Why can't we have a separate Big Block Forum Catagory for the 800 and 900 Arctic cat sleds? Lokks like we need one. What do you think?

Not a bad idea, people can still write in either, but it will be much easy to sift through the forums. :div20:

I agree :banana:

My thoughts exactly. It's hard to go through everything to find the bigblock stuff. There is a catagory for the ZRT's and the T660's why not for the Big Block. How do we ask the administrator to have a new catagory setup For Big Block 800/900?

I 2nd that

Your second alright Chisel piks.

what do you want it called? Big Block 800/900?

Good 1 Rob. I pressed yes and nothing happened.. (lol)

Yes thats perfect Big Block 800/900?

you could also call it big bore. dont get mad hooper 7 if they dont let you post with the big boys and big bores

count me in :banana:

The only dif is the engine :doh:

everything else is the same :cn:

So why seperate them

Thats exactly why we need a new catagory The engne and clutching and exhaust and intake. All these things are different and all have different setups than the 600 case reeds and the 700's. If you are useing that as a reason not to then why is ther a ZRT catagory? The only difference is the engine? See what I mean? It's that the engine is so different we need a new forum catagory, just like the ZRT.

Is the administrator following this thread?? Can we do this??? We have valid resons.

So why not get rid of the 580s and 700s out of this forum too

Or have a 500 and 600 forum as they are the same basic engine

Yet we can seperate the 500 APVs and the 600 APVs as one has round PVs and the other has guillotine type

Or have an BEFI forum seperate from the carbs

See the pandora box you are openning

they are the same basic sled just diferent engine/clutching thats it

The Skid/AWS/tunnel/track length/skis/windshield/cab/belly pan etc are all the same :div20:

i say you just keep it all in here. no need seperating so much. only reason the zrt is in a different forum is because its paired up with the thundercat which is also a triple. if you make a 800/900 you might as well make a 600/700, then a 500/580. it just wont end. it is an alright idea so you dont have to search through stuff but i say just leave it be.

There, you said it your self. ZRT's and Thudercats are tripples and thats why they have there own forum. Lets just for the sake of argument leave out the cc of the engine, not 800 or 900. Forget about that. Tripple engine, Separare... Big Block, Separate... It's a different kind of engine just like the tripple. Just like with a car forums. Big block forums and small block forums. It's not the same as the rest. You have to see the logic here. It's not the CC's, It's a Different type of engine. And with this different kind of engine are different performance options and clutching and performance tips, all sorts of different things that don't apply to the small block or case reed engines. And why is there a T660 forum? Because it's a different engine.

I really think it gets pointless to separate things even as much as they are now. When I come and browse through I like to see all the posts and all the questions because I may not own all the sleds, but between my family and myslef I work on a good share of them. Besides, I like to learn about all of it.

Just my opinion. There isn't a category for either of the sleds I own anyway. lol

im all for it big block 800/900

I have no problem adding the forum if the majority want it. Let's vote on it for a day and see what happens. If the majority are in favor, then I'll add it tomorrow (weds) morning :div20:

Count me in favor of adding a big block forum :div20:

big bore 800/900

For all that are interested, I just posted my 2003 ZR 900 for sale in the classified section. Only 2,556 miles, studded, clutched, V-force reeds and cover. Sled is black and in Excellent condition. Trail Ridden only, with the occasional... put your buddy in his place run down the lake. Asking $4,500. :beerchug:

You know you have my vote.

why would anyone care how many forums you have let the big boys have their big bore forum, Mine is a big bore just not a 800/900 it is just a 700. I'll be right behind ya Chisel Picks, well that is if im not trying.

well id like a foorum with just 500's. but theres no point. you might as well divide up engines with reed cages and without also. theres just so much to divide up. once you get rid of the 800 and 900's theres still 120's, 370's, 500's, 580's, 600's, 700's, etc. not fair to people looking for 370 crap to have to search through all kinda of 500, 600, 700 stuff, but its the way it is. just leave it.

i also see one more problem with this. with a big block 800/900 forum. the f8's and f9's would obviously get to post in it to...right? it'd only be fair.

why should you make us big bore guys sift thru z 370, 440 and 500/600 you guys are a whole different category. most of the threads anyway are for the big bores it just gonna make it better for the both of us. hooper 7 i can get some 800 or 900 decals made to replace them 500 ones you got now so you can be classified as a big bore.

I vote for it, my wife has a zr 500 and I don't mind going to the smaller sled forum to find things about her sled, which I really don't care because her sled runs hard as it is anyway. I won't have to look through the big block stuff to find 500cc threads, I don't mind either way, but it would be nice to narrow it down some more. I think Hardcore Sledder is the best hands down as far as the way they do things. Great job.. :beerchug:

Thats right. It's going to make it easier for every one to find the what they are looking for. And again, it's not about CC's it's about engine type. And there already is an Firecat/Sabercat forum.

Anyone wanna swap a 800engine for my 600engine so I could join the BB Forum

Only 1000miles since rebuild

okay i thought about it. my opinion if anyone wants to listen is the 800/900 category should be about engines and strictly engines. is what i mean is if you have a question about your chassis or anything not relating the clutch, engine, pipes etc should go in the original zr/zl forum. so that way if i have a question and do a search you dont have to search both. also what i meant by the firecat one is it wouldnt be fair for firecat people to have to search through f5,6 and 7. i was just stating this because im sure its ganna be a problem with the firecat people posting 800&900 stuff in the big bore forum. so maybe it should be called zr 800/900? i guess i thought baout it and im all for the idea. jsut needed a little thought :div20:

Ok now your just being silly. If you had a Big Block you would want a forum too.

Silly :no_bashing: :cn:

I am more :tease: then anything else :div20:

Anyway my sled options this year were a ZR/ZL800 :div20:

But in July I found this 01 ZR 600 for $2000canuck :div20:

That is the only reason I got the 600,for $2000ca I could not pass up a deal like that :doh:

I did not get the best engine size but at least I got the best chassis IMO

I agree with you on that.

how am i silly? im confused. was that directed towards me? im saying you should do it, but keep all the chassis related things in one forum. i thought about it and figured it would actually be kinda nice having the BB and smaller blocks seperate.

It was not directed at you. This was the comment I thought was silly.

"Anyone wanna swap a 800engine for my 600engine so I could join the BB Forum"

I agree about having a separate forum for big blocks , but when it comes to clutching , gearing and HP, my 700 makes more power than a stock 800 and 900. But that is ok make a separate forum, even us smaller big blocks can benifit and contribute to the info exchanged on the Big/Bore forum.

alright, sorry about that :div20:

Is this Turning into"my daddy is bigger then your daddy"? Simple question was asked if there should be a big block forum. Yes/No, not trying to reinvent the wheel here. I still say give it a try and if nobody is using the forum then drop it. Can't make every body happy. So what does every one say Yes or No. A vote was called for earlier. :beerchug:

So hooper 700 i guess the question is can you outrun a twin piped ported 862cc in a 1000ft? only time will tell? i think the merc would surprise you in 500ft.


no doubt a big bore section will get plenty of threads.

My vote is NO, leave it "as is". There's search functionality if I want to find something specific.

Ok, the vote is in favor of the new forum, so I'm adding it now, and moving this thread over to it. Enjoy :beerchug:
