TheSloMoShow Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hey CR members--- I've found CR through a friend of mine Versluis who has had nothing but good things to say about the quality of members/info you can find here within the forums. I'm born and raised here in Columbus and originally, I have been intrigued by motorcycles and the need for speed from such, but have been looking into selling my '03 Trailblazer here this spring to go back to a car I can put some work into. I own a 2004 Yamaha R1 that I have been waiting to take to the track this spring (still waiting on a few minor things before she's track ready)--- off the top of my head a few things I have done to it include JE high compression pistons, RC Injectors, Graves velocity stacks, modded butterfly's, PCIII, 6" stretch, full Brocks exhaust and cams, Annitori quickshifter, Niagara ported head, and a 30-shot dry-shot Nitrous Express setup plus some aesthetic appeal (carbon fiber bits and such) to name a few. I have had a Pontiac Firebird in the past which I was able to add some typical bolt-on's too to increase performance a little (or to the extent that you can change up the performance on a Firebird lol) before I sold it a few years back after totaling it on the side of the highway. I have had the trailblazer since, but between missing out on that awesome feeling of having your 4-wheel baby and being teased by the thrill off just 2 wheels I do eventually want to get back into it. The switch won't be easy, so hopefully getting to meet some of you online or in person and see the day to day improvements some of you might make to your vehicles will help me dial-in on which route I want to go down. I'll include some pictures here of my R1 as well for all to see--- I've put alot of time and effort into her and it's for sure been 100% worth it. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/541/80rj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/21/mtve.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/198/7zy0.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/850/lnuk.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/5/nzzm.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/827/6khm.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
