    I am getting really p*ssed off with the nonsense about bike engined cars on the road. Why is everybody an expert ? They are so much easier to drive than the heavy Metro derived engines - you just have to remember that the clutch was designed to be used by a hand lever rather than some moronic size 12 Doc Marten. You only need to use it on downchanges anyway! Get a Fireblade - you can save yourself 6k on your budget to pay for Trackdays and driving tuition . My car a JW Blade did over 1000 track miles last year and was quick enough to frighten me and a few others. You will not regret it 1

    It is true. It is difficult with a BEC so I put a second fog light on instead -just for Spa

    You only get what you pay for. I have had three Machine Mart ones . The first lasted two weeks , the second eleven and a half months, the third one being used twice before it too backed up, and Machine Mart now claim that their warranty runs only from the original purchase date. So I now have a Sealy one and rest assured I will not be giving Machine Mart any further businness

    I seem to recall that at the Club Track day at Lyden it was the Metro derived engines that went bang rather than the BECs.

    This is the a real problem with the Fireblade. The sensor if it is the magnetic proximity one supplied by James Whiting needs to be as close as possible to the propshaft bolts about 5 to 10 thou. You can check if it is working by checking the resistance across the two contacts needs to be about 400 ohms Alternatively you can fit a sensor with a built in LED from Farnell # 5300293. Much easier to install but you need to make a mounting bracket. For more info speak to Andy at Speedy Cables 01639 732299. However I have mashed two sensors up when slipping off the black stuff and am trying to find a way of using the sensor that Honda have fitted to the engine.

    Gillingham passed my car with the small headlights and the indicator repeaters in them in April so ask the guy in derby to talk to Mr Telchadder for clarification. The repeaters are Fiat ones and E coded.

    Thanks for that Rob. The great advantage of GPS is not having a beacon to leave behind. Do they provide the GPS module in the package or is it one of many extras.
  19. Paul Thompson
    Has anybody experience of the Race Technology's DL90 data logger that uses GPS. It looks like quite good value.

    Half doors

    They are fixed on with poppers and do not have a hinge. You have to stand on the seat to get in and out
