I'll be buried in it & no your T6 would end up eating ma duuuussssssttttt

Trust me - my 2.9 transverse 6 has a modified kit in it much like the "R"

Ya gotta love them though - faultless to a fault - but you do need to be
good at figuring out the electronics as they are a complete beeatch when
they act up.

Yup, I`m an electronics technician by training and am struggling with them from time to time... The good thing is the whole system is modular so if any unit fails you can just swap it, the trick is the symptom and cause is often in different places... Should be getting a new sludge box for the crank case breather system the next week, they didn`t have any 6 cyl intake gaskets in Finland and had to order (has to come out in order to get to the PCV box) so I`ll FINALLY get it back on the road hopefully in a week. The next thing is ordering a full set of shox/springs (gonna get a BC Racing V1 set with adjustable ride height) for the money I get from selling the cbr eventually. After that gonna drop the enormous back muffler and replace with twin straight-thru:s, the twin turbo six is totally going to waste when even with the sunroof open I can barely hear the engine in full stompdown... but gotta love the 272 ponies... even with these gas prices...

Going a bit offtopic here, just keep checking my sig for the next week if the F2 changes into a Ducati

Well done Sprock, looks an honest bit of kit.

I just love the sound of the V4

Cheers, SB

Lovely Sprock, at least your v4 will keep running for a good few years problem free, I doubt you can say the same for the vtwin mentioned!

So, so jealous Sprock.

How can I record that noise and use it in the background on permanent replay.

Are you planning on putting it back to standard or allowing a few mods?
