Have fun. Don't forget to shim the cam to P75 clearances (rather than stock 1108 ones).

it's 30nm, then turn it 90degrees, then 90degrees again. but make sure you are doing them in sequence. starting in the middle at working outwards for each stage

I do that when i build wheels (bicycle) and i fit the disc to the hub.

So if your ever putting a disc on a hub on a bike. You've learnt!

well back on the road but it runs a little off i think ecu need to learn i some i think but any one know where to put the manifold absolute pressure sensor line on at with the p75 TB there is no place to plug it in so i put it on the intake by where the brake booster plugs in any one know

 

[arc]

i can't remember where i put it on mine, as long as it goes on the inlet somewhere, after the throttle then it doesn't really matter

 

[fasted]

well got a little more work to do. but it is on the road still got more parts comeing lol just wanted to ask to see what you all think would a 40 mm front in the back and a 20 mm drop in back look good hopeing for a slight RAKE look to it. but i dont know have not realy seen any cinq with a RAKE? but man its a little tire burner now lol :devil: very happy with the swap

Thought cinq sportings were dropped 20 anyway.
You might wanna go get some 60 springs and dampners for the front and just leave the back.

Let me know if I'm wrong still learning.
