Well, the bike is finally up and running again. It's spent more time on stands this year than on the road.
New motor, ceramic coated pistons,new turbo, new exhaust, new intercooler.
Lot's of cash thrown away again, but this time it's a bigger monster than before. It's got the same power with less boost, and once it's run in it's off to the dyno to turn up the boost.
Oh, and its just got fresh rego. Greenslip wasn't cheap

I'll get some pics up soon. my computer is dead so i'm borrowing one at the moment. as far as the boost goes, it'll be pumped up once she's run in. i'll keep to my promise. i hope

*gulp*
good on ya mate
I didnt think you would only rebuild it
as good
Little bit more "exciting: this time ?
You are living the dream, I wish I had the guts to do it to the 12 but to be honest the
thought of it just scares the
crap out of me
Make sure you get it in Rapid
*edit* Went and found the vid that turned me off it all
I put it on youtube it should be up soon (I have never posted there before) Turbo 12 LAE . but its not there yet. and HOW do I get my computer to play vids, it used to now it reckons I have got Javascript switched off *edit*

Way cool. Alex sure knows how to build em.
JP, congrats on getting it together, bigger and better. How do you think that thing would go at the track? EC / PI or wherever?

I doubt you could actually hold on to it if it wasnt strapped to a dyno....
