It was crashed. Small dent in the tank and scratches on the bodywork from what I hear.

Sigh...he's hellbent on getting it even though it's got a salvage title and a mileage discrepancy. Oh well. Unless there's an 06 R6 in blue out there with a clean title for $4500, I'm just gonna have to hope I'm wrong.

Ben, the misfire is causing excess fuel to reach the cat. That's then detected by the o2 as a cat deficiency. He just got the cat and o2s replaced so it's not those. It's the misfire causing that code. I betcha it'll work right now that the coil is replaced.

Like I said man, dormant codes. They're still there I'd bet.

Buddy of mine is looking for a bike. He's stumbled onto a bike at Racers Edge in Cincy and unfortunately loves it. I'm leery. 2006 Yamaha R6 Mileage: 11,060 (not actual according to title) Title: Salvage Mods: Yoshi slip on Damage: Nothing visible but I haven't gotten to take a good look at it Price: $4000 I've never dealt with a salvage bike before and neither has he. I feel it's not worth that price considering clean title ones can be had for $4800 to $5500. I'm also worried about it being a basketcase. It looks fine, all plastics are intact so someone must have done work on it or something like the frame was scratched. I just don't know. And I don't want to recommend him getting a bike that's going to be iffy, he's not mechanically inclined and it's his first bike. The title also seems a little weird. I thought mileage had to be posted. https://www.dps.state.oh.us/atps/titleinq.asp?id=JYARJ12E56A001825&propid=V VIN: JYARJ12E56A001825

It's not EGR. That won't cause a misfire. Also, with the light off, codes are still in there stored. They are just dormant codes and not active ones. What's the name of this shop again? Remind me to never go there.

Legally? Lots and lots and lots of $$$$$$ You're better off buying the base American version of the car (Holden Monaro = Pontiac GTO, Holden Commodore VXR8 = G8 GXP) and then getting the specific Holden parts imported over here. You can buy the brake kits, hoods, wheels, engine mods, etc as long as you have the cash.

Or not. lol This is scary though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl4G84D0R0Y

Same train. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql6MYFO4ihA

Nope, that's not it. Headquarters is based in Noale, Italy. I'm pretty sure it's the big building in the first link I posted.

Gimme a sec. Jeez! BTW, look at the map again. And zoom out.

It says my bike was built here. Cool http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&q=SCORZE+ITALY&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Scorz%C3%A8+Venice,+Veneto,+Italy&gl=us&ei=4aFGS_vGLdCrlAfSn8EK&ved=0CAoQ8gEwAA&ll=45.5714,12.107987&spn=2.241739,5.811768&z=8

Hold on, let me get a bigger glass.

Heavy is better. Highball glass with two shots of vodka, three shots of baileys, and a little milk.

Swiss Miss + Bailey's Caramel + canned whip cream + chocolate sprinkles = perfect winter drink. (aside from heavy White Russians)

I'll stick with my CTS-V2 (well future sedan at least)

Haha wow

Fixed. Not quite a straight up G8 though, the HSVs get adjustable suspensions, poly bushings, that Walkinshaw blower, 6 piston front brakes clamping 14" rotors. All kinds of nice stuff you can't get on a factory G8. Doesn't mean you can't mod the shit out of it to match though. If I owned a white G8, it would be getting that offset stripe, wing, and Holden front/rear fascias immediately.

We're at 3+ inches in south Dayton. Roads are starting to get really shitty. GTO does NOT like it right now but we're still moving.

Bout to go out to lunch. Will report back on conditions. Doesn't look bad at all from my office window.

It's been just over three months without riding for me. I know how you feel.

Swing up to Michigan and do what? Look at the corn? Michigan is flatter than a runway with nothing in sight. It's boring as shit. Trust me, I ride there half the year.

Where was this before I blew my wad of cash on turbo parts?!
