1st Drive with new 2.0 Blacktop
I'm well impressed - my new engine is a lot more pokey than the old 1.8 and much quieter too.
I've changed my carb setup using non-repaced ZX6R carbs on a homemade manifold with home made [not very well] airbox.
I'll post some pics later.

Hi Stu,
I cant believe you aint going to use your old manifold,I can only assume that the new one you have made is a real work of art. .
well done mate,look forward to the piccys.
If you always do what you have always done you will always get what you have always got

I've changed from a 1.8 Blacktop [cos it was very noisy] to a 2.0 Blacktop from a Mondeo, so basically the same, just a bit more power.

I never used the Fatboy Dave manifold as there didn't seem to be much point. The new one certainly isn't a work of art, but it works fine
and suits the car / carbs really well.

Sounds encouraging, I was going to fit my ST blacktop today but despite the sun out there is a covering of snow and its bitter in the garage...
Need to hurry that log burner along

Glad your enjoying it, took mine out yesterday, going from a 1700 X-flow to a 2L blacktop makes a massive differance above 85, private road

Traction was never a problem with the 1.8, but the 2.0 spins the wheels in 2nd quite easily.
