theres a ram air box on ebay.

for the rest id get a shot engine and use the crank ect from that, then when its all ready itll be a simple engine swap.

Im sure the racers can tell you where to get the engine tuning done. I guess a blueprint would be a good start, polished ports and adjustable cams.

Hodson Engineering can do alot of that i think, but they are in Kent so a bit far from you!

If you want an RMKD head, then go to RMKD, he'll probably do it all for you, I haven't used him but he's certanily produced some fast bikes.

Otherwise you can get it all done at Dynotech in Basingstoke.01256 881711

Ebay, or keep an eye on the racing forums. But TBH, not worth the expense IMO, they'll be £350+ then plenty of Dyno time to get them set up. Can give a good power boost on a standard engine, but very little on a well tuned engine.

Not sure, but a chap called Anthony Hayward used to do them, not sure where or what he's up to now, Simon Lowes I think knows, http://zxrworld.co.uk/zxr400oc/memberli ... file&u=215

Here's acheap way of getting some of it :smt002 : http://www.400greybike.co.uk/forum/topi ... C_ID=70004

You don't often get oportunities like that! BTW, I don't know the bike or seller so don't know if it's any good, but the piston and rings alone cost £200 new and the SP cams cost near £500, so the engine alone at £500 is worth looking at :smt001 If I was still racing I'd be there like a shot :smt002
