Re: New Big Block Gran Turismo Kit 200-245cc

Are you going to do a 225 off the shelf? And what difference does the porcupine head make in real terms?

Re: 3 year wait- was it worth the wait PX digital speedo

In the process of fitting one to my '03 LML, not a direct fit by any means but it would be on a PX with three extra wires to connect, earth, ignition live and a splice into the lighting wire. Self test function on ignition is really cool!

Re: GTS lost keys

I believe the ECU does ignition too so running a carb would still need some way of advancing the spark? If I had a wiring diagram I may be able to see what's going on.

GTS lost keys

I've been offered a written off GTS300, cat B so has to be broken for spares. I've been considering converting a GP to auto so this would be ideal, only problem is the keys are missing. Is it a simple case of getting another ECU and keys or is there another way? Other option I suppose is to sell the...

I've got one gone out of shape too.

Re: Jetting for a Revolver exhaust

Are you running an air filter? My 200 was running crap with a 122 until I took the filter off.
