  1. Citric acid look at the active ingredient on radiator flush bottles Buy from the supermarket for like $2 in the baking aisle
  2. Multiple reasons can’t be fucked with the admin of getting cert from a remote area can barely fit in the thing anymore and too harsh bumpy for me and the missus to enjoy with our aging and decrepit bodies it’s all about comfort now Over the whole “miata yata with juddies drop kick dumb kid culture that has grown around the cult car “ and don’t want to be associated with it in any way shape or form Really enjoying having the shed and hoist space back
  3. And sold as a rolling shell and gone to a good home no one was interested in the engines so I’m thinking mini jet boat no regerts made back what I spent on it not counting time and have a shed full of tools and skills I picked up working on it
  4. Because muppets and also ftp i looked at buying some and right hand drive dip are rare and spendy Very popular in the mx-5 world but the plan seems to be just put the stock headlights back in for warrants / cert
  5. Ah there is probably a hockey match on or moose season or something
  6. Are you communicating direct with 14.7 in the USA ? Had excellent response times from them even considering time zones
  7. Steel sleeve inside the bike rack so it’s a tighter fit on the ball and a plate with a hole in it at the top of the sleeve so the tow ball top has something to locate to and the bolts have something to pull down against when I worked in a bike shop the owner had a merc with euro tow ball and just bought the T7 rack that fitted and that was pretty much the difference can prob buy just the upright not the whole rack
  8. Have put 1.5 ton on the 250kg setting on a supercheap hoist and then moved it around … as above I would be more worried about centre of gravity than shear strength
  9. Yes they do so need monitored / maintenance charging and to be stored in a flameproof storage We have all seen the videos of exploding vapes cellphones and laptops Once they go puffy chuck them out on the concrete driveway hook up an old unregulated car battery charger and a long extension cord stand well back and flick the switch lol
  10. Actual zero on a lithium battery is past the voltage they go puffy and catch on fire there will be a cutoff in the controller or battery pack well before that ( meter may say zero but the actual cell voltage will be at a safe minimum )
  11. Here’s a mates old one for inspiration Ducati style fairing and his own handmade solo seat
  12. ATV winch cos remote controls I have one which I am looking at using to power a lifter for the spa pool cover
  13. https://stickyflanges.co.nz Or aliex if you are in no hurry
  14. Rc escs get their control signal as a pwm from the receiver so a link ecu should be able to drive one no problem … water pump controller $250+ Rc 200amp esc - $60-80 …
  15. Built one on the end of my welding table using old grader blades
  16. Little truck handbrake disc system - Nissan condor uses disc handbrake and the caliper is just basicly 2 long bars of steel with brake pad holders - pivot at one end and handbrake cable squeezes the two onto the disc - spring retracts - about as simple as it gets
  17. Is the cigweld 135 mig the same they sell at supercheap ? If so i had one it’s ok but upgraded to a newer inverter style mig and the difference is very noticeable also the cigweld 135 is not a replaceable binzel style hose / hand piece
  18. Ha scuttle shake is such a convertible thing … prob why they put the strut brace on tightening up the door fit does a lot to fix it - if it has rubber blocks in the door striker areas then making some delrin blocks like Mx5s will help
  19. Beautiful machines probably the finest ever Ford out of England my misspent teens were spent in mk3 s the 6s always lost 2nd gear and then eventually threw # 5 rod out of bed a nice mk3 lowered a little and debumpered and with the front and rear seams removed is a very slippery and road hugging aerodynamic shape will be awesome with 289
  20. Yup I missed the hybrid part in the title of that link and at the bottom of the std motobatt features page
  21. Um not really when the 16 series are about 150-160 on tard me …
  22. Apparently some machines call 30% positive 70% or some tucked up shit - like whole backasswards to the other manufacturers and yeah it makes tungsten not happy if you set wrong way So yours may be minus 30 ? Been watching a lot of this guy like his plain fucking English approach and covers from simple to in-depth as possible
  23. Yup got pedal bottle new gloves and all sorts of consumables sitting here - haven’t even opened the boxes yet lol
