welcome and happy modding. as you mentioned, do your research. the search button will tell you just about everything you need to know. :wavey:

 

that's mainly what I'm here for. Research and hopefully meeting some people to wrench on cars a bit with.

Oh and I forgot to mentio, I've been working on pretty much anything with wheels and an engine since I was 8yrs old, this isn't my first car, as a matter of fact I traded my first car(1995 Chevy Blazer LT 4dr 4wd) for the Eclipse.

My dad and I restored a 1930 Ford Model A, and its been tough to get me out of the garage since. Personally I own a 1987 Trans AM GTA(350 TPI V8, auto), 1968 VW beetle(resto in progress), 1940 Chevy 2 door sedan(hot rod in progress), 1976 Chevy K5, 1988 Suzuki Samurai(trail rig), and of coarse the '00 GS 5-spd. I own two motorcycles as well a 1979 yamaha XS1100, and a 1981 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim. I have the basic's of mechanics under my belt, what I don't know are vehicle specifics to the Eclipse.

Other then that I have done mostly resto's and classic hot rods. I've worked on a '52 Ford sedan that we swapped a Mustang 5.0HO drive train into complete with fuel injection, and a bunch of other projects just as insane as that. There's a 1929 Hudson Essex around our place, 1949 Plymouth sedan, 1956 Dodge pickup(going to be swapped onto a shortened 3/4 ton suburban 4wd chassis with a 6.2L diesel swap), 1957 Chevy 9-passenger Station Wagon with a 350 V8/TH350 swap, 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Short Deck Sedan, a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, 1965 Ford Thunderbird with the 390ci Police Interceptor engine.

I think that's all about me car related. Off to do some more research...:eek3::2008:

 

Welcome :wavey:

 

Welcome to the site.

 

Thanks.

I'm really into sports car racing and rally racing, trying to head into the custom automotive career path. Want to get a shop going or at least a car together and get into club racing. I'm thinking of moving somewhere where racing is around more.

Any one have suggestions on a city to head for that has a good racing/custom community? I'm thinking south, SC/NC/TX/FL something like that.

There is nothing here in Marquette, the car club at NMU is trying to get an autocross set up again for this summer but it will only be one race.

 

Welcome!! :wavey:

My New Project Build (Pictures) - XS11.com Forums
tell me what you think. im still working on it.

 

Very Nice! I actually like that rear fender, it will look pretty cool on the bike. I love seeing those old bikes revived. I wish more people had the patience and knowledge to do it.

I need to sit down and go through mine like that. Mine is a stock XS1100F standard, save for the 4-2 Jardine equal length tube header and Jardine muffler system on it. I love the exhaust on mine it sounds pretty damn good.
The main diff is the tank, mines square looking instead of rounded off and my bars are not pulled back as far.

I just revived it this summer from 14+ years of sitting in a barn disassembled. I cleaned the carbs put some fuel in the tank, changed the ignition module and she fired right up. Then of coarse I changed the fluids and did a tune up. Its a blast to drive, I need to sync the carbs and it should run like a million bucks. Shit had her up to 115mph just about scarred me shitless and still had plenty of throttle left:eek3:. haha

Good luck with your project! hope to see completed pictures soon!
