Was that at the wheels Bri or the flywheel, car looks nice though, and great engine.

I think it's at the flywheel,
Won't be using it for a while as the clutch actuator rod broke (the bit that goes into the clutch housing and connects the cable- tried welding it up but it only lasted about 15 miles(just got it back home!)It's the second one that has gone might have to change the bit it operates in the clutch as well give me something to do over the winter so never mind the bit only costs about £20 so not all bad!

Nice!

Nice to see what mine will sound like!

if it's your clutch pivot lever that keeps breaking, i had the same trouble, after advice from on here i fitted a clutch pedal stop and i've not had the problem again HTH Roger

That's not bad, they only claimed 138bhp for the engine when they were new so you are well up there.

I have read that they produce 143bhp at flywheel.

I thought they were 128bhp as standard?
Was talking to a zx9r owner (while mine was on the rollers and was told mine was more powerful by 1.9bhp more than his!
he reckons before he dynojetted it-it was 130
