GSXR600 m8 the thing could eat most cars on the road and a 1.6 on TB could just about beat a 2lt 16v corsa :lol: | |

Car is very nearly there all i have left to do is sort out my throttle cable, setup tb's again and replace my dodgy battery and it should be sorted. The straight cut gears are bloody noisy tho and i have just swapped the alloy cage for a proper safety devices one with door bars so getting in and out is a chore. Next on the list is an internal fuel tank (got one 2cnd hand on mig) and then try to beat your time for 1/4 mile at santa pod, think i'll need a bit of engine work for that mind ;) | |

I used to have a VFR 400, it was a little rocket, but not very practical (single seat race rep)so i sold it to insure my corsa. like somebody above said, if you dont fall off your bike, some cunt in a white van will certainly give you a helping hand. | |

I love throttle bodies, but not enough over a whole bike. I'd change the bike choice though :P | |

TBs are great fun, but it probably wont compare to the buzz of a decent bike. Ultimatly it depends on whether or not you want a bike or not? | |

No probs - will be glad to help. Steve's a top man, so anytime you fancy a gander at his astra, just give me a shout. It's only one wire needs replacing on the Corsa, Shouldn't take more than 20 mins :P | |

Glad you enjoyed it. Took it out today for a spin but one of the wires from the coil pack is faulty - think it got bent when I was fiddling around trying to sort out the gearbox prob I had last month. Getting the soldering iron out this weekend - it's not much fun on 2 cylinders... :( | |
