Just saying hello
 
I've been reading the forums a lot, but never became a member. Just wanted to say hello to all. I have a 2003 silver Boxster S. Thus far it has a flashed ecu, short shifter, evo intake, Top Speed Exhaust, Front strut bar/brace, and the test pipes are on the way.

I take the car to the track often and find it to be the most fun out of anything I've ever driven/raced. I'm no professional, just a weekend track warrior. Lol.

I'm also selling my PSE if anyone is interested... see the classifieds.

Hello to all and thanks for making such a great forum. I've used a lot of information from here and have made a lot of decisions based off of the experiences shared. Hopefully I'll be able to add my own someday.

The prior owner had it done. It was completed at GMP Performance and is their EVOMSit upgrade. He also got the Evo intake there. He had an exhaust on the car at the time, but put the stock back on to sell it. I don't know what exhaust he had. He also put in the short shifter.

Nope... I just use first initial and shortened last name. Simpler to remember. Pic is posted. Simple garage shot since I was put on the spot. lol.

JBoe 05-03-2014 06:08 PM

Until it's approved, my classified isn't up. Let me know if you want pics of the PSE and I'll PM them in the interim.

Oh! Nice car/colour and all but somehow I prefer your Fireblade hidden in the back lol welcome to the forum ;)

He is mine. 204bhp. HRC everything... ecu, cams, lifters/springs/valves, balanced crank w/ GP prototype TI pistons. Only runs 116 octane and clocks 317kmph (196mph?). Makes the boxster feels like it was designed to go get fresh groceries only lol

Awesome bike, mine has the simpler mods. Intake, exhaust, sprockets, rear delete, etc. It may look like the big dog, but it's actually the little 250R. I got it after test riding a buddies non-repsol version. It was so much fun and light enough to toss it through the corners with ease. It's gutless, but so much damn fun. I'm a long time rider and have had several superbikes. This one is just for show n fun...

I've got my eye on a Ducati 899 Panigale in Artic White, but my wife is in need of a car first. Ahhhh... decisions, decisions. Lol.

There are several 986Forum members here in SoCal who track our cars often. Let us know what events you're attending in the Racing section so we can meet up sometime. :cheers:

JBoe 05-03-2014 08:52 PM

My company sponsors these guys and we have a group that attends their events at Willow Springs.

Home - Extreme Speed Track Events

Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend the May 10/11 events. I don't know when the next outing will be, but I'll post it up when I do.

Only Fred would call a CBR a Fireblade.

Youuuuuuu lucky bugger. If that's indeed a GP250 (Repsol) you got there I am not talking to you anymore. Those are fast as hell and like you said, nothing but great (additive) fun. Had the chance to try one back in the years when I was sponsored. 2 strokes, scary fast and agile (nimble?)

I'd buy a public transport card for your wife. Tell her you wouldn't want anything to happen to her while she is driving - love love love thing (then go get your Ducati) ;)

Hey, that's my car! You could spell my name from yours too!

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1399208854.jpg

As long as track bike pics are appearing, here's my 1997 Ducati SS/SP. Not "Firebird" fast, but 317 lbs., and more fun than should be allowed on 2 wheels!

Yes, I have driven with Extreme Speed several times - great group of drivers.

Noooooo no no no, NOT Firebird, it's "Fireblade"

Fireblades is the family name representing the RRs (or See-Bee-Err) 900, 919, 929, 954, and the 1000. RR, or Race Replicas of the famous GP winning RC211, RC212 frames/rake & swingarms prototype GP bikes.

Once modified up to Superbike specs (HRC +/- 200bhp), there is only a handful of riders worldwide who can properly pull them out of apexes without loosing their race line completely. Traction control or not, they are not for the faith of heart ;)

Faster lap times than the Carrera cup cars btw... just to put things into perspective. Respect the Fireblade! True Japanese rock&roll

Nine8Six 05-04-2014 06:46 AM

And it always starts on POLE position. Dunno why! That's David Sadowski (your once AMA Pro racing Champion) taking care of tire temp for me. Yep, he is one of those that REsPEct the Fireblade ;)

Fireblade Fireblade, Go Go Fireblades
