Great work and pretty speedy too, shame about the piston but you no what they say, the joys of motoring. I'm sure your soon have it sorted you do'nt seem to the type to hang around. Out of interest how did you go about lowering the front.

Happy with it now it will drop a bit when i get engine back together, suspension is alot stiffer now and less body roll, both front and rear measur 190mm from arch to centre of hub think front will drop 5-10mm with head on and 2 new pistons in and sump and oil.  |

Well I had a nice little run tonight, filter didnt block and i managed to hit 70 quite easy altho the prop rubs well when you hit bumps so im gonna tweek tunnel. Also the gearing may need looking at as it uses gears up really quick and the rear tyres need widening as in the wet it spins them in 4th
