My 5EB blue spots have arrived :mrgreen:

Are the calipers a straight bolt on or do I need to do any fab work? I could go and measure up but its too bloody cold :down:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Just had a price back for a set of headers from NRP Exhausts. He wants £400! :twisted:

F**k that, I'll get a complete system from the States for 2/3 that price!

Anyone know what mods are required to fit 3TJ headers? Any others that will fit, like 3HEs?

3TJ's will fit but won't sit quite right and will probably burn the bodywork. They might sit high which could cause the engine to get hot (conjector + opinion)
3HE pipes will hang low (the barrels are longer you see) and will burn the belly pan.

Got a BN old stock genuine nose cone off the bay for £80 :mrgreen:

Going to blank off the headlight socket and get that painted up.

Have decided that I'm going to get a daytime MOT on it for now, once my friendly MOT tester has told me what I do and don't need. It's too much of a grey area for my liking :twisted:

i looked into it a while back. it was a horn and rear brake light that were required but it could have changed since! obviously it needs an exhaust that they deem quiet enough. but that is the testers decision. my mates duke passes with a full termi system on it at my local place!
