Mark when is the b18ft going to be done then? And i thought you said you wouldnt have another c1j 5 anymore due to it having that nasty thing called a carb on there :D

[Lomo]

Jut ordered our tickets..and a cheeky little t-shirt for the win...:agree:

[royz]

just got to change the water for new and all done

[Gttnutter]

The 5 passed the mot today with no issues other than rear fog light which the fuse was removed for some reason or other.

Whilst i had the chance of a ramp i went to town with underseal and copper greasing the lines front to back, put my big discs back on, stripped and cleaned all calipers and a fresh brake fluid change.

At 1500 rpms the co was 1.45%vol (limit is 3.50%)so really pleased with that and with the afr showing spot on readings. the carb i got from glen is excellant.

looks like i'll be coming in my gtt afterall :agree:
