LOL, Right.....

so I got about 5 layers of color down tonite, now I just gotta wait for it to cure so I can clear it. Then paint some parts silver. I think she's looking good. I never wanna paint another thing in my life.lol The lighting sucks since I had to turn most of them off, was attracting bugs. Will get beter pics tomorrow.

 

[LIVE2RIDE Powersports]

Very nice color choice. LOL

 

[motoman96]

thanks, so far paint has only cost me 75. All I had to do is buy the clear, my buddy hooked me up with the color, reducer, hardener, and the silver all for free. So I figure it beats payin someone a few hundo to paint it. Its got a ton of metallic in it.

 

[motoman96]

Got bored today so I started putting the ski back together.lol I also took the B-pipe chamber to work and polished it up, thinking about pulling the ADA head and doing the same with it. Almost done....

nice work.

any reason why you picked the 10/16 hooker over the 9/15?

 

[motoman96]

I got the 10/16 for dirt cheap and it was brand new, still in the box. If anything I will have it re-pitched to a 9/15 if its too much. From what I have heard the 10/16 has just as much "pop", IDK, plan on ttaking it out thursday for a shakedown run to check jetting on this Riva carb. Either way, it will be WAY beter than it was in stock form.lol The OP steering nozzle sticks almost 2" past the rear of the ski tho, my balls are gonna be hating life. The new shredmasters are a thing of beauty tho, and it clears the bottem of the pump without any mods.

 

[just joe]

Very nice build bro, and nice job on the hull work.

I love sweet FX-1's.

 

[motoman96]

Finally done!! Just got my shredmaster on and OP steering nozzle. Now all I have to do is turf the rails. Oh, and install the groupK bigbore motor im picking up monday.lol She came out pretty good, gonna try and put it in the water Sunday

 

[motoman96]

this will be going in there, minus the red of course. With the girdled head, lightened flywheel and FPP! Should be fun. Hell, I haven't even ran my current motor but for maybe 5 minutes on the hose yesterday.lol

 

[MNTURBO]

nice engine! will you have to switch to a big bore ADA head? how many CC's is it?

 

[driftmaster]

If you have not done it yet. Put a couple by-passes on that pipe to dry it out a little. And if you do subs you will want to put back on the couple cover.

 

[motoman96]

Coupler cover an everything is back on, just got back a lil bit ago from picking up another ski an that motor. Havent had a chance to mic it. I have water injection for the ski, but don't feel like installing it. Just gonna run a FCV.
