    Man that 93 T-cat just has something very special about it, the chassi look just fits perfectly for something that's ment for absolute speed. If nothing else i think it's the fastest "looking" sled ever

    Thanks for the ride-along. That thing has some balls, for sure. The 93 TCat has always been my fav.

    Hey there, I subscribed!!
    Great that you got some good results with your efforts! I have ALWAYS loved that hood style. (BUMPERLESS!) I own the Arctic Cat CLOCK with that very sled behind the hands! Salmon I believe was the color of those stripes. Got the VHS promo video as well. Purchased from my local dealer as well as ALL my new sleds.
    My history of AC goes back to 1980. Brand new TRAIL CAT. It was cool to have one of the very first independent front ends on the trail! Then a new 1988 el'Tigre. 10 years later, a new 1998 ZL-500 (man, that thing was the quickest little 500cc. sled!)
    Then, in 2004, a spring special F7 EFI 'Nightfire'. Still own it, but only on the show a few seasons. Sitting at 800 miles, still like brand new, stored in my garage since 2006.
    Best wishes with your projects!

      @@minnowlaketuning WOW, too funny... Well, the clock is at my shop currently. I remember it was $25. back in the day.
      The sled? HA, I wonder how much it is worth these days Totally UNaltered, outside of for safety, I added the standard 98 trail studs when brand new. The entire sled is pristine (I am a very fussy, OCD kind of guy) 😊 Even has the factory installed skags!
      I bought into the NF cover, jacket, helmet and even have the diecast model too. I was crazy over everything Cat. I believe that whole package was $8600 (US) in 2003.
      The sled as you may remember, had a few RECALLS. So, I kept bringing it back to the dealer under warranty for the gas tank, re-routed coolant hoses. The oil level sensor (I never installed that, still in the box), wasn't anything that bothered me anyway.
      Many sometimes I wished I was riding again, but too many other things got in the way. Home ownership, a second car, motorcycle and being retired..............well, you get the idea. Thanks for the reply.

    I built a 97 t-Cat back in 2000, Light weight as I could, Mountain sled 151 track, pipes, heads cut, aluminum bulkhead and if it did not need it to run it was gone. Lexan hood, oil injection delete, balance shaft gone. That thing ripped. Just picked up a 01 Thundercat 1000 that needs love but it runs. Keep the old iron going!

I was floored when I saw your collection. The V-max 540, 93 Thundercat, and the Banshee!! I love them too!! Thank you for your content and your time you put into all of this. I have you a like in everything I have watched so far as well. 👍

    When you have no fuel in the carbs splash some fuel in one or a couple cylinders and she will pull over and run enough so you don't have to pull your arms off your body

    It's nice to see that you got it going. Good luck getting the rest of the bugs worked out. My idea for the cylinder head plate thing would be a period correct Cat decal or else a new place to put a trail pass.
