Finally got round to fitting today
Thanks to your instruction the fixing of the solenoids were easy
The wiring was not, as the instructions showed the 6 wires for the central locking as completely different than those on the actual control unit
A multimeter, 50 minutes & belief in the FORCE sorted them out, even managed to connect up the indicators flashing - once for Lock & twice for unlock Also had a small LED to mount on the dash that flashes when locked to look like a alarm - all that for £9.99 incl postage from HK.
It even had the facility to pop the Fuel Flap/Rear hatch but I quit while I was ahead.

Must be one of the best mods per £ going.
What else could make you smile that much for a tenner (Don't answer that).

New MOT today, all good for another 12 months

Keith what was the mileage difference from last years, mine was 34 ............ but then I did spend most of the year in South Korea ..........

A very embarrassing 600 miles and 200 of those were going to retro rides
Should be easy to beat that this year though !

Spent a bit of time on the 7 this weekend, I've been collecting bits for a while and managed to get the final parts last week.

So my plan was to get rid of this...


And replace it with this...


While I was doing the job I thought I might as well bang a couple of 20mm core plugs in so I won't loose my coolant if I remove the manifold, I also gave the rad and block a good flush through with the hose pipe. While access was good I decided to lag the exhaust to keep a bit of heat away from the carb.


So 48 IDA fitted, did a little mod to re-use the omp lines and had to make a bracket for the throttle cable, I also used the cable quadrant from an old nikki as the IDA one made using the original cable difficult.


It started well, so I went for a blast and couldn't believe the difference, the torque in the lower rev range is far better and the engine is much more responsive so I'm a very happy bunny. By the way did I mention the noise, its addictive !


Got it on my gas analyser and this is where it seemed to be happiest...


Just need to burn some fuel now

Nice

Is there any way that you can compare your before and after gas mileage? Would be interesting to see.

Good for you dude, KN filter the carb is a must or wearing the chome out quicker if don't.

That looks familiar......

They're a good upgrade

Yeah, you ever seen that pic of the side plates chewed up by not using an air filter?

I've ordered a filter, just wanted to see if I could live with it before I spent any more cash.
Tonight I found an old wiring loom so I will strip all the unwanted stuff out and tidy the engine bay.
As for mpg Dave I suspect it will be down to mid teens
