    Graham - Rob was number 24. Got your email, reply on it's way shortly!

    Sven, somewhere in the region of 115bhp at the wheels, give or take a few, they are just standard engines, fireblades are either 919cc, or 929cc, and i'm the only Kawasaki which is 899cc!

    @B-Lorenzo, yes as Paul says no requirement for reverse.. If its anything like the Quaife Box that Jimmy had in his Busa, there is good bit of weight in it.. Just replace it with a short shaft. Speak to Jimmy, he had one lying around. Not sure if it would be the same though..I would hold on to it though in case the regs change in the future.

    jonny you sed with your brothers figure? thats the second jab at him about his weight :p

    @hilltop, considering dropping the transfer box, it saps alot of power im told and it weighs about 12kg, but isnt it required for mot... and i want to keep the car a road car as well! do you know the answer to that paul?

    He's very touchy about it lol!!!! ;) Don't think he's much different to myself tbh! Paul did a mot last year straight after sva with no reverse box. Afaik you neeed it for iva now but not 100% if its needed for mot now.

    LOL I could try but it ain't going to happen!! He loves to rub me up about my weight - just because he's paper thin! :p:p

    Not required for MOT Iain, honestly get it out straight away - westfield one is not a good design at all, you will definitely gain power and save a fair amount of weight! That combined with passenger seat and carpets would leave you a lot closer!

    @Paul - pity the camera wasn't working for 2nd race, the last few laps would have been great to see
