I have $2500 and I am going to be making an investment in the near future.
I will be taking one of two paths
#1- H22a Motor, Tranny, ECU($2000), 5spd tranny swap(approx $500)
and my boy has a turbo connection that gives him one everytime he asks(free)
all I would need to pay for is the piping,IC,BOV. so If I choose door #1 then a turbo setup will follow in a few months

#2- 2001 White Yamaha R6 w/ 4,000k miles($2500)..Cleeeaaaaannn

so there you have it..my debate w/ myself, please let me know what you would do w/ the money. and no there is no other options. Im doin # 1 or 2..


Thanks

 

#2 for sure!

with #1 you wont have any return for it in the future but with the bike u can always sell it and get some of ur money back.

 

2. definitely.

like ^ said. It's going to be extremely difficult trying to make back even a little of the money from a turbo project.

 

#2 It'll be much more fun too.

 

I'm scared shitless of bikes....only because I know I'm a speed freak....

 

1... the CL is safer.

fuck a bike, that shit is becoming a fad anyway.

 

#1, bikes are way too dangerous. Think of how that CL will sound and feel with the 5 speed. Besides, bikes are fair weather friends. You can't ride them safely on wet pavement, and people just are not careful. You could get smacked by some jackass. There was a thread about a guy who was cut in half after crashing at 100+ miles an hour. If I remember right, it even had pics, pretty fucking grusome.

 

IBpoll

 

#2.

the bike or car would be a back up just in case

 

#2, but if it was me id h22 cuz im only in hs lol

 

I wouldn't consider either an "investment." Go with the turbo H22, bikes are too dangerous.

 

^ the man has spoken wisely.

 

choice 1

becuase i have 2 bikes and i know how sick of them i get.. but never get sick of my car going fast

 

bike. i myself am workin towards this nice 99' ducati 996r at a friend of mines shop. he only wants 5gs for it and only 9,500 miles. but considering its almost winter, id go for the swap. either that or another banshee for snow ridin.

 

definitely the H22...death toll on bikes is too damn high for me to fuck around with...and the improvement in the upgraded engine would make any man smile =)

 

well, if u pick #1, you'll go pretty fast. BUT if u pick #2, you'll get the sexay ladies ;x and if u pick #2, be nice and share the ladies with us!

 

1 most definately you know how people drive in Jersey especially Bergen County f*** the bike and go for the swap..

 

Do the h22 / turbo. Bikes are dangerous, and like plat said, u'll jack it up in jersey

 

thanks for all of your opinions..I still cant make up my damn mind but I am considering all the things u guys said.
as of now I am leaning towards my car..I dont know if I want to trust myself on a bike yet, I'm a bit of a speed freak(like cocoa said) and I think I might kill myself in a couple months.

 

Go for the motor man, I've known too many people that died on bikes. Not just you being a speed freak u have to worry about, it's the other retards on the road.

 

Exactly the biggest thing you need to worry about is chicks in big SUV's yapping away on the phone and switching lanes while you are riding. JUST DO THE SWAP!!! If you need a shop to do it , I know one in Elizabeth.

 

Ask people you know about getting a bike, just about everyone you ask will know someone that was either killed or severly injured on a bike. Well, at least thats what kept me from getting one.

Get the engine, cars keep you dry and safe.

 

obviously 1, cuz you can drive it winter or summer

and you'll probably kill urself on a bike

 

take the Capones off after u do #1 though, they are gonna mess up your performance.

 

you think??
They only weigh 5more lbs each than stock.. and I can take turns pretty quick w/ em.
the nitto450's are pretty serious

 

very true..killing myself I could handle, but lying in my grave knowing that a soccer mom in an expedition took me out would get to me.

<------ Besides who would take care of my kids

ok...I have made my mind up.. H22a here I come...

 

yet another h22 CL...give me time and i will be in the h22 CL club
