    Re: My new 5!

    Did you gets big can of carb cleaner?? It's a must matey.. Just take your time take of one by one keep them in sequence clean and replace everything one at a time and you can go wrong.. What boost you running? Do you have an AFR kit fitted? If bigger boost you could alter your stages while your at it..

    Re: My new 5!

    Mines about 950 bud just baubles nicely but the guys might tell you different.. Believe me matey after six months you will do everything with your eyes shut that's why I love them easy to work on.. Do you know how to adjust the revs? You really should buy an AFR gauge bud its the first and best mod!!

    Re: My new 5!

    Very nice!

    I've got a red 5 as well, nice to know they're fairly rare. Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine though.

    I desperately need a new red bonnet and red front grille if anyone can help
