depends on how much you love riding. i NEED a bike for pressure relief. but then againt my fox only has 300 hp, not 500 like yours. if you dont ride it dump it. especially considering you have no turns where you live. the most joy i get out of my old bike was pushing it hard in the turn. sometimes too hard.

also, sell your wheels. you wont see that back when you sell it.

kind of what I figured. A side scheme is that if I sell the r1, the cobra gets a whipple 140ax, 19psi, & 600+ rwhp, as well as all the goodies to support it.

 

hmmm....no vids....never realized that but I've never shot one of my car. I can whore up a few pics if you like. Regarding the kb vs. whipple debate, that is one which will go on - f o r e v e r - . There are soo many pages of worthless drivel crap on svtperformance.com debating the two blowers but no clear cut winner, no conclusive info. It comes down to which one you like better and although kb makes a great blower, their customer service is bottom tier. I think a new 2.6L huffer would be nice but realistically, I like the looks of the whipple better & the 140ax will push 25psi...more than I'll ever need.

 

you would know more than me on the sc issue. hardware is hardware. the performance comes from the overall package. mainly tune. my goal this winter is to swap my tfs top-end onto a 351 shortblock. 400 hp in a stripped fox is enough for me. sounds like to me that you are all about the terminator. embarrass some c6's for us stangers

 

Do it. Eleglridr (I think) just did an 05 front end on his 02. Rear wheel no spacers needed in the front you do need em. Do a search, people have done. Or you can buy aftermarket.

02-03's are such good 'street' bikes. Throaty low end for a screamer motor.

As fas as the go down, I wouldn't trip. Look at the steering stops. If they are scored substantially then maybe be concerned, if not grab it...

 

holy s***. your sig is ginormous. how much $ you got in that bike?

 

I know its long... I think people hate me over it :lol

Not as much as you would think. 80% of the aftermarket part I bout pre-owned. My front rotors, calipers, and rearsets I paid $475 (Had to trade out my stock stuff in exchange). GP exhaust $40, Double Bubble $45. That brake kit new, $1700... I scored on most of my shit.

You get my drift... I just lurked on here hard, and other places and she's is now what she is.

Wait until you see my totally rebuilt (and I mean rebuilt) front end soon to be installed (carbon, ti-ni, oxy-ni, massaged fork, hard ano, etc...). Then we will have something to talk about...:lol

 

(boston accent) WICKED AWESOME. my dream is to have an MV in my stable. too bad the jap bikes are so wicked and cheap. i need pics of your mirrors. any links? pm cuz i dont want this thread taken away for a fellow stanger. thanks.

 

MV are the only Italian bike co to run In Line 4, screamer motors like jap bikes. My best friend has a Tamburini, the best in the MV line.

was seriously considering a brutale until i found the price difference from the r1. one of my best friends had a 748 duc and i hated riding that bike. way too loud(termignoni), uncomfortable, and way under powered compared to my 00 r1. first gear power ups were a flick up the wrist on mine. dont get me started on the maintenance. but i still crave an itailian bike to this day. i even fall for italian girls. i go to nyc once a year and fall in love with every italian girl i come across.

 

03cobra528,

Sell the street bike and get a dirt bike. Sounds like you live right in the middle of hours of endless offroad fun.

that I do. I have strongly considered a wr450 but there's nobody around here who has one & I prefer to be able to check bikes out before I buy them. I lurk over on thumper talk but it's just not possible to get a good feel for a bike from reading a website regardless of the number of reviews. I wouldn't have to go too far to ride considering we own ~10K acres that starts literally right out my front door.

I do love my stang though and 600+ rwhp wouldn't suck...

 

sell the wheels not enough of a selling point to get your money back, and don't worry about the scratches it will cost you more to get new plastics then to sell you bike with the scratches. sell your stuff and put the money into your car. good luck hope this helps

 

Here's what I did:

Reverted the bike back to stock as much as possible and sold all the aftermarket parts I could. Then, sold my '03 R1 and bought an '05 YZ-250F. If most of your riding is going to be trails and open country, go with a WR450. They're great bikes, and doesn't take much in "free" or low cost mods to get them to open up with some decent power.

I've got the '05 YZ-250F which I gave to my son, I bought a new in crate '05 TT-R125LE this spring for my wife, and at the same time bought an '07 YZ-450F for myself. I'm considering picking up a WR-450 now and turning it into a street legal motard which I could run on a local track most summer weekends when not on the MX track.. But, I've got other things to take care of first financially before that could happen. Who knows, by then I'll be ready for the full return to street and get my FJR-1300.

 

Well, looks to me as if you already made your decision, sell the bike since you dont ride anymore and sell the wheels separate, which is what I would do. You can even offer them to whoever buys the bike at a decent pricel.

As for your Terminator, lol I say go Whipple. Ive had my Whipple on for about 5K miles and I love it, I had a polished 2.2 KB and IMO the Whipple does look better. Its nice to have 600whp at your right foot, I love cruising the freeway and catching people off guard. Ive run several bikes, Vette's (including my Z06) and a few other fast cars and its always fun to see the look on their face when you blow by them

 

Lol, here is a short vid of my Cobra vs my buddies Cobb Stg 2 Sti. I dont know why he listed my car as 700 hp, but it was probably 650 crank hp there. I had just broke in my new clutch and he wanted to come out and play with me, lol he thought he was gonna hang with me I have several other vids too if you want to se them.

amonst other crazy projects i have on hold, i am trying to build my mustang, you can pm me some vids...for motivation, car sounds/looks good btw.

and to answer you question Mike, i would sell everything separate and leave the r1 like it is, nice bike...

 

quik z, what is your setup on your 03?

I haven't necessarily made my decision yet, but I'm definitely leaning away from the sportbike. Not sure why because I do love the things.....it's just so damn boring on pavement around here. Ironic I say that in one breath yet talk about building a high hp mustang in the next but I rode sportbikes for hitting the twisties. Unlike my brother, my stang is more of just a streetrod. My fiance has a triple black 99 svt vert & we like to hit some car shows together with our stangs. Although I roll on the same boring roads with the stang, it doesn't seem as pointless in the car....maybe because I know I'm wasting the bike's abilities here. I don't know.

oh yeah, more vids are good! I'm interested in seeing how mine will run if I go that route.

 

Are you staying 2v or going to the dohc setup? are you doing a full tub or just a mini?

 

actually didn't want to get too crazy with the motor wanted my mechanic to build/rebuild the stock 4.6 (cause car has a little over 100,000 miles), just want to make sure all the mods/money that will be in it, the motor wont take a dump on me with the addition of the supercharger...I don't really know exactly what he wants to do, he just tells me a price and what i will gain from it and i agree or don't agree (then go from there), told me it will be about $10,000-15 with all my connections, just on the motor and components needed for it (thought that was fair) all i want is 600+ rwhp (without nitr) and as reliable as possible in that horse power range...

as far as tub, waiting on a friend (who actually builds race trucks, the ones you race in the desert) to tell me exactly what he will have to do to fit the wheels (i know that's backwards, but only want to tub it to fit the wheels) and want it as low as possible...lots of ideas/dreams, no time/money right now...had the money to pretty much finish the thing over the next year or two, but due to unforeseen events, had to use my reserve

am actually intending on keeping this car, giving it to my son, when he turns 16, he is only 6, so i have the next 10 years to fine tune the thing, just wanna fully restore it to showroom/show quality and have something fast him and I can share fun in...

most of my cars have been newer, or very very old, so this is something that i dont mind cutting up and making it "my own"

 

I'l try to find or DL some vids, I'll send them to you guys as soon as I get them.

03cobra...Here is my mods list...Whipple 2.3, 3.5 Upper Pulley, 4# Lower Pulley, Kenne Bell Boost A Pump, Kenne Bell Throttle body, Kenne Bell Boost A Spark, LFP Heat Exchanger & Coolant Reservoir, Bassani Catback, Bassani Offroad X-pipe, JLT CAI, SCT XCal2, SCT 2400 MAF, P&P Lower Intake, 60# Injectors, FR500's
Heres a couple pix..

Sorry about the engine shot, I need a better pic with the whipple.

Here is another/better pic when I had my Kenne Bell

 

Lol, since I already hi-jacked your thread heres a pic of our Z06 which is going to be supercharged very soon..

Lol, ok back to the topic.

 

nah, hell man, cars are the topic. I have a big hard on for a 99 frc vette stroked/bored out over 400cid with a nasty h/c/i combo & some squeeze. Just can't bring myself to let the mustang go for a vette & I can't afford both.

You've got some damn good looking cars there

 

Sell her and buy a wr motard.
Still goes like hell.
Getting sideways on a bike rocks and you can jump the ****er.
I got an R1 and a wr250. to be honest the r1 rules if im at the track but for ****ing about around town you cant beat a dirtbike with street tyres.
You would also pocket a good amount of green selling the 1 and buying a wr

 

Here's another vid, im in it a few times
