Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?

If they are chipping its not a good powdercoat job. It shouldn't chip at all. I've got 4 sets of wheels I have powdercoated, 2 street sets and 2 track sets and I have one chip, and that is from a careless person I let borrow a set while I was powdercoating his wheels.

Bought them new that way.

Guess Chip Foose needs a lesson in PowderCoating

Yes, the new V4 Aprilia

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 12:15 PM

Dude...why did you have to kill my MOJO with that ugly car...that sucks...HAHAHAAHHA

Steve, big time buddy! I love TWINS!! Sold my 1098 Tri Color to buy that F'ing Exotic car and it was so damn pretty! Just too harsh of a ride, my back can't deal with that stance, too much to bear!

phelan · 12-23-2009, 12:17 PM

Someone's gotta stop you from pouring in all that cash!!!!

hahahaha j/k

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 12:21 PM

to be perfectly honest, not much any more

I was planning on putting a good amount down on this car but Nissan gave me super low interest with zero down so I put much of it back into the car.

You know what bro... With selling the stock hood, stock wheels, brakes, Nismo exhaust etc... I'm not really out a terribly large amount of $. The stereo system was the only big out of pocket expense and Marco arranged a huge hook up deal on the paint so not too bad.

I'll sell a couple things to recover the rest, maybe the wife....HAHAHA Kidding!!!!!

Haha, I used to sell Aprilias, MVs and Ducatis. The RSV Factory was one tough beast to ride for more than about 15 minutes. My back would get pissed! Never mind my wrists.

I hope you realize the new Aprilias are V4's, no longer twins!

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 12:57 PM

I do my friend, that's why I posted the '07. The new one is more then I can afford right now so I still like the older ones.

Call me an idiot but we used to have a TL1000R Blue Board, much like this one. Guys were great and because of that I opened MotoExtreme. So many great stories from that chapter in my life. My right hand guy at work still has a prestine TLR and bought a ZX6R last week for the track.

I used to have 3 bikes in my office. Our CEO who happens to be like a brother to me begged me to get rid of them so I did. Bikes are sooo hard to kick! I think about riding all the time and am certain to get another one soon just to screw around with. If the Desmo keeps coming down in price then I may go that route, its a pretty amazing bike to ride, too bad it came out at the worst time it could of been introduced. Thing tanked in value!

Here's todays update...well on its way for a Makeover

My Windshield washers don't work anyway, suppose I should remove that big tank of fluid huh?

Rickey89 · 12-23-2009, 06:48 PM

im soo excited for this build and its not even my car,

moto you make me jealous.

tt it btw, just my two cents. but that would cost more but sheesh no expense spared on this project it looks like.

those wheels are niice, usually not a fan of the color. but i think it will be pretty sweet looking on your z. cant wait for more pics. and yes if the pics are taking too long ima bug you about it on this thread. soo just a heads up

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 06:59 PM

I've decided to go for lightweight.

I'm removing anything I don't need.

Passenger seat...Gone
Brakes...Gone
Seatbelts...Gone.
Savings.....Gone
401K.....Gone.
Keep Spending....Wife Gone

Kidding...
