ow do. right, got a dealim e5 with a techingas pipe -.- i know, a pile of wank but its the only pipe i can get for it,
i think i need to change my rollers down, doing so do i need a new variator or will i just get rollers the same size as the old ones?
i really do need help with this thing cos it tops out at 35 but it begs to go faster but just wont, its like hitting a brick wall when it gets there. plz plz i need some help bruvs :(

right.

35 sounds SHIT, is the variator derestricted? and come down about 1.5-2g on the rollers for the pipe, buy a selection. you wont need a new variator, just oder ones the same size, and make sure the exhausts derestricted aswel

yeah variator is derestricted and the exhaust, so i will change rollers. iv had them out before right and they r heavy fuckers :msn1: theyr just round bits of metal do u wreckon too heavy ones could bother my top end all together?

hmmmm heavy is usually better for top end
you say it feels like it hitting a walll
sounds to me you still have a restrictor in there somehwere

yer i know what u mean, but its more like going through a deep puddle than a brick wall, its hard to explain, it will go faster with a lot of force down a hill, but not much faster, im gonna go with some rollers.

a 6,3 any use? :wtf:
