they warp and twist they reckon, I had a quick investigation just before and it looks more like the 2 - 1 which would be abit easier to patch up i'll look at it on the weekend when I can be bother,



now my other issue is the brake switch, when I put the switch on the pedal it activates the lights the entire time and if I file the hole to make it a little bigger it doesn't activate at all :(

got the extractors welded at work today and can happily report she's all sweet in the noise department

how ever I still can't work out how to get my brake switch to work, so far I have, filled the circle that goes over the rod bigger to have no effect and have also filed the flat plate that gets pressed in to activate the switch and they're still always on :(

i got it fixed, had to file a plastic part on the rod, which I've now got a new booster that doesn't have that so I can get rid of that and hopefully not have to worry about it

awesomely, nice and smooth, power starts coming on around the 1800 mark and just pulls, I think my rev limiter is at 6??? had it go north of 5500 and haven't had a rev limiter, could not fault the tune at all :D doing the ball joints tomorrow so that should allow me to run my 18's all round,


had a brush with the law yesterday but didn't lose any money or points so that's always a win,

the only thing that's p****d me off is the forced shut down that happens if I clutch it and roll too long with a bit of speed and it cracks the s**t and shuts the motor off
