You hang in there girlie. I just got my exhaust yesterday and hope to have mine running this weekend. You will be really happy with the way it turns out but I understand your anxiousness.

My honey and I worked on it together, it was my first project.

Promise.

wow i wish mine was done that quick, we have had so many complications and had to order so many parts, its been a few weeks now and we are almost ready to paint. My man is so good at this stuff, i have no idea either, for him its second nature, for me its no fun lol. But it will be done and i will be soo happy, and yes yes i have shed a few tears myself lol.

I kinda went through that too...and when it was done I decided that I liked doing projects like that afterall............when you see the finished product you're like, woah, I did that!!! And then you begin to figure out what else you can tear apart and "fix" lol......



drtygrl: diggg the yellow :) just a question...why'd you change the color? To be different?? I changed my stuff because nearly every honda has got red on it and I, in all honesty, thought the quad was fugggggglyyy hahhaah

Try having to tear into a fairly new one.....04 YFZ450's had all kinds of problems with the first batches......waterpump problems, charging problems, cranks siezing up.....been through all of it but it was all worth it because now I know it inside and out

Sorry, I'm not DrtyGrl but I have an answer for you!
We changed colors for a couple of reasons. Just about every Rhino around here looks the same. The full Bore body kit has a way more aggressive look to it. She wanted pink!(thank god they don't make pink plastics) She also has a 4 point harness that I mounted for her. We're are slowly turning it into a race machine.

The next thing we will do is probably a K & N filter. After that will be the super chip. Once we get our toy hauler we will consider the long travel A arms. It won't fit in our current trailer if I make it any wider.

This is some C.O.R.R. SxS racing practice.
