Default What would you do ???

Since having my live map at MSD i don't drive the car as much as i'd like as the gearbox is about to shit itself Probably doesn't help launching it out of junctions though

So do i sell my Aprilia Mille to fund a Fix-It kit and a pair of Quaife diffs ?? I like the bike but don't use it that much to be honest and i've got my track bike as well.

Any thoughts ????

EDITED TO ADD: Or do i convert it back to 2wd

How can someone with such great taste in bikes have such bad taste in cars!!!!

That bike will be much more fun than your car in my opinion and no-one will laugh at you as you go past

Make it RWD.

If you're going to have fun on track in a saff of all cars, you've got to make it worthwhile, and RWD will mean you can have the most fun at the minimal outlay.

.......and sell me back my dash

Hang on a bit longer - and buy a Mullit box like I'm testing for Marco.

I've got a little announcement to make about it later - should interest you.

I'm selling my ZX6-R to fund the Mullit box and diffs as soon as its for sale.

Costina You're correct about the dodgy hair do - it's a box named after the hair do the guy behind it has! See here:

That's my news - Mullit box works fine - it was my car that buggered the box!

So the Mullit box will be back on test as soon as my car is fixed (whatever the hell is wrong with it)

Classic one Trev!

If you dont use the bike much I would sell it and sort out the Cossie. Put it this way you haven't just spent alot of time and money on the Cossie just to let the transmission let it down have you?

As for going back to rwd, think why you converted to 4wd in the first place. That said rwd would defo be a giggle.
