Nitrous upgrade

The nitrous system on the bike is a real bits of that bits of this system. NOS solenoids and plastic lines, NX Bottle, dynotune bottle warmer, NX foggers and schnitz controller. For quite a while I've wanted to change the Nylon fogger lines with braided ones but they are so expensive and you need different distribution blocks too. Some cheap ones came up recently but along with the price of the blocks it would still have been too much, but last week i managed to get hold of a full set of Nitrous Express lines, distribution blocks, pirhana foggers, jets and a 5lb nitrous bottle for a complete bargain price.
The parts i don't need have gone back on eBay and will help pay for them.
At the moment they don't quite fit and 2 of the hoses will simply need replacing with longer ones.

The Lambda sensor is installed and all the wiring is now finished. I'll need to do some tests with the Logger to make sure it's working the way i want but I'll do that sometime in the next couple of weeks when i get the bike out and give it a test run.

It doesn't seem likely that we'll be going to the straightliners event in march, so the Easter Thunderball will be the first outing for us in 2009
