i found that rubber o-rings work great for holding the air box lid down. they are alot cheaper and stronger.

Welcome to the G8 club guys! We are a small, and relativley unknown group, but we got the best little carts on the forum! (I keep telling myself that!)

I am not sure why there are such few G8's in the world, but I am proud to own one!

Cajun, I checked out your pics and that's what mine looked like, if not much worse when I started! Four coats of paint also!! So, which color are you going to pick? Black, Red, Blue or white?!! Did you solve your air box problem?

Thanks for checking out my ride bro. My wife says I need to paint it burgandy to match her truck LOL but my son want me to paint it that Kamelion color. Thinking my son will win the argument considering it's a father son project lol. And I totally agree that the G8 is the best looking cart that Yamaha put the market

And I have a crank seal and gasket problem that will need attending to before I fight with the air problem so much to do so little money LOL

Definitely a tough cart

CajunLoneWolf · 06-01-2011, 06:47 PM

Thanks Curt it will be a looker when I'm done for sure. The cash flow will determine how long it takes to get where I want it to go though. I will keep yall posted with pics of the transformation. Is that a G8 in your avatar pic. Awesome looking ride either way

Curti, did your baby get to the spa? If it did, we want new pictures!!!!

Cajun, i would try a pressure washer on it now. It may just blow right off!

CajunLoneWolf · 06-02-2011, 03:45 AM

LOL well Mike those pics are two coats of paint stripper pressure washed off on each coat. I can honestly say atleast they did the paint right cause it was on there good

Ok, you weren't as lucky as I then, because alot of mine came off that way! Is it running good now?

Keep at it, Mike
