    Makes sense. Shame I can't find a propper pipe for it. Oh well, it'll do for now :D

    Right, now its time for the gear up kit,
    it would be handy if someone had a guide for ratios, i've done loads of reading on the web but couldnt find too much.

    I have taken a gamble and ordered this gear up kit -

    http://www.ve-supermarket.co.uk/catalog ... _model=566

    its the malossi MHR HTQ z 16/37 - hopefully this will be ok?

    It Should be easy enough to fit, I have access to a press. I'd rather bung someone some money to fit it but I realy don't know of any decent trustworthy fitters round my way. Will have to do some more investigation!

    i get an indicated 45mph, i dont want to push it any harder because it sounds like its revving quite high. the sat nav reckons it was going 39 mph whilst the speedo was indicating 45.

    Can't wait to see what difference the gear up kit makes....
