This video is on several firearm related boards I frequent. Word has it that the video was staged. I can not verify if it was or not. The discussion on the gun boards are on whether or not one would be justified in the use of lethal force (shooting his ass) if you were a bystander. It depends on the laws governing use of lethal force in that particular state (and of course the judge hearing the case). I have a carry permit here in PA and carry every where I go. Armed 24/7, so to speak. Again, depends on the state laws. In Kommiefornia, er, I mean California (which is wear the video was filmed, I believe), chances are you'de be looking at man slaughter if you (a bystander) killed that guy.

Who Re-jets for Winter Weather
TurbochargedOne replied to TurbochargedOne's topic in Jetting & Exhaust Forum
So much for Toomey's "Perfect Jet Kit". I'll pick some more main jets up; I guess 310 thru 370 and see what happens. We have a saying in drag racing, too..."leaner is meaner". -
I'm in Lords Valley right off of RT. 84. Not all that far from you guys. We definately need to get a crew together.

Swapped the 280s out for 300s and it seems to really like them. ProCircuit ships their pipes out with 280s and recommends leaving everything else stock. I think i'll probably have to up the mains a little more if it gets colder out, but as of right now the quad seems to be happy with the 300s. I ran it to 5th wide open in every gear and it pulled strong throughout the powerband. I'm pretty sure the needles are fine at the 4th clip position, just a matter of perfecting the mains. So, if you think the 300s aren't enough, where do you think I should go from here? Should I just keep going up in the mains until it starts bogging under WOT? -
stclark04, You're a gracious dude. I gonna take your advice and go with NYUK's deal. He's even in the same state as me. NYUK, PM me your info so I can get a money order out to you buddy. Thanks guys!

PM inbound.

I'm looking for a set of front fender brackets for my Banshee. Crappy paint is OK but I don't want anything bent. When I bought the quad it had race-cut front fenders. I like the full fender look better but they are flapping in the wind because I don't have the front brackets. Thanks.

Seems everyone always has some sort of an excuse not to go riding. Granted, priorities do take presidence over riding. I'm a single parent raising a 2 year old boy. Believe me, I know how it is. It's still nice to get out and ride with friends and family when I get the chance, though. Anyone here in the northeast, PA area?

Ok, back on topic... Took the carbs off today to see what mains are in them and also adjust the needle clip position. Mains are currently 280s and the needles were in the 3rd (stock) position. I moved the needles to the 4th position and put everything back together (dealer closed before I could get there to pick up main jets). Big difference. There is a slight hesitation at just above idle when cruising so I will probably have to adjust the airscrews and more than likely adjust carb sync. Above that slight hesitation, the freakin thing rips! I was careful not to go WOT while testing after adjusting the needles so I could get an accurate idea of what she felt like between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle. It will loft the front end in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th (no room for 6th gear) at 3/4 throttle, no problem. I think going to the 4th clip position was the way to go. Now, seeing that it gets quite cold around here in winter and my riding elevation is only in the 460-1300ft range, I really think 280s are going to be too lean for the winter. Looks like I will at least be trying a pair of 290s and go from there. -

The T-Type is stock from the throttle body to the oil pan. It runs a bigger turbo, intercooler and injectors (with a second inline fuel pump). it also has a 3" THDP and Hooker exhaust. Engine-wise, it's as stock as it came in 1987. The GN has more go-fast goodies, but still runs many stock parts. The heads are stock castings (ported), lower intake manifold is stock (ported), block is factory (bored .030" over and o-ringed), rods are stock, crank is stock, pistons are forged. The turbo, intercooler and fuel system are much larger than stock and it also runs Accel DFI. Both cars can be driven daily. The T gets in excess of 20mpg and the GN gets around 18mpg. Both cars will idle all day at 900rpm in 100* heat and not care one bit. The GN will light the tires up from a 60mph roll and keep them lit until you get off the throttle. The T is also traction limited at speed, but less so than the GN. Either car can get away form you if you're not careful. The GN is currently getting a TH400 trans (both cars run the factory issued 2004R trannys (though beefed up considerably). The GN is also getting a bigger turbo and injectors. It should go somewhere in the 9s. Back on topic...I don't have the stock air box lid. I'm supposed to go riding today with a couple guys. It's a little warmer today (68*) and rainy (humid), so I think it should be ok. Gotta get my hands on some main jets! -

Thanks for the pics! -
Because i'm sure that "post-ban" AR15s (as in the ones without the evil features) are still on dealers shelves. I know my local dealer has a few that are collecting dust. Who would want a Klinton era AR when it's perfectly legal to purchase a new AR15 with all the original goodies on it? Now, if I could pick up a "neutered" AR for substancially less than a new one, i'd go for it. But it would have to be for HUNDREDS less. I would then just add the features to the rifle at a savings.

I run a THDP in the T-Type, not the GN. -
Very tempting. PM me a price on a "pre-ban" configuration Varminter.

Generally speaking, how many jet sizes richer does one go for winter weather? Naturally I realize that there are many factors, i'm just looking for a starting point. Let's assume that the quad was jetted for spring/summer riding. No, I don't know what main jets are in the carbs right now. Engine Mods are... Pro Circuit Platinum pipes/silencers No airbox lid and Pro Design air filter V Force reeds And I am also assuming that it is indeed the main jets that will be changed (since we are talking WOT)? -
It's getting cold in my neck of the woods, and my Banshee is starting to notice it. It's starting to get what seems to be a lean hesitation when shifting under heavy throttle. Who here re-jets for the winter and who just leaves the jetting the same? If you do re-jet, how much richer do you usually go?

If you guys could post pics of your +2, +3 and +4 Banshee's, i'd appreciate it. Just want to get an idea of what they look like to compare.
