Nice

i think I may have made a mistake

Keep us posted 

[Simbec1863]

Thanks again @Markz9 I’ll take good care of her 

[Simbec1863]

1st part of the puzzle arrived today big thanks to HEL for the continued support and my complimentary brake lines 

[davecara]

nice one! Are you keeping the 18" wheels on it?

[Simbec1863]

Yes mate I’ll be running them for now as one of the classes stipulated 18” the other I can run 17” so to keep costs down next season I’ll run conti classic endurance tyres then I don’t need wets either I’m up against SRADs and any pre 98 750 superbikes so it will be a challenge  but I’ll keep going round and round and try not to be last

Looking good Mark roll on next season, I might be getting a mildly tuned M motor instead of using the original slabby one just to give me a fighting chance

Thats the right idea !! You might want some Nissan calipers although brakes are for girls

Good score with the brake hoses 

[Simbec1863]

I only asked them last week and they said no problem we’ll send you some for free

Another piece of the jigsaw turned up

Haven’t made my mind up yet but will be more than likely selling the slabby lump to fund something with a little bit more power if my plan works out…watch this space

Spending more time away with work but got a nice text then phone call in Denmark tonight with an update from my tuning guru as he has acquired me a low mileage later model engine which is already in bits and looking clean with little wear

It’s a non shim head L model Mark will be 771cc.

if I get spanked then apparently with a few mods 980 is an option
