WTT: Ducati 1098 2007
So I'm looking to go back to school next year and I don't have a vehicle. I'd like to get myself a zippy FD3S. Yes, I watched too much Initial D. Bought a 2007 STi way back and sold it after getting too many tickets. With the 1098 at least the tickets are optional... in a way.
THE BAD http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_0058.jpg This is moments after hitting an oil slick at 35-40mph. This was about a year ago. The plastic was obviously damaged and the clutch was destroyed. The grated clutch cover was a cheap part put on by original owner and didn't protect clutch. Anyways, I trailered her home and spent 4 months saving and working to rebuild her. THE GOOD She runs great, no gashes in frame, no bends or tweaks, runs straight, sounds wicked! I never replaced the right side mirror but I hate dog ears so it wasn't a priority. Even has a proximity sensor alarm. Scorpion model which cost like 400-500. Beside a complete disassembly she got some new parts as well. The clutch assembly was replaced. The cover is now a super beefy beautiful Woodcraft. The grips are D3 grips. Plastics have been replaced and the rear tail has a small scuff which could just use some paint. I have the decals 50 for after the tail is painted for re application. Lowwer plastic, black in pictures, is now carbon fiber weave. New radiator (not a result of accident but a recall) and the exhaust has been cored and the butterfly valve ommitted with a special little cnc'd metal piece so it won't trip an engine code. Due for a service interval and currently resting in my garage. Also bought a new battery for her. HERE IS WHAT I'M WANTING I'm feeling for possible trades. I'd like a 3rd gen rx7 ready for autox but still street legal. Will also be interested in stock rx7 and I can autox prep it as I go. For right car I would add cash for sure. Any questions feel free. I don't check on here often but I will update the email to this forum and turn on notifications. Thanks! Here are some more pictures with descriptions. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_0076.jpg Starting the process of dressing her down. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_0109.jpg At the time of this undertaking I put her in my living room. Great being single... well then. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_0132.jpg Clutch after the damaged one was removed. Current clutch is a Barnet. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_2800.jpg In all her glory renewed. Still needs some small finishing touches but she is a beauty none the less. |
