Brake Upgrade Options?

Hi all. I'm curious to know what options are available to improve the brakes on my Mk2 Scala? Currently running stock and well serviced, and whilst fairly adequate I would appreciate any practical advise on improvement. Much appreciated!

Gear Linkage

Hi all,

I would like to tighten up the gear selection in my MK2 Scala injection as it has a fair amount of play (in addition to a nochety change from first to second).

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Cold Start Issue

Hi all,

My injected Scala is taking two or three turns of the ignition to get it started from cold. Seems like fuel is not getting through on first / second turn then fires up fine.
I've heard talk of 5th injector being the culprit although are replacements available? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Advice on removal of bodykit

Does anyone have any advice on safely removing the MK2 body kit that covers the sills? Have a small amount of welding to get done but the garage seem to think that body kit around the sill will need to come off in order to do so.

From what I've heard they're held in place with strong adhesive and ...
