More info on the Jahspeed DMJ, the pipe itself is actually 'blown' so as not to fall apart, they are not built out of cones
and rubber mounts are used wherever possible to prevent breakages. Also you don't have to have the muffler on top, you can have
it on the bottom, however you like. John at Jahspeed custom builds the pipes as you want and
he is already taking orders for the DMJ, bear in mind that each pipe can take around two and a half days to make. Give Jahspeed a call on 01206 871363. 27/05/02 :
Update on the new exhausts in the pipeline... Jahspeed's 'DMJ' (pictured on the right) has been dyno'd this week and they finished up with a 93 main jet
which gave a perfect curve as seen on the dyno. Apparently "the longest mid-range of any Dragster pipe" they've tried. The pipe pulled 98mph on the dyno
(Dragster 180) with 3.5 hp over standard. By all accounts the pipe should work well with a gear-up kit. As you can see the exhaust has been designed to
profile better with the shape and flow of the Dragster and it looks like they have achieved that. Price around £280. 24/05/02 :
MJ Designs have made a prototype speedo face for the Dragster. The prototype has a silver face
and is back lit in green. MJ can make custom speedo faces to your liking and it's possible to have either KPH or MPH, your own custom motif, any colour
and there are numerous fonts to choose from, MJ can also extend the speed range indicated on the dial
(for those of you with tuned motors who tend go off the clock). MJ Designs are in the process of making some more prototypes with the possibility
of an Italjet Dragster.com speedo face in the pipeline... More news on that later. The price for the speedo faces are £25.00 plus £3.00 postage and packing.
If you'd like to place an order, then send Jason an email at MJ Designs and he'll crack on with it. Delivery times are currently running
at around 3-4 weeks due to demand. 22/05/02 :
As the SANTA POD HIJACK looms closer, there's still some time left for any dealers out there wishing to exhibit their wares
at the event (and make a few sales too). Any interested parties can contact either myself
or Stuart Owen at Team 100-mph Lambretta.com for booking details. You'd be advised
to book now though as spaces may be limited. 21/05/02 :
PM Tuning news update: a new improved PM59 X-TECH PRO will soon be available, the latest feature will be a new gold anodised CNC hanging bracket due for production in June.
The pipe has been developed with all new pressings to create two halves hence, a lot of money and development time involved. No price increase though (same price as PM58)
as all costs have been absorbed by PM Tuning. PM have a lot of confidence that proceeding sales will cover tooling/development costs over the next year
with sales already out-stripping supply (current waiting list approx. four weeks). New carbon fibre parts are still in the development stage with some parts being more
technically difficult than first anticipated. The new billet carb is still at the 3D CAD stage, re-testing of the CNC prototype will commence soon. 17/05/02 :
Interest in this year's SANTA POD HIJACK is starting to build up with
scooterists from Europe now expressing an interest in some UK sprinting action.
Italjet Dragster.com have
joined forces with Team 100-mph Lambretta.com to promote the event, but to ensure the hijack gets publicised on
a wider scale we need YOUR help... 15/05/02 :
If, like myself you've been looking for a decent speedo, I finally found this, it's made by X-MAS in Austria and it's called 'Mother'
(name influenced by the film Alien perhaps?) 07/05/02 :
If you've been reading the message board lately, you will have gathered that I went to Sweden last week for the May Day gathering and to visit
Hojladan in Stockholm. So here's Jonas Erasmie's report on the May Day event, I couldn't have written it better myself: |

It rocks!! You may recognise that it's also the tacho which Ivan Illesh fitted to his custom black Dragster in Russia (as pictured 
A 'cover' for both of these is available in black, chrome and silver. Fitting instructions (for the 'Mother') and a catalogue can be downloaded as .pdf files at the X-MAS
