GTS Wheels

    Has anyone polished their wheels ... or found a product that keeps em looking good without buffing em all the time?  I cleaned mine up about 3 months ago with some metal polish (semichrome maybe) and they look terrible already.  What's the hot set up here? Mike Cordon '94 GTS '86 Toyota Van

Good Testing Ground For ABS

2000-01-09 Thread Mike
    Last night, I found myself on my GTS motoring across a grass covered area of a local park.  Since it was dark, cold, and the grass very wet, I was riding as if it were an ice rink.  So I decided it'd be a good place to test the ABS brakes.  The rear ABS worked, sorta a firm depression of

Go to one of the discount stores and get a CHEAP pair of needle nose pliers. With a torch, heat the ends of the jaws at least red hot and use another pair of pliers to bend the last 1/8" of each jaw 90 degrees out (away from the other jaw). Cool the jaws. Insert the jaws, while closed, into the

every DMV is a little different. Shawn you are going to have to check with the NY DMV. In west virginia people register 2 stroke closed course dirt bikes. Kinda interesting to pull up to a stop light along side of a KTM 300EXC (seems to be the bike of choice.) Louis On Sun, 9 Jan 2000 15:19:39
