  1. Thanks..

    Anyone know a decent custom manifold manufacturer?

    It's a bit irritating having to take the engine in and out. :rant:

    I expect I'll have trouble getting a refund going by some of the complaints about GTM.

    I'm booked up for a track day in Spa on the 8th of September. Hopefully the manifold will last through that.

  2. Just a quick update.

    Not impressed with the GTM twin turbo kit.

    Turbos have fallen off twice. Exhaust Mainifold has cracked and I've been waiting 4 months for a replacement.

    Do yourselves a favor don't use GTM kit.

    Their after sales are attricious and they are not the most honest of individuals.

  3. The difference between car drivers and cyclists, is cyclists are bags of blood on the move and drivers think they are kings of the road because they are in a metal box.

    I started riding bikes in London back in the 1980s. You have to ride aggresively to survive. It helps if you can intimidate people from a distance ;-)

  4. Just get a set of Michelin Supersports and stop faffing about.

    I had a trackday at Knockhill a couple of weeks ago in the torrential Scottish rain, lot's of cars spinning off and the track was red lighted 4 times. Didn't have any issues, fabulous grip even though I only had 3mm tread on the rears.

  5. Instructions from zmanalex

    Managed to get everything loose apart from the top 17mm bolts attaching the carrier that are recessed.Yes it is tight, however if you can get the drive shaft joint far enough back then you will get in but you may find then you require a slim line socket.

     

    In this instance I would advise you just to disconnect the drive shaft from the diff. which should only take you minutes, it is a flat flange so you will not lose any diff fluid.

     

    Now you will find that the drive shaft will slide far enough from the hub to get the last bolt out.

    Refit the 4 bolts by around 6 threads and gently tap the heads of the bolts

    uniformly so that it comes out square.
