Hi all,

Have been a member for a long time but not a frequent poster.

Have decided to put a members ride thread up to let myself be known to some of you.

I picked it up for $1350 with RWC. Back in 2009.

This is what it originally looked like when i purchased it.

Since purchase it has gone through 2 engines and is currently on it's 3rd

1st engine spun a big end bearing 1 week after purchase

2nd engine lasted up until 2011 when it blew a headgasket and possible blocked injectors.

Current engine was rebuilt from ground up by a mate.

Had been ported polished all ports matched oversized pistons 1mm

engine has a lot more torque than standard gen 1 3sge.
This engine isn't dying anytime soon as it's being looked after and loving how it goes.
