie71]

Has nothing to do with economics...all performance.  The LS tranny has taller gears...higher top speed, fewer shifts, each gear can be run out longer, etc.
