build diary

December 11, 2006: I've been having some fun on eBay.
On a tip from a motorcyclist, I decided to look for ZX-10R mufflers. They're a 162 hp bike with a single muffler - and it only weighs 375 lbs dry! Yikes. Turns out they have a similar flange on the back of the muffler as the Busa. I picked up an "experienced" version for $23.50. I might have a Triumph 955 muffler before too long as well.

I also won a suede 12" kart steering wheel. I have a 13" wheel on the car now and I'm curious about how the 12" will feel. I can make a simple adaptor to try it on the existing column. For $26, it was a really cheap way to get slightly quicker steering. You can never have enough steering wheels.
