'97 SJ project finally finished *56k runaway*

[sjaddicted]

Here's a before and after, I've spent the past 3months working on her, between working 40hours a week and taking classes at USF.

When the ski was white, it had a stock 700, b-pipe, real basic.

Now that the ski is blue, and since the motor blew up, which led to the whole restoration, she's now running a sport ported 753cc, dual pumper taperbore 38's (soon to be 44's), msd enhancer, b-pipe limited, hot rods crank, wiseco pistons, boysen dual stage reeds, riva reed spacer, Prok arrestors w/ outerwears, Jet Dynamics plate, Worx grate, UMI steering, ODI grips, Atwood 500, Tiny Tach.

My pops designed and sprayed the paint in our garage, all the mechanical work was done by myself, with some help from AK Racing.
Let me know what yall think.

Couldn't really tell ya, was having problems getting one of the fuel pumps to work, so while i was pulling the manifold I tore the spacer gasket. Once I get a new gasket, I'll let ya know if I notice anything now that the motor is running properly.

Yamasaki: my pops has taught me everything I know when it comes to mechanics.

I've got a spacer gasket you can have if you need it.

Where do ya'll usually ride? I'm usually out on the chain of lakes in Winter haven, my parents have a place out there and thats where I keep my ski.

We mostly ride at my place on a lake or dunedin causeway when there are waves. I'm selling my place so we won't be riding there much longer.

Ya'll will have to make a trip out to Polk County sometime, 16 lakes connected, and Cypress Gardens is on the same lake as our house.
