Bit of a let down.  Boost controler died, stuck on setting 3 of 4, so not making full boost.  Also had a rather large fuel/air leak from the top hatty thingamejig.

Long story short 203 at wheels.

Bunch of arse.  Still fun to drive tho.  Will try again with new controler & new gaskit.

just get the turbo on.  There comes atime when you have to accept that although BSA made good bikes in their day, a Kawasaki is the way forward for today;)

know where you are coming from and you carn\'t beat a r1 fantasic bike but if i were to go turbo i would go the same route as Bish and T11 it, i just dont fancy the idea of anything more than 250bhp in one without a cage, but a better alturnative is to get a FD (thats the plan 1 day anyway!! just need a double garage!!)

I reckon I can get 250 out of this no probs.  Think ur right about more than that in an FB, live axle & all

[mpk490p]

so today i had some time and did the ball joints and track rod ends too they didnt look like they needed it but i havent changed them since having the car so they got done!! also these were the last thing to be changed in turms of sterring and suspension so it was worth doing!

just waiting on the new Noltec clubsport top mounts to turn up (promised by Friday!) i have put the new coilovers together already :Thumbsup!

Mark

[mpk490p]

got the track rod ends done no problems :Thumbsup!

You have way too much time on ur hands Mark!

You have way too much time on ur hands Mark!

lol i wish!! the car has been sat on stands for 2 weeks ive had the ball joints for a good 6 months and the ends for 2, some jobs you put off but they were all pretty painless with everything in bits already!!

have you managed to fix your boost problems?
coming to Jap Show this weekend?

Mark

[Don Pamponi]

Unfortunatly I wont make the show.  Been doing some work to the beast & its all got delayed (ordered the wrong springs thinking I needed FC jobs for the front, when in fact its still using FBs).

Man I\'m skiiiiii-iiiint!  Done 1500 on it & still have to get the paint done! Ouch!

Have to get some pictures up there soon.  Dit you check the vids on exile?

[Don Pamponi]

Dunno if the leaks fixed, it only came to light under boost on the rollers, so we\'ll see next time.

Think the controller is shafted tho. £250 - used maybe 4 times!

[mpk490p]

yes saw the videos cars looking great!, shame about the boost problems. are you going for a full respray then or touch up?
your set up sounds interesting are you still runing FB struts then?

Mark

[mpk490p]

looks like my plates are not going to be here in time for Jap Show (thought as much to be honest!!)
but i have a plan! just been in the garage and im going to put the origional top mounts back on tomorrow so i can get it rolling again (glad i didnt sell them!) :3gears-lh

I can\'t believe you\'re selling the car after all that work!!!!
