Info./history on your REPU
quote:
just bought my REPU this year. and the guy i bought it from didn't know much about it. i ran into a picture of it on J&G automotive in La Cresenta, CA. website and figured someone should have some info on it. as far as i can tell it might be street ported with the OG 13b and 4-speed. with a poorly worked over nikki carb.

thanks
Just wanted to give you some info. on your REPU. I met the 3 owners of your REPU. The guy i think you bought it from was Arlou, and yeah he didn't know squat about it. He basically traded a street bike and i think a Civic for it from his neighbor. His neighbor was Gazo who owns J&G auto. Gazo bought it from Pertano in a non-running condition. Gazo street-ported the OG 13B and slapped the Nikki's on there, recharged the A/C, put new tires, hot-tanked and cleaned-out the gas tank, cleaned-out the fuel lines, new brakes all the way around, etc... He basically brought it back to life. Pertano got it from some lady in Washington iirc.
The reason i know all this was because back then i was contemplating on selling my REPU for this one because it had a/c, heater (mine was gutted-out from po- bummer!) and it looked cleaner than mine. I took a look at it when Pertano first owned it and sold it to Gazo and when Gazo did all that work to it, and registered it, i went to look at it again and was gonna get back to him about it, but i came across another one that had what i wanted from it for cheaper, so never ended-up buying Gazo's at the time.
Anyways, just some history on your REPU.
