Got some new parts this week...
Pace 4 core caterham race rad
Barnett clutch kit
That should sort the worn out clutch and help with the overheating, as well as cutting vents in the bonnet..
Rad is a work of art, but should be for £370

Been looking at your previous picture which shows an under the hood look at your ZX12-r and am curious as to what the aluminimum cylinder is situated
just under the right hand side of the nosecone.
Also wondered if you could let us know what you did with your fuel line as i see three copper pipes running down the tunnel , presumable one is brake
and the other two fuel but i recall you saying a while back that you didnt need two lines when using the original fuel pump.
Anyways im must thank you for this thread and lets see if we can get it to the number one spot on the longest runnings threads.

Hey man
There are 3 copper pipes as I am running a higher flow fuel pump and a pressure regulator. Not the original pump..
The silver cylinder with the copper pipe going into it is the ctach tank for the reverse gearbox...
They tend to spit oil a bit...
Hope this helps...
will post some pics of the new parts soon

Still trying to sort my brakes at the moment..
Master cylinder is fine, calipers are fine, so there must be a blockage somewhere in the brake lines...
The brakes work, but after 1 mile or so they stick on... fronts only that is...
Very frustrating as first time I was 2 miles from home... outward leg...
None of the pipes are crimped/pinched/bent as far as I can see... gonna get them pumped up and release each union in turn and see where the fluid
doesnt wee out from...
That will tell me its before that union...

One of my brakes did something similar. I could smell them so I stopped and checked them all. The first three were cold to the touch. The last one
burned off my finger print.
I took the caliper apart and there was a bit of roughness on the piston. A light touch with some 2000 grit wet and dry seems to have cured it.

mark had a thought on this one next time it locks up pull the brake peddle back by hand and see if it moves or free's up.
had a couple of your symptoms with my rears.
basically the bias bar can lock out the oposite curcuit espically if its not been played with after sva
let me know if you need owt further

Got my registration through this week 
Car goes into a performance shop today to have brakes fixed (£30) including refil with race spec synthetic brake fluid...
Fitting and plumbing of pace/caterham 4 core race rad (£50)
And finally, at last, full dyno tune... Should cure the overheating, flat spots when warm, and give me a dyno printout...

Difficult to say... I have no idea how the transmission loss compares to when it was on a bike...
If it was on a bike, I would expect about 10/15% transmission loss giving between 170-180 at the wheels...
Current readout on the digidash says 175bhp but god knows how accurate that is, although the weight is programmed in correctly so who knows...

New clutch arrived over Xmas so fitting that this weekend...
Race rad is in, and brakes are sorted, sticking master cylinder it was...
Darn nuisance having to remove the sump to get all the broken clutch out...
Thanks to Malc of Yorkshire Engines for the new clutch cover

yes, when it remains reliable enough to survive a dyno run...
We are gonna do the fueling on the road now as that will be more accurate, and my tuner friend has a very accurate f/a ratio monitor...

Music to my ears, dyno tuning is ok to a point, but on the road stuff is much more accurate. Mind you, the BiB don't appreciate you doing it on
the public road
