Just switched to a TKI3 at Racetoberfest and all i can say is WOW. No more trying to find a good setup that is fast and easy to drive. MBX6R is now just a dust collector.

If u want i can bring both over and u can give them a whirl and i can check out the facility.
I should have the track and tower race ready by late march. shut down for winter right now. thanks for the info. I will start doing some reading and window shopping.

So is the rb 2045 and the nova 2096 very close in performance? My 9886 got crushed in a t bone wreck and im looking for a replacment, and theres a 2045 in the sale section for $20. Also how does the 2058 pipe work on a p5?

Yea 86 pipes are pretty violent once they finally get on the pipe

Yes 2058 will feel more balanced

2096ss/41021 feels really good on the p5xlt with outstanding mileage

We tested the Buku here for a while. Sorry, but that clutch is not ment for me. Very smooth, adjustable. But i could not get the adjustment right. When i finally got the clutch to my liking, it ran warm after 5-7 minutes beacuse the shoes started slipping. I had adjusted the springs to hard. When i loosend it up a bit, ( 1/4 of a turn) the clutch engaing to early and not enough snap. Tried a few different things, but actually wan`t back to the stock mugen clutch with two 0.95 bsprings and one 1.0 spring.

Another thing u gotta be careful of is i.d. Of the clutch bell

I can tell ya right now when you got all things right on the buku its unbeatable

Everybody knows i dont just say things to sell shit so thats not where i'm coming from
