  1. Just go AES ( auto electrical Spares ) paramount drive, henderson. building backs onto moutn shop tell them your a friend of Liam and he sent you, they'll sell you the parts or starters you need at good good prices.
  2. Its got a rough lean too. The old man is going to be building a big shed ( 200-250sq ) bottom floor with living accomodation to hoard stuff over the next couple years. But currently, no. Haha
  3. Maaaate, already there. Puegeot 106, AE86, TE31, AA60 Carina, Triumph Dolomite.. Ah awesome! Good to know theres some people actaully down there
  4. I've put in an offer on a house, and am settling end of April. I work remotely, so I'll be living and working at home for a weee while. Question, IS there any southland people on here? Do you guys do catch ups etc? Spur of the moment moving down there, was trawling trademe and found a place I liked, so put in an offer and yeah....... We got a branch in Invercargil, which if possible I might try work out of a few days a week to have some communication with people rather than spreadsheets haha. I may or may not have an old car ( probably just my peugeot 106 ) for down there as rest will stay up in auckland.
  5. Holy Hell. Its been a long time, and car has had some different things happen to it. Went and had all the rust cut out ( sat outside for like 6 years and completely rusted out the doors / around screens / guards etc. ) I put a 4AGE in this, one of out my old SR coupe, found a T series disc brake rear end for this one, got it running yadda yadda. Then stripped it to get panel and painted. Its now white, with all the chrome / bits and pieces done in black. Also went and got the sump on my new bigport dipped and plated, alternator bracket, water pump pulley, spark plug cover etc all done ( gearbox crossmember too with new mount ) plus some light surrounds and random bits and pieces to make it look a tad nicer, excuse the old pics, have chucked in new bolts everywhere. Brand new door rubbers Brand new door cards New alternator New high torque starter Have just wrapped the exhaust and chucked that in tonight First time in 7+ years the car has BOTH window wipers and a wiper motor now. Got some Bathurst Globes for it which i'll sand up and chuck on. Hoping to have running by the 17th for the japanese meet, and then cert and sell...
  6. I am hoping to have car running by then, just did the heat wrap on headers, and sat there struggling trying to fit them into stupid TE31 for a couple hours. Mark ( AE25 ) is also running his japanese annual meet on the 17th Jan, so might be of an interest to you lot? If i don't come in my TE31 ( will be its second outing in maaaaany years ) i'll come in porsche for a burger haha.
  7. I work for partmaster so just buy everything through work. Can price you up a set if your interested? Just catalogued em today so should show up on a rego search on our website now. Can also do various monroe ones, but the prices jump up heeeeeeaps.
  8. give Partmaster a call. Ask for Jared. Tell him exactly what you want And i'll get him to try sort you out a decent price if we've got anything suitable.
  9. even to clear the 266s? Shiiiit I didn't bother reading too much or measuring. Just merely went to work and ordered the junk. Worse comes to worse, i'll try find some 15" minilite reps or something
  10. I've started ordering parts Got me a exedy clutch, all new shocks, got a brake upgrade, threebond cleaner all turned up Got a front lip to mod and put on too. Waiting on my short shifter, gear linkages, new key and lowering springs to turn up. Using Early 206 GTi Rotors & Calipers, so goes from a 244mm to a 266mm vented + bigger calipers ( was hoping to go to the 288 but realised the wheels were only 14" so unsure if they'd fit ) So they'll be cleaned, painted & rebuilt. New Rotors & pads. The shocks are a crazy funny length, the rears are tiny. Like 320mm extended.
  11. I got bored the other day, and figured i'd need something new to drive once my porsche sold. I bought this Peugeot 106 Apparently had been listed a few times. Bought it sight unseen, only really asked about the clutch - and typical dealer. Lied. It'll be a cool little project. Its an XSI so has the 1.6L, 5 speed manual. Everything standard Has a crazy amount of receipts and wof sheets ( rebuilt head & practically every wof is a clean sheet aside from odd tire every couple of years ) Good things: Has quite a lenient wof. Has rego. Has 4 wheels. It starts ( just ) Bad Things: Clutch slipping Shocks fucked Brakes suck Who ever painted it, shouldnt be allowed to paint. Broken Left park light / indicator Broken Passenger mirror No fog lights Goals: Replace Clutch Replace buggered shocks Fit brake upgrade Lower 40-50mm Tidy up dents & broken parts Tints Respray white & Fit / find Rallye Guards + stickers
  12. I don't have anything oldschool that actually drives ( legally drives ) TE31 being panel beated and painted, AE86 can't drive more than 20kph or bonnet flies up haha, carina has a stuck clutch. Got a porsche that can come in, am I allowed to park downstairs or something like it was few years ago hahah
  13. friend started to do some work on the cheap chinese TDR replica wing that came with it.. trying to look something like this as an end game goal ha
  14. Have done a little bit of work, but have lost all motivation.. Bought some more stuff from japan, waiting on my new window clips to turn up for the glass to be chucked in.. Bought some new weather seals - the hard U shaped ones for the doors from ali express ( like $12 for 4m rolls lol ) Also been trying to find the rest of the plastics i'm missing.. Also been splicing the 20v blacktop loom, which is my first ever attempt at wiring - its prob gonna be a fuck up, but i guess thats how you learn.. Sold the alloy 86 radiator for a rx3 one instead, have also undercoated the entire inside aside from roof before chucking in the interior.. bought a sweet as bonnet strut thing off ebay haha, new stainless exhaust and some gauges through work, trying to decide if i wanna put in the center console or hide in glovebox, also sandblasted / heated/ painted the center console, but used a gloss black haha might re do it a matt or something else instead..
  15. Slightly random, but i do this for a living, been learnign how to use old lathes, a mill, trying to start to learn to weld alloy with tig... can't wait till they teach me how to rewind rotors/ stators/ armatures haha... Anyway, Ford Zephyr Starter.. Original.. And denso gear reduction replacement for it.. We make these at work for ANYTHING and everything, done a few for rolls, a ferrari, heaps of old lada's + a 16.1:1 datsun race engine haha.. Pretty much take the customers sample to make up a gasket, and do some measurements and then make up a housing and then a heat up and tap fit plate ( welded if really needed - but not usually needed ) They look ace once been blasted and then skimmed on the lathe so shiney etc ( not like the one below forgot to take pic of it finished haha ) Maybe some of you dudes appreciate it - i find them quite fun to make and the customers always love not cranking the shit out of there old fucked starters haha
