is the rear valance not a legal requirement? How come everyone doesnt remove them, if so?

Very nice exhaust! could you pm me how much it cost please?

[Scottym]

Valance isn't a legal req, its mostly left on to keep things looking tidy under there!

[danwebster]

Well...its no secret really, all you have to do is phone Maniflow and tell them you want a stainless miglia exhaust.

It was 420 quid all in

Personally I don't like cars with no valance - but obviously its your choice.

However if the tailpipes came through the valance, or the valance was cut round them, it would look damned good and maybe more 'finished' - especially given the build standard it looks like the rest of the car is getting.

Top work, just don't look at the bills and your bank account for a while

Im currently trying to source a K1100 head in the vain hope i can get an engine like yours together, is the K1100 head the same one you get with the KAD kit?

Cheers

[danwebster]

No, the k1100 head is a production head from a BMW motorbike, whereas the KAD head is a purpose made head for the A series.

The end result will be similar though!

[not so mini dan]

Meh, would the KAD fitting kit help then or would i need to custom fabricate stuff?

[andywaller]

for the k1100 you will need to speak to specialist components or if you like morspeed

KAD have nothing to do with them

[danwebster]

Theres a bit of specialist machine work to do to the block I beleive, but if you buy a kit from SC or Morspeed I think you'll get pretty much everything you need to build one - you just need to get the block sorted.
