Fit like?

Post by gn2 »

How's it going out there in the worldwide PCX land?
Anyone managed to crack the ton on an overbored-turbo-nitro-JCosta-ed PCX yet?

Nope, didn't think so.

I learned recently that Michelin now make City Grip tyres in PCX sizes, so that's some excellent news :D

Hey, we're working on it. I found that a VTEC sticker adds 5hp, essentially doubling the power of the PCX.

Not sure if you saw the thread on the city grips, check it out here. It'll be good to have an alternative to the IRC tires. I really want some Pirellis, they worked great on my Reflex, but I have yet to actually hear of anyone getting their hands on any.

Hi Nice to see you back and active on a forum again.

It's a shame they banned you - sometimes you did push them a bit - but hey that's what I thought rational discussions/deabtes are all about plus I thought the Americans invented "free speech" :D

Back to your question - No one has cracked the magic 100mph - BUT I do have a TYZ 250cc engine(rebored to 280cc) lying about. I'm sure I could shoehorn it into the PCX somehow :roll: and add NOS, a turbo and supercharger to it - I'm sure it'll hit the 100mph mark then :lol:

Nb. - Maddiedog - can we have a "snigger" smilie please? :lol:
it tastes like...Eagle!
