Got kinda bored with the 1.0 exhaust cam, it was good in a way but I missed revving it and it was slightly more difficult to overtake too, so out it went and I put the 1.3 back in. Which has got my 0-60 down to a much better level and overtaking is alot easier too. Doesn't quite have the pulling power though, drove it fully laden with a full tank and three passangers and just thought it would have been smoother and better with the 1.0 ex cam.
So while I was re-installing the exhaust cam I painted my rocker/cam cover. Just out of bordem and curiosity really. Painted with a high temp black spray paint, nice n subtle.
Removed 'L' pipes for breather hoses, and unscrewed black ignition-lead clips. Used a lid cap to cover the oil filler cap area, and golfballs to cover the spark plug holes, only masking tape was on the black plastic hose connector I couldn't remove.
Dried a little paler and to a matt finish.
Removed paint from the letters with a screwdriver and installed.
Wanted to paint the exhaust heat shield too but one bolt is rounded and won't budge.
Swapped my grill for a spare set I had which have been colour coded with the centre bar painted black.
Just thought I'd see what it looked like, and have a bit of a change. Not that much different than before though.
Look what I got through the post:

Not fitted them yet, planning on going a little lower first.
Hooded Reepers light weight flywheel, thanks Hooded(Y)
Weighs in a 4.5kg, apparently. I make it almost 5kg, but I'll assume I'm wrong 'till I try something better than 10year old kitchen scales:laugh:
