It was hard to tell from video, but make sure you add a grounding strap from the brake tee bolt at the rear to the fuel tank filler plate. Also the oil cooler is definitely on the large side, but since oil in the bike does double duty for trans and engine it might not be that overkill. I'd still plumb in a thermostatic bypass now vs after the fact. Progress is looking good!

Thanks Will, yes in the video I hadn’t mounted the grounding strap but I did do it off camera. Regarding the oil cooler I’ve just mounted a thermostatic bypass and will plumb it up on the next video. Thanks for your comments!

Hi @superbarnie, It's a rebuilt Ford Sierra 7" Push In Shaft Open Differential with a 3.38 Ratio.

@@rob_esser Wow that's unusual. I don't know much about Locosts, is there a reason you went with that rear end? Also is your Busa gearbox stock? Do people often change out gear ratios or anything like that?

@@superbarnie It is a little unusual, more typical is the Miata differential. However this is a UK designed kit and Sierras were plentiful and inexpensive in the day so I suspect that had something to do with it. My gearbox is stock as are all the ones used in the Cup and Sport 200 cars. With the Sierra diff it will give a RPM limited top speed of 130 MPH which is plenty fast enough. Driving the car, the ratios are close but not too close and so far I'm happy. I hope to take it to the track in September so we will see how it goes.
