    Went 9's with a deco ECU $50, 42lb injectors and a couple of 044's. ran nice enough to get 13 litres per 100km with a non overdrive gearbox, 3.45 diff and 500rwhp. Drove 600km from Canberra back to Traralgon. And with what I have learnt now I would have a crack tuning it myself.

        "Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."

I see plenty of cunts on this forum who have opinions till the cows come home but have barely picked up a spanner but are pretty good at getting other cunts to do stuff, or ordering bolt on parts out of a catalogue.

                      Oh yeah - 14.7 @ 92.

                      What were you driving? I did 14.7 (from memory) @ 102.

                          Dave has expressed the need to fit a VK56TT to the calais now. We will be straight onto that once car is painted and 330 is in scrap bin(or sold to s15dude).
