Toomey Banshee

I have both, CPI's and T-5's. If you plan on port work, bigger carbs etc. go with the CPI. Pro Circuit makes a very good pipe. I would just run the Pro Circuits until you get it ported and then buy some CPI's. IMHO the gains are minimal, depending on your riding style, between Pro Circuit and Toomey. If you can find someone who wants to trade, then go ahead. If not just stay with what you have.

Damn it!! I knew I should have thrown on a towel! Anyway, it does boil water good.

I got burns on both my legs from my T-5's. Burns on top of scars on the left leg. THe sound of your flesh sizziling on the pipe as your turning or coming off a jump really makes you sit up and pay attention. Needless to say I ride in pants now, no more shorts, I dont want to even THINK what the CPIS are capable of.

YUp, I just ordered one too. Should come in handy when I finally get around to doing my sons top end on the 99.

start in second. Pop the clutch and you should smoke both of them.

Too high. I am not interested but your asking price is way to high.

I have to say. I had a 1980 Vette like the shee you have, shelby. Whenever I fixed something, something else just broke. I had it for a few months and the motor blew. I threw in a new LT1 motor and a rebuilt trans with a shift kit in and it ran strong for a month or so. Then the front end went so I squared that away, then it started to run hot, I threw in a new super cooler water pump, it still ran hot but then the electrical started to f*ck up. Got that fixed and the mufflers went,(which I knew needed to be replaced, so this really doesnt count). After that the vaccum assisted headlights just decided to stop working, fixed that. At this point the T-Tops got stolen while the vette was sitting in my driveway. Got another set. Then the power windows decided not to go up. Fixed that, which by the way was a nightmare, then the armrests both seemed to pull out at the SAME EXACT TIME!!! Redrilled them in and finally the absolute last straw, the freaking power antenna motor broke. Drained the battery. I know, not a big deal, throw in a regular antenna, but why? Something else will break, it will blow up, run me over, spit boiling anti freeze on me, whatever. So I said, like you, "thats it, no more" and sold it. Never regretted it for a heartbeat. There are probably a million 1980 Vettes out there that are the poster child of being a Corvette. They are, in my opinion the best looking of the bunch. The 80 had a nice body and was still carberated, not a whole lot of electrical bullshit to mess with, but I had a "lemon". Thats probably what you have. The shee is a reliable, fun beast to own, I have two. Maybe in a year or so, get another and you'll see. Then again maybe not. I have had nothing but good times and fun on the shees I own. They are pretty easy to work on and are a blast all on to themselves to ride. Sell this one, get another and see what happens. I doubt you'll be disapointed twice.

pics?

chrome rims? What kind of tire?

I've never done it either. Thats why I'm trying to read everything out there before I do. It gets confusing, believe me. Good luck with the shee. The Vitos pistons are supposed to add a noticible performance gain. Let us know how much of a gain you notice.

Hey congrats. Sounds like its gonna be a fast shee. Is there a reason you went cast instead of forged? I want to rebuild my sons shee and from all the reading and research I have done, all on this site, they say forged is usually more durable. Just asking, I want to get all the info I can before I start his. Good luck with your "new" shee.

I bought a pair of YFM 80's about 8 or 9 years ago just to have. Let the kids ride them and I putted around on em as well. No suspension, good little bikes though. Then the group I ride with all moved into Blasters, Hondas with suspension (man I thought that was the shit, SUSPENSION!) So I bought a TrailBlazer for the wife and I, and I kept putting around on the 80 with my oldest son on the other 80. Mostly in some small trails behind my old house. Camping, not anything big. Then the shit really hit the fan. I caught the bug, 2 of my friends bought Banshee's, I rode one and the next week I bought my 99 new. After that it has really been a blur. Bought another shee, a Blaster, mini Raptor, wife still puts around on the Trail Blazer and I even have one of the YFM 80's still. Not running though. Gonna fix it up and sell it for some stuff for, whatelse the SHee.

Nobody? Nobody has rear chrome rims with good Razrs or the equivilant in great shape?! These V-Force are almost new.

Must be in excellent condition. The V-Force II's are. Have about 10 hours on them. Send me a pic of the rims and tires, and we can talk.

Candy purple. But then again I'm biased.

In good shape only. If you have em send me a pic.

Unbelievable! I couldn't stop laughing.

Outstanding about the Passion motor. I need to start thinking about doing Lukes' motor. I would like to see it perform. I heard Jim does a beast of a motor. Anyway, next weekend, I'll bring down the crew, including Bubba (lol) and we'll have some laughs.

Sounds good Will. I'll get in touch with you by the end of the week and we'll square the plans.

You around next weekend? Would like to ride up your way, bring crazy Jack and his 3 wheeler with me as well. If not, your wlecome to come down this way. Let me know.

22's will be fine. Whats your elevation? You can go down to about 20's at Sea Level and still be able to run pump fuel, although 20's may be pushing the envelope a bit. Also 280's sound a bit small for your mains. I run 320's in my 99 with pretty much the same mods you have.

Replace that air filter ASAP. After that the skys the limit. Pipes, tires, cool head, reeds, porting, polishing, so much to do, so little money. You'll see.

Hmm, 21. Outstanding, congrats. I was 21 17 years ago. It truly has flown by, I still feel about 18 though. Stan, time share in Hawaii is about right. If so you can count me in. Anyway have a great puke fest tonight Led. Be carefull and have a blast at work tomorrow.

Yup Will, you got that right. That is an outstanding wine glass holder.

Anybody see these commercials from Reebok? Real F'n funny. They have em on their website and I just laugh my balls off everytime I see em. Real good. Must see.
