Helmets???
yeah get an open one if your wanting to do alot of track days as then at least you can hear and talk to your passenger, with the closed ones they cover your mouth so talking is hard work. will be more comfortable and easier to see. I will protect your head, just be careful of ya chin lol

blow compressed air down the holes, also follow the drain pipes to make sure they havent popped off, mine had but luckily i had noticed it and put it back on, i also heated up the pipe and stretched it to give itsome extra length as theshrink with age and pop off.

Theres a midget bloke in ascot i know with a couple spanners and a hammer, he has offered to fit it all for £30 including VAT. ah one more thing mark, you see the 3 bolt compressor oulet in the pic above, does that require a gasket or can liquid gasket be used?

Thanks, ive forgoten the name, but they are the same as the jwt530bb's but the inlet hasnt a flange, so i will be using a silicon coupling which is a pain coz its bit close to the manifolds, which is one of the reasons i have heat wrapped them. Same compressor size and turbo ball bearing housing as silverstreak.

Tyre pressures....getting them right
Honestly the tyre heats up quicker with more pressure i too thought it was the other way around till i came across endless threads and write ups on tyre pressures etc. If the tyres were seriosuly low pressure then the tyre "walls" would heat up and probably blister duw to excess friction but its a different matter in the centre of the surface patch. stock Zeds heavy yes especially when adding weight ie ICE systems, heavy 19inch cheap wheels, bolt on mods etc!?! mine isnt so much anymore, it weights 1470kg ;) compared to some 1700kg zeds. im still to fit lightweight glass and lots more :D The pressures i used seemed to work well so i stuck to them , dont forget it was in august and it was VERY VERY hot sun was blazing engine was overheating etc.

Compression testing
id say no problem, but they gota make a deal, if the compression is up to scratch they gota buy it, would be a right pain in the ass and a waste of time otherwise unless doing it themselves which means you gota watch them do it which is still time consuming.
