Looks great Paul, I like the black and blue colour scheme. It makes a nice package.

JoJo,
Not mine unfortunately, just an ICV Chopper that I am engineering for a bloke at the moment. Pretty nice bike though, still needs a bit of work to pass ADR's though.
Cheers

Been a while since I did an update, I have moved from Canberra back to Townsville and back into my own place so the renovations have been taking over. I did manage to get the engine out and pull it down for a rebuild. It turns out there was a fair bit of pitting on the bore which led to all the smoke when you were on the loud pedal. Basically it is a new motor with pistons, rings, bearing all replaced. The block bored and honed, decked and dipped. the Crank was linished and the head had a full reco with big port cams. The engine should be back in the in the next week or so then it is off to run it in before the first race for the year on the ANZAC Day weekend.
Cheers
Paul
Very nice, good build Paul! i like it, good to see another 4agte
Cheers, still got a bit of work to do. The paint needs to be redone because when I did it the compressor was on its way out. Will have to wait until next Christmas though after the season is over. Still have to chuck a harness in and the RX-7 calipers and Pug discs but I am getting there. The missus is pregnant and the baby is due in September so I have to have it all finished by then or it will never get done
Cheers
Paul
congratz on the kid...you can sell them as a slave in progress you know
No sure that my wife would appreciate that I figured I wasn't getting any younger (33) so it was about time to start a family so that I have someone to pass this car onto in later years.

make sure you dont give him/her the car until he/she has had their 1st crash and is fully licensed and over 25 otherwise kiss it goodbye lol.
Yah can get a fair bit especially if it comes out with more fingers and toes.
