CRTurboGuy Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi; We need some pictures. Some specifications... Pics: Just prior to me buying it: http://josh.sitenation.com/images/locost/locost.jpg Giving a friend a ride: http://josh.sitenation.com/images/locost/me_n_jaydon.jpg Specs: 2003 R1 engine Quaife reverse box Toyota Supra rear end, cut down struts for front spindles +442 frame I think that about covers the basics. Welcome. My Birkin lived in CR from 2000 to 2008. Drive it like it is a motorbike. Other CR drivers have no idea... m I recall seeing you/it at a few Iowa Region autocrosses back in the day. As to the driving it like a bike comment, I ride a dual sport/enduro on the street, so I'm familiar w/ acting like everyone's trying to kill you. It transfers quite well to the Locost. --JOsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You look evil and your friend looks happy. Is the picture pre or post ride. I would bet pre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTurboGuy Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 LOL, yes, I do have a touch of the evil in me. And you're correct, this is pre-ride. He came back w/ a bigger grin on his face and his hair standing mostly straight up (I'll claim from the wind, though it could have been from the driving LOL) --JOsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slngsht Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm just starting on a R1 setup... Looked at that car but didn't pull trigger on it. Glad she's found a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRTurboGuy Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah, I met a friend of mine at the Wendy's up there for lunch and was headed back to work. It's been ages since I've seen your car around, last was a couple years ago I think, on 380 getting off down by the hospital if I remember right. --JOsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
