Anyone in the market for a kids quad? My son hasn't ridden his 2003 LT80 in two years so it is time for it to go to clear up some space. Fresh tune up and fresh battery, $1,200 takes it. Extremely low hours, original tires show next to no wear. Looking at CL, older versions in much rougher condition seem to be bringing this or more so trying to price it competitively. Always stored inside and only sign of age is blistered stickers on the gas tank, common on these. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/LT80.jpg I'll be posting up his go-cart in the next couple of weeks as well.

Wesley's Bleach White does a good job of stripping tire shine.

Welcome, nice intro and sharp car. Is that an OhioG Club sticker on the quarter glass?

It's a great event, tons cars, great driving, great people and nighttime parties are crazy. I've been for the past 7 years and it gets bigger and better each year. There will likely be over 700 cars this year.

Love the GTR in white. Now you just need to come to ZDayz in May to hang out with all of the other GTR's. Congrats on the purchase!

Welcome Doug! Making it to Zdayz again this year?

Went through the 'give me my keys back' bullshit with a dealer a few months ago when they offered us $7k less on my wife's Pilot than anyone else had offered. Same tactics, he continued to insistently question my plans on financing the car that we were looking at, when I told him that I wasn't shopping for financing or a specific payment, he did not know how to respond. POS salesman refused to give me the keys back until I talked to a manager. After 10 minutes of asking for my keys politely, I grabbed the keys out of his hand and walked out. Wasn't the same dealer that you were dealing with but this must be a common tactic. Purchased a new Subaru XV for the wife the next day from another dealer. We've had it for about 5 months, happy with it so far. Wish it had a bit more power but that's not what we bought it for.

Not sure if this will help but older post on similar topic: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98962 I still use the same jeweler referenced in that post, he's out in Washington Court House but worth the drive.

Great looking car and photography, welcome to the site.

I switched from Hawk HPS to EBC Red Stuff earlier this year before a trip to the Tail of the Dragon. In my opinion, the Red Stuff offer significantly more bite than the HPS. I have never tried the Green Stuff pads.

The intro portion of a video that I am working with a friend on, hoping to have it finished in the next few weeks. The spelling error in the intro will be corrected too..... http://vimeo.com/77186433

Bummed that I will miss it due to the rain date. This is a great show that I look forward to annually.

Simply stunning, congrats on the find.

80's - Current Euros and Tuners? Good seeing you at this years show Clay.

There was an 'escorted exotic car cruise' leaving the Arthritis Show this evening, not sure where they were going though. There will be two C7's at the show tomorrow.

This is one of my favorite shows of the year, I will be there in the Datsun/Nissan lot. The variety of cars at this show is simply amazing, well worth attending.

Most of the quality hidden fasteners are stainless and run about $1/sq ft on average. Some of the hidden fasteners like Tiger Claw and TimberTech Concealoc can be installed with a pneumatic gun cutting the install time by around 50-60%. Most pro lumber yards will rent or loan the gun out with the purchase of the fasteners. The Trex Universal hidden fastener sold through Lowe's works well but as stated, can be a bit of a pita to install until you get familiar with them. A quality composite deck screw for face fastening will be about half the price of hidden fasteners. The use of a quality deck screw designed for composites will eliminate the mushroom effect around the screw when properly installed and they come color matched so they can actually blend into the deck surface. Titan Split Stop is one of the better screws currently on the market.

Yes, TimberTech makes a product called DockSider that can span 24" on-center, it is 1-1/4" thick solid profile. Honestly though, it is much higher priced due to the amount of material required for the thickness, you would be better off to add the framing since you are likely at 24"o.c. Adding framing to 12" o.c. would be a fort of a deck and you could resurface it with anything. Many areas only require a permit for a full reframe or expansion.

I've been working for a composite manufacturer for ~10 years (TimberTech, formerly a Crane Plastics company), let me know what you are looking for and I can give you the pros/cons. As noted above, many of the cheaper brands have many performance issues that will show up in 3-5 years after installation. Lowe's is currently offering their own brand "Style Selections". This material is actually made by TimberTech where I work. It is a capped composite that offers much better weathering than traditional composites and carries a fade and stain warranty.It's actually a great bang for the buck product. The closest comparitive product is TimberTech Terrain. Mojoe, a dock can create a few issues that a standard deck won't incur but there are several products that will still work well. Give me any questions that you may have and I'll do my best to provide answers.

Agreed, imagine the mess that there would be if the roof was being replaced by "Chuck in a Truck" instead of a reputable, licensed, and insured company.

I might try to make this.

Great buy, wish I would have spotted this earlier. I'll jump in line as a 'cash in hand' buyer if any of the others that spoke before me decide they don't want it.

Never thought I would see a Bully doing agility. I'm obviously doing something wrong with our Bully.

Very nice Mike, please bring your camera in May LOL.

Hello new/old guy.....looking forward to catching up with you in May. Or you may be trying to catch me on the Dragon LOL.
