I think that these are a really bad way to do any tuning. Increased risks of bore wash when cold is enough to put me off. If you want to adjust fuelling, either go with the motronic chip that goes with the laser exhaust or a setup session with a Power commander. I found the fuellling on the two I ha...

You could always buy a C70 Cabriolet. :D

Mine will be up for sale soon. Cheaply.

The mk1 MX5 is the one to go for. Not a great motorway car though, and use more fuel than you would expect. I got 28 MPG from mine, thrashed everywhere.

Hi and welcome. Unless you can do it yourself, the cost of decent paint is often not worthwhile on an older bike. The rather lovely white/red/black would probably not leave you any change from a grand. You can save a bunch of cash by prepping the panels yourself, but you would be better served putti...

Fair enough.

I understand how it would be the case in theory, but the in practice bit was puzzling me:)

On the subject of heated gloves and the like.. Has anyone ever had goretex gloves leaking due to heated grips?? Or is it another myth? Now, this may be slightly contentious, but has anyone fitted handguards to an S to keep the wind off? I don't like muffs. Well, thats not strictly true, but I digres...

Maybe we're not actually disagreeing, except it's only me who sees this ad abstract I thnk so. If that dyno curve is as it appears. It is a plot of 'effective torque/power' making from the crank to the roller, normalising for the torque multiplication effect of the gearbox. We could probably sort t...
