QUOTE (INVU @ Apr 26 2011, 04:59 PM)what is with the xr6 material seats? looks like it is coming along as a good project. keep it upThe material was cheap and accessible at the time. I didn't want to go with black vinyl throughout, so the trim was used in the seat centres the whole roof lining and the top of the door trims. 25th April 2011 - 11:07 PM

Cool gemini man... for sure!
Damn crap won't display more pics so i'll up them to the OP.
I've got a set of redline airsocks but it is tight in there. I might look into this space business you speak of. Maybe I can pinch another inch or two.

i dno but 20mm is achivable for a spacer, that would probably give you 30mm more space at the carbs. what size trumpets are they? could bring your power down the range with shorter ones.
I live out at Beaudesert. Not far from the coast. I'll have a look at the spacer option. The issue is going to appear at the gear box mount where there isn't a great deal of play. I'm using 40mm rams. The set I got was second hand and cheap. I haven't been able to source shorter ones. I know the shorter the runner length the lower the torque range. Not overly concerned with performance till I can get it tuned on the dyno and work out where improvement is required. 4th May 2011 - 04:15 AM
