DeeDubbs Motor Swap

I'm thinking about doing an engine swap. Im pretty tired of the 1.3 liter we have and the 50/50 balance is a joke. Why not change that up and swap in a 48 cylinder engine!




haha j/k

if i was a mod. i'd edit deedubb's post to:

I'm thinking about doing an engine swap. Im pretty tired of the 1.3 liter we have and the 50/50 balance is a joke. That engine has nothing. Time for some torque. I got this 48 cylinder block in my garage that's guna make it's way under the hood.

and edit out the 'haha j/k' part

I like the fact that there is a fire extinguisher in the first pic like 3 feet from the bike - kinda like he's expecting it to go up in flames at any moment...

I never had the GPA needed to get a hall monitor job in school...so I guess I'm trying to make up for all the missed opportunities in the past

I like the bike...maybe it would look better with a better looking model, with arms long enough to reach the handlebars....or maybe with a JDM Nalin bodykit.

a post count is where you spin around in circles and fall into a patch of cacti.
