    Standard air box query??

    The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

    Where to buy rear Koni adjustables?

    I've been trauling through suspension threads for the last hour and can't find an answer. Where does everyone buy them from? And, What is 'revalving'? Is it just matching the damping settings to OE spec or is it something specialist that the likes of MF would do? Thanks

    Decibel readings

    I know every track setup is different, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what readings people have got from noise tests at the track. My silenced Orbisoud with it's sports cat was 92db @ Bedford with 4/4.5k revs I think.
