Durham Fiesta Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 mines just become road legal but over the winter got a few plans for it already lol
stevepeanut Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 I'm gonna rip out the autobox and replace it with a manual. But I know someone who has a manual box, and said he'll do me a good deal on a RS2000 motor so if I'm going manual I think theres a good chance I'll ditch the crossflow and move up to 2 litre. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks I'll have my garage done so I might buy another motorbike and restore it.
