yep... :shock:

1 full lap, and a touch of the next... they bumped the utv's in with the trucks and buggies, and I didnt have time to check every thing over after a 5 minute run in the desert! this is where pit help would have been handy, to look over stuff while I was belting up...

It handle great in hindsite! At first the rear end seemed loose, or like it was slidding out from under me. But it was just drifting as the kids call it! That will take some getting used to! The jumps were a new sensation too! Just seemed to flkoat back down to the ground and when it landed it was soft and sweet! The one section of whoops I went across was also smooth as silk! I think once I get all the loose ends cleaned up and fixed its going to be a great desert car/racer! Like afastcar said project ,umber 3

Well I have good news, and bad news!!! motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) works just fine with 130 psi compression on each cylinder...
I took the triple EEE to Jay at Desert Dog Off Road in Fountain Hills today and we tested the compression and checked the plugs!!! everything seemed ok.. good color and no shineys on plugs!!! compression was good, so we started it up... started right up but with a load noise and a squell, just like at the track...
the POS pipe has broken at the manifold, and the clutch gaurd that was chicken wired to the pipe was rubbing on the clutch...
Now the bad news...
I have to pay Jay to fix this mess... not what I really expected out of a $7800.00 purchase??? I was under the impression this was a custom fitted pipe done by KingKx, but after pulling the seat and seeing automotive exhaust pipe bent and fitted to these pipes I should have expected this to happen... My Bad huh

That just might happen!!! It is in the desert dog fab shop now getting patched up! I am down river from ya'll now in el paso! I am loading a piece that goes back to phx! And stays there for a week! I hope to have the buggy back by then! I then will try to catch up with hoser again in parker,az! Then we both might wind up at your river spot!!
