the only reason i up'd to a t4 was it came at the right price if it never came my way i would still have the t38

Had the rocker cover painted by davy williamson, who paints the TAS Suzuki bikes and painted joey dunlops bikes. He has done a first class job, highly recommended!





Apologies for crappy blackberry pics.

Also fitted a set of magnecor leads while I was at it. Car seems much smoother at idle.

Also bought a Pace rs500 intercooler on ebay and gave it a coat of satin black.

looks well mate.

I'd consider Omex as an another aftermarket management as that is widely available and easily mapped - not to mention cheaper than link, autronic, etc

Screwed the inlet off tonight, going to clean it down and give it a coat if silver paint to freshen it up. Think it was due a clean!!





Ten minutes with some TFR and its looking better already!

May have got hold of a small turbo inlet, anybody know if its a direct fit or if any modifications are needed ( thinking fuel rail etc )
