Finally after nearly 2 years we have got it going!
SFA with 3.0 D4D conversion.
Quickly took it for a spin - goes OK.
Now for some final odds & ends and then a good dyno tune!
It's a little muddy right now - but I still got to play with the small stick!

D4D in a SFA is the ultimate conversion. Well done.

Shane, you add weight to that small motor multi gear fagmobile [of Ricoffy's] and it'll stop using the top 4 gears [of the 10]....
