Hi Russ

Seat unit is from qb carbon - pads original sp5. You can get the seat unit to fit the strada subframe ok..but have a wordk with rob b as hes got an original brand new SP0 subframe which would work a treat !!

A lot of interest in the pipes - they are as new, with hangers..first £325 gets them..

Cheers
Nat

Hello and welcome. A pint of Creme de Menth, thanks.
My comisserations in advance for the inevitable aggrivation you will undoubtedly receive along with T8 custodianship, but if you can keep it just short of being sectioned to the nearest asylum, you're doing it right.
Black spark plugs usually mean rich running by the way, i.e. too much fuel. I would first check or replace the air filter, maybe for a K&N type. If not the a quick rolling road session should see it ok. Or you may find that fitting some more open pipes with a new filter will lean it off to just right.
Regards.
Lyndsay.
