Getting the new sneakers on with spoons, can be done without scratching them. A lot of heat, lube, rim protectors and patience. As I said it can be done, might not be easy. Getting them off without scratching them, well that's another story. I don't know why but rubber removal is not my Forte so to speak. The No-Mar tyre tool isn't in my budget right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to need to wait for an above freezing day and let the propane heater run for a good bit of time in the garage with the tires getting blasted by heat. I have a tendency to have a spoon “let loose” and rattle around on the inner rim I think I am going to cut out an old piece of carpet almost the diameter of the rim to lay it on top. I need new protectors as well. Lots of patience indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky a few years ago and bought a used No-Mar "classic" from a guy that was getting out of racing. It came with the balancer, weights, and EVERY hand tool to mount/balance tires. I picked it up for $500. Now, I actually look forward to changing tires. Having the right tool makes all the difference.

phanomenal07 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Installed hord power airbox. And being that I have no confidence in my mechanical skills I am now terrified to turn the engine on. Luckily I don't have the ecu back yet 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pain but once I accepted the fact that the airbox inlet was rubber and the throttle body was metal I was able to just tilt the throttle body up with some muscle. Then removing the intake manifold was a breeze and the airbox just slide right out once you unplug all the connectors from the throttle body 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted January 27, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2020 Shopping around for some fuel injectors for my boosted e85 build... and a new turbo exhaust flange to run a bigger 3in exhaust pipe... FZ-07 fuel injectors are kids meal sided 250cc... good enough to run approx 7psi of boost on premium pump gas... I need mighty kids meal sized 650cc injectors to run e85 since e85 uses approx 25-30% more fuel vs pump gas... The injectors I need, are OEM Kawasaki H2 injectors Current turbo exhaust flange: Red circle- location of internal wastegate- Gonna upgrade to this style of flange for turbo exhaust pipe: Fully open style oval- way less restricted flow for internal wastegate... will weld an "oval to 3in" adapter to flange to run turbo exhaust pipe Edit: removed picture of product from a "shady" retailer of parts ... I dont wanna advertise the company name... 3 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted February 5, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 I spent time this afternoon replacing previous Cyclops 7K LED upgrade with the Atoplite LED replacement housing. I checked the box to get 10% digital coupon to get it for $315. I'd forgotten to unplug my GPS after my last ride and wasn't able to test ride it yet while my battery charges. Installation was barely harder than replacing the H4 bulb except having to swap over the turn signal brackets to the new headlight assembly. The halos hook up to the factory amber accent connector and the hi/low LEDs plug right into the factory H4 connector. The only "wiring" required is if you want to use the optional integrated amber turn signal function which requires a simple butt splice (included in the package) into the green and brown. left/right positive cables. It was actually easier than hooking up the Cyclops since there's less protrusion that needs stuffed behind the headlight housing. UPDATE: Battery charge cycle has completed and the headlight works without issue. I still need to get a night time test drive. 2 DewMan Just shut up and ride.

If you get them new try Partzilla or wait it out a used set. They were a PIA to install with my Graves for what it’s worth. FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
