Been looking around for a light weight batterey for a few weeks now, came accross this on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tab%3DWatching 6.1kgs :D If memory serves me right the standard batterey is around 15-18 kgs, can any one confirm? so in theory could be a 10kg weight saving...

Its a must! the sound of turbo :o ... Would love to see that go ivan :cool: , did it feel quicker than your 172?

Ivan that thing looks sweet! bet it went like s**t off a shovel :evil: what bhp was it running

Thought it was the H&R's that were fixed camber as standard... May sound simple but is your arch lineing all clipped back properly?

Group N map runs muuuuuch better on v-power :approve: .. just a shame it is 6p more a litre :dapprove: .. all adds up

Have heard/seen people remove the arche lineings when they go below 30/40mm on coilys bare in mind the camber, was the camber adjustable? if so that could bring one side closer to the arch lining if not set-up properly.. from memory i think the H&R's are fixed camber though..
