CRTurboGuy Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I recently purchased a R1 powered Locost, just thought I'd stop by and say hello. --JOsh
pi7ot Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Welcome. My Birkin lived in CR from 2000 to 2008. Drive it like it is a motorbike. Other CR drivers have no idea... m

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. pi7ot said: Welcome.

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
DeanG Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 You look evil and your friend looks happy. Is the picture pre or post ride. I would bet pre.
CRTurboGuy Posted May 31, 2011 Author 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

slngsht Posted May 31, 2011 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.
pi7ot Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Saw you and the tail of your beastie on friday pm, Edgewood rd from HY-Vee access. :cheers: m
CRTurboGuy Posted June 6, 2011 Author 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
