Hi

 

I have a set of 16" Kuhmo's that I have run on my 964 and Boxster. Plenty of grip and they get nice and sticky when warmed up. Certainly prefer them to Conti's or SO1 Bridgestones for trackdays, the wear rates are a bit alarming but they are cheap enough to buy.

DSL - As originally posted had exactly the same problem when I built a Fireblade 5 years ago. You need to fit Dynojet needles. After that no problem. James Whiting used to have the kit or try a local motor bike shop.They come with very easy to follow instructions.

You just can't help some people

Have the carbs been treated to Dynajet needles ? From what you say it sounds like there is not enogh fuel getting through. Also what pressure is the fuel being delivered to the carbs?

Hi

 

I have 5 of 5.5x 13" Minilites with some road tyres if you are interested.

 

Paul

what pitch - de dion or a proper axel ?

Horrible!

Please check the measurement. I have an outer that is 3 inch wide.

If this is Andrew's old car with the Goode silencer he should be OK unless Andrew knocked the stuffing out of it. My car was tested at sub 100dbls at Cadwell last month and it has done a few more track miles than Andrews car. Just make sure the engine is nice and warm before the test and lie about the maximum revs.

If really concerned get Goode to repack the can.

Paul Harvey in Shoreham is your man. Sounds like your dogs are b*ggered.

Better open the Italian Branch then

Send me a blatmail and I will e-mail some pictures.

The Register - Ah ! I thought that this would come back and haunt me ! After suffering all sorts of PDA malaises I have found one from 2005. Which I am embarrassed to say does not have the details of Andrews car on it. However if all those with Whiting Fireblades out there will e-mail the details of their cars to me I will update it and circulate it

No you cannot do a simple swop - being Honda every thing changes.

 

But before you get too smart about the 130bhp! have you driven a Fireblade ?

If anybody is interested I have a reasonably specc'd one for sale at slightly less money and will pay normal commission rates for a sucessful introduction.

De Dion or Ital axel? I have five 5.5"x 13" cluttering up the tyre store for an Ital axel.

A mid grey or silver. Have you found some wheels ? Paul Matty has the hub caps.

I have a set of 5.5 "x 13" Silver Minatours that I have replaced on my car with the correct period wheels. They are in good condition with some tyres I have never heard of ROADSTONE DH-60 185/60 also have all the nuts and caps.

 

I am based in Guildford if tyou are interested call me on 01483 893358.

 

Cheers

 

Paul

Or you could get me a few brownie points by buying 5, 5.5" x 132 Minators that came with a Series 2 fitted with some strange tyres.

 

Blatmail me if you are interested in very good condition with wheel nuts and centres replaces by the correct wheels.

Thanks Guys as ever a great deal of info.

Looks like I am too impatient.

Your right Geoff Honda's are much less troublesome.
