One from Texas to Errington Vancouver Island and one from Texas to Camp Morton Mb (mine). We'll see who wins.


We can pass the time waiting for our pipe's.

With our USPS snail mail you might have a faster race if you strap on Lance Armstrong's back personaly and tell him to pedal his leg's off.
LOL you are probaly rite, but it will only take as long as it takes to get to us.


moo, your pipe has 1975 miles to go


mine only has 1253 miles to go.

I just got my sprint pm telling me our pipes are on the way. I bet you get yours first...my mail service is somewhat slow to say the least and I cheaped out and got standard delivery did you get express,


I got my ss pipe welded up and just fired it up to run in the back yard went to drive out the shop and hmmm steered perfect on the stand....bleedin set my steering servos in reverse...d'oh...so had to quickly change some settings (epa's changed when I reversed cos of my subtrim)...now it's dark so will get some vid tomorrow. here's the finished steering install and new pipe mount... batt and rx box I stuck down with 3M vehicle trim tape , it must be at least 500mph tape , been using it in the fg and it's not only waterproof but fuel proof too!

being a uk import I'm with you on the "A" thing...but in certain parts of limey land...the yokel parts, they'd also say "AAy" (usually chewing on a bit of straw and wearing bib overalls....did someone say deliverance?) and I'd always answer bee, cee go jump in it:D and then run like hell !!!

moo, that pipe looks not bad. You banged er back into shape.


That cage is going to be great, I think I will sell my JP with the rear support I made. If you buy a HBZ roll bar I will make you up a front/rear support if you want? One that compliments the sprint77 pipe. lol


I went to the shock tower with my front cage and the back I am going to do the same thing.

Yes there will be pictures and video:D


Hellya I always wanted one from the beginning but couldn't find a cheap core now sprints supplying the pipe and modding it for only $14 more than the pipe costs new it was too good to pass on. T


The ss pipe I got works good but doesn't have the bottom end punch yours has(I should say ours now) it's a bit more top end.

Hellya, I tried bidding on so many of them on e-bay, and never won a single one, it seems in the last few minutes people will pay what a new one is worth. I am with moo, it is hard to pass up the price is great and the quality of workmanship looks outstanding.
