Terry Sorry it took so long to get back to u.. You are absolutely right... Faulty wire at the sender.. re routed the wires and it works perfectly... Had a lot of fun at Morgan Park but man was i slow. I'm sure that the effects of the heat shield and the extra altitude made the engine lean out cos i sure felt underpowered. It didn't matter a lot cos i had huge rear brake problems ie my discs are warped badly and even with the bias wound right off it really made it hard to drive. I been meaning to do something about this but last time i took the discs off and measured them i couldn't find anything in the DBA catalogue that went close. I've misplaced those measurements so i'll take em off again and measure. Just thought u might know what discs went with commy calipers on the rear? I understand that quiet a few guys have done this mod before You know I am considering pitching the 4spots and commy rears and going back to the lighter sumitomos and r31 rears. What do u think? cheers mick
