Title: Ivanising in April 2015
Post by: Falcon 269 on 14 January 2015, 05:06:08 pm
Hi all :)

I've had a few enquiries over the past month asking when I'll be back in the UK with my 'Ivanising' toolkit, so I figured it was time to gauge interest more widely. 

Subject to sufficient demand, I hope to make a visit during the period 23 - 26 April.  I don't have a lot of flex in my personal schedule this year but with luck these dates will work for most of those on my reserve list.

Venues are entirely open at the moment but Bristol looks a possibility for at least a couple of owners. 

If you are interested in finding out more about 'Ivanising' and/or would like to provisionally book a slot in the programme, please drop me an e-mail (mikegreatorexAThotmail.com) and I'll get straight back to you.

Please don't use PMs because I will only ask you to resend via e-mail ... it's easier to coordinate all the details by e-mail as the cunning plan takes shape, you see. :)

Cheers!

Mike

Doing great, Steve - thanks.  Thanks, too, for the thumbs up. :)

I've had a few replies overnight, which is very encouraging.  I need about 8 - 9 bikes to make this a feasible trip so hopefully some more will sign on soon.

Hi Mike
I certainly would like to get my bike Ivanised in your Bristol location - I live in Swindon just down the M4.  I have a 4 degree ignition advancer in mined - do I need to re-instal the standard one either before or after?

ivanised bikes are fine with advancer.

I've got 8 positive replies so far which is very encouraging.  Owners from Bristol, Swindon, Redditch, Bootle, Wakefield, London and Stamford.  I'm sure I can stitch an itinerary together which covers everyone and I still have a few spare slots available.

Don't delay, though - the programme is filling up quickly! :)

A little bump from another Full Montied member. definately worth every penny, totally transforms the throttle response and power delivery. If anyone is considering it I would definately recommend it, and Mike knows the process inside and out ;)

Full Monty is the only way to go, much better than the Slip On version.....I was pleasantly surprised at the difference
Title: Re: Ivanising in April 2015
Post by: red98 on 18 January 2015, 11:41:18 am
Not wanting to bother mike with what I think might be a numpty question.......whats the difference between slip on and full monty ?
Title: Re: Ivanising in April 2015
Post by: bigbluebear on 18 January 2015, 11:51:53 am
The main difference is modifying the air box and porting the inlet stubs, K&N air filter (although Scottish foccers got a pipercross variant) and the needles and jets are different.....I got an extra 6 bhp on mine and it's very noticeable

Thanks BBB, I already have the ivans jet kit, but dont know where to modify the inlets or airbox for maximum effect.....think its a good time to emal mike and let him work his magic on the mighty thou. ;)

The schedule is coming together nicely and I have 11 names on the list so far.

I'll be firming things up in the next few days so if you're thinking about this but haven't contacted me yet, don't delay any longer. :)

Where is the the sheet you got? You will have to show the almost linear power line

Some sound off it at full revs on the rolling road.

I did not do mine as I did not want to show you up, you know, bog standard with the same power  :lol :lol :lol

For April, unfortunately yes.  However, there's always the reserves list and if I have chance to slot in another weekend this year, I'll look at doing it. :)
