    yer tomoz will be a good tidy up along with figuring out the speed sensor drama.

    its goes **** loads better!

    performance and how much smother it runs and sounds

    clutch is 100 times better with a proper flywheel too

    the spark plug leads looked funny to me, i asked them about them, and they said there the wire plug leads
