        Fry up all seems nice and pulls well, idle is a little bit hesitant but will let it run for a while. Gonna do a few more miles this weekend and will let you know more but yes a nice difference.

        Damn juicy when you cane it but then thats the flip side of such fun!

        Just running with ABS off as switch gone a bit cuckoo so got to remove CV and clean up the ol reluctor ring.

        I have never removed CV before, any tips?

          How bad have you got the mpg... if it isnt less than 15s dont be a cry baby best or worst i have achieved is in the 12s on a run with a red Italian last week you do need to do a good few hundred miles exploring the rev range for everything to settle down nicely

            If its the outer just do the bolt up through the cv untill it pops of very easy

              you don't need to remove it to clean the ABS ring anyway, just release the hub bolt with the wheel on the ground and undo the BJ pinch bolt and you can wire bush it out etc whilst still on the driveshaft
