  1. Had a thought I may go out on the Scrambler this morning, so I went to the garage and started them both up. After about a minute I decided against going out as it’s absolutely fecking freezing :cold_sweat:

  9. Did the lower, as it’s Valentine’s Day. Went surprisingly well tbh, took about 45 minutes.

  15. Currently no wheels on my wagon... but tank for the 916 in with PT for sealing so might manage to have both running in time for summer... [​IMG]

  16. not setting out to be scare-mongery here Kev, but have you looked at treating your 9*6 to a set of BMC air filters? Expensive I know at nearly £200 posted, but I had a similar air filter to yours on my first 996 (ITG? - MWR similar also) and after realising on inspection that the distortion evident on the top of the filter was actually melted foam, together with drips of molten filter on the butterfly below, I vowed never to fit anything similar in the future. I've posted on here before, that it's best to be prepared in the event of a backfire through the inlet. i.e. - if it ever happens followed by smoke and maybe a burning smell then best thing to do is to immediately start the engine (unless shower injector equipped) as it will 9 times out of 10 suck the fire out*.

  18. Thanks for this; I've not had any issues but this sounds sensible. I will add it to the loooonng list of jobs I keeping starting but not finishing... my excuse this last few months is that it has been too chilly in the garage despite heaters. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it... o_O Cheers, K.
