As far as handling i have been searching around threads here to see what guys have done since the 08 is different. i havent really found anything that most would agree on. it seems as the aftermarket is catching up bc i am now noticing plates and grates designed for 08+, so for now i am gonna leave it stock til some others spend the money to find the best setup!!!!

Thanks man, just put 2nd layer of glass down as well as reinforced tray ( hold to hold). Gotta wait for it to cure then i will throw down the 2nd layer on foam holes and safety tail spray hole.

Then it will be on to mat and turf (Not looking forward to this at all):thumbsdown:

take your time when you turf...

i think its best to turf with two people... do the two gunwales, then bottom, then dash last.

Bluegtate and I based our turfing technique from onesojourner's how to turf without seams thread. He uses rods b/c he was by himself, but if you have a second person, their hands kinda act like the rods.

and here are our latest results...

I got a kit with the holds from blowsion and it recomends to do the bottom first, sides. then dash.

Probably just personal preference, either way i know its gonna be a PIMA!!

my personal preference is that I can't see any fiberglass through the seems while I stand in the tray.

the 08 sj already has a low pitched ss impeller and higher compression straight out of the crate from yamaha.

Higher compression? Really??

 

[WaveDemon]

Higher compression? Really??

yep, I tested it myself

I got some more things done while the site was down. Fixed and finished glass, reinforced tray hold to hold, foamed and rough cut undermat and layed out (formed to my feet with 25mm Plush) and then standard in holds to fit my feet and shoes. Got to sand up the edges for smooth transition between thicknesses and then glue down (might get it done tonight). Here are some pics.

My First Turf Job

So i finished up the turf in the tray (still gotta do rails). I am thinkin and hopin its gonna be a lot less aggrevating. Ended up doin it all myself (HotdadefJeff kept coming up with other chit to do around his house). What do you guys think?

Im gonna knock the rails out tonite then move on to fittin in the cakers fronty tomorrow.

Then its on to the engine compartment!!!!! More my style of work.

Installed Pancakes FFH, MSD Enhancer, b pipe, ADA head, halfway done with fuel and cooling lines (waitin on FCV and jets and springs) to finish carbs and cooling.
