         I bought my Renesis from the same fellow. Say "g'day" to Rupert 
for me. :^)

         That's what Rupert charged me, but I had to pay shipping to the 
USA and paperwork costs.

         It is gorgeous, isn't it.

         I liked the look of the fuel rails too. Nice coils as well.

         I bought the six port, but I just picked it because it is rated at 
a higher HP. I wonder if there is anything different internally?

         See if you can glean any more information about what they were 
used for from Rupert.
