Very cool rant!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Please keep us posted on the rebuild. I plan to keep my Sporty for as long as possible. So an engine rebuild/replacement will eventually be needed. Great info on the details of the engine design - lots of stuff I didn't know about. Too bad the ECUs can't be tweaked to adjust the timing through the firmware. From what I've read, the BOSCH boxes can't be reprogrammed... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Great post - looking forward to more updates... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
