Unfortunatley blew a head gasket at the Track Daze Dome day last month

The fire rings and o-rings looks intact, it just pushed the gasket out of the side of the block on No 1 inlet side.
Ended up buying a Cometic MLS one from the states but had to made to order.
Also got my coil over kits finished off and some new adjustable top mounts


While waiting for the Head gasket I also picked up some adjustable lower control arms to try and get some more camber on the fronts.

It handles heaps better now. I seem to have run out of thread on my tie rod ends though.
 
Has anyone heard of a rose joint kit that can remove the standard ball joint and allow for the extra camber?

Cheers. Its sitting at about 2.5 deg camber but anymore and I wouldnt be happy with the threads left in the tie rod ends. I will order the type Matt suggested.
 
I have a giant reign 1 and don't ride it as much as i would like. Great fun though.
 
Here is a shot from the rear.

264hp at the wheels @25psi.
 
It is running 35psi at the moment but i think the standard valves and head are restricting the flow getting into the engine hence high pressures.

Any chance of seeing some of your fuel/ignition maps??????
 
Also running an EMS, although an older dualsport, and would like to get a base tune before sending off to dyno.
I currently have some maps to start with from a T3 turboed pinto but would like to compare if possible??
 
Thanks, Shaun.

Shaun. See the link below. 
I am running 550cc injectors.
I was running a dual sport before and pretty sure my old maps are in there also.

Awesome......!!!!
 
I'm running a GT35 with the rx7 550cc injectors so should match up pretty close.
