The Borg is back!
Hey all!
After laying down my '96 back in late 2012, I took some time doing other things. Although I've been saving for a Gen 2, I happened across a 2002 V-max with 6800 miles for $4000, and I just couldn't resist. It's almost brand new, with only a few minor scratches around the ignition, and a SLIGHT bit of discoloration on the radiator grille.Here's a pic:
As you can see, it's got a set of Cobras on it, - I like the look, and the sound is nice too. But I understand they are a bit power restrictive, so a Kerker from Sean Morley will replace the Cobras in a few months.
Meantime, I did a little video with my phone to capture the sound. Don't judge the shaky video, I wasn't really trying for a good shot, just testing the sound.

Since the sound is more than adequate for now, handling is the first order of business. To that end, I just ordered a set of Carrozzeria's in silver for the beast! Wife/accountant isn't too happy with the rapid depletion of funds, but she's thinking she might like a Max too, so lucky me!!
Wave rotors are also on their way. When the I purchase the Kerker I'll also be getting Sean's Muscle intake mod. There's not much he sells that I don't want!
When the Carro's come in, I'll be selling the stock wheels. As always, forum members get first dibs. They are silver, and I haven't seen any blemishes. Dunno about price yet, but I'll happily take offers.
Same deal will go for the Cobra slip-ons, but that's a few months out. I have to let the wife recover before I buy any more. Or else I might not!
ALSO... my '96 has almost 60,000 K on it, and I'm probably going to sell it for parts, once I get all the parts I put on it moved to the new one. It was laid down at about 20-25mph, it has case guards so about the only real marks are on the black exhaust where it was ground at the tip a bit. If anyone is interested message me, and I can send pics and more details. I don't have room to disassemble it, or I would.
