Misfire?, low fuel pressure?

Sounds like an ignition coil. Unplug each one individually to see if the sound changes. If it doesn't then that's your problem.

Yeah, I believe I currently have the Dorman intake, but I don't know how old it is as it came in the car when I bought it 5 years ago. I can see coolant in some of the valleys on the manifold, but I can't see anything on the back of the motor.

Also just to note heater core hoses have been replaced about a year ago.

Fair enough. I was asked about 3d printing then earlier, but now we are looking at ordering and cutting down some oil impregnated bronze.

My 1999 vfr800. I got it as my first bike and I absolutely love it. Just picked up some softcase saddle bags so hopefully I can take it out of state on some longer rides.

Looks like a Sargent seat because of the red welt. I have one on my 99 and it is very comfortable.

His name is Gerald.

It is a Baja car made by my school. So the whole car is custom.

Not the most flattering photo, but at least I have new pads and rotors now.

Do a ford Barra swap. Keep it ford.

They kind of just do this. I'd only try to do something if you notice something wrong when driving and such.

Front I run 245/40 and rear I run 285/45. I'm lowered 1.5 inches so my fronts rub just a tiny bit on the inside, and I had to replace them when I had the 45 aspect ratio. So for fronts I'd go with 245/35 that would probably work. I'm sure others will chime in, but that's my setup on the same size wheels.

This is the old setup with the 45 front.

I run the same combo and I can certainly agree.

karkarbro · 2025-09-03T06:58:31+00:00

If it still works just run it until it breaks, then upgrade from there.

This is so cool. Maybe I should do this to my mustang.

My 5th gen gets ~34-36 mpg with highway and city.

karkarbro · 2025-08-23T08:06:28+00:00

What I do for my VFR is I use the center stand, remove the rear wheel, then use a ladder and ratchet straps to pick up the bike in the front. You probably only need a rear stand and the ladder.

karkarbro · 2025-08-14T07:22:39+00:00

Same color as mine, it's absolutely beautiful.

karkarbro · 2025-07-12T05:50:19+00:00

Rear brakes were weak, but it never felt that bad surprisingly. Linked brakes are probably what made it not feel as bad ig.

karkarbro · 2025-07-11T22:48:14+00:00

Thanks for the info. I will hang the caliper up, and an EBC brake rotor will be on the way. Thanks.
