i thought it was properly fixed to the pedal - didnt spot the cable tie. dodgy

looks like it's for a person with very short legs. i don't really see the problem there.

dad and 2 kids. at first i thought the tyre was flat

another k12 with orange mag and stripe spotted. base colour s silver though.

whatever this is.

by the way, old steel wheels have the thingy cap over hub nut only, whereas these days plastic hub cap covers the whole wheel.

are those old style caps just push fit?

in certain context, lime scooters on a footpath are far more dangerous than say a moderately looked after p10.

seen some with absolutely bald tyres

very nice too bad it's 5 doors.

actually i took the heater matrix out also, for some reason. a/c was dead but heater was still good.

i think the easiest solution is just to use the factory housing minus a/c evap and plug any holes or gaps.

cowl air inlet->blower (i presume with an integrated fresh air/recirc valve)-> a/c->heater->air distribution thingy->ducts?

i just took the a/c evaporator/piping out and plugged them then put back in its place.

its p10 though.

apparently owned ~10years.

nice hub caps.

No pics?

im sure i ll come across again. not sure what happened to k11 but do see k12 occasionally.

a while back spotted an orange-on-black k11, then the same colour scheme on k12. yesterday saw a juke with the same colours.

supercats dont come in 13"?

way back US fiat guys were going on about sumitomos but not sure if nz has them.

But now she wants a mini 

 

but that doesn't look like much of "a project"

Measured from top of arch as far as I know. Won't be many arches that don't curve inward. This part of the PDF covers bolt on flares, but if if you just have unmodified body, then measure the same way and should be good. I'm sure Clint will confirm yeah / nah.

this one shows factory body better vs tyre tread, only shows front/back profile with top of arch used as reference

Unless it was posted by someone you know isn't an idiot... then take with salt. Front guards for example tend to just bolt on, so I can't see how they would link that to being structural.

That said, people will probably ruin guard rolling too, by taking the piss and they will have to bring in rules.

 

Had to flare mine to get enough clearance through full suspension travel for my cert. Didn't even come up as a mention when I explained how I got the clearance. Double skin in rear of mine so fold it over doesn't really change much. Front couldn't do much as bolt on single skin so weak as fuck arch.

 

that second link from NZTA talks about tyre load and speed ratings suitable for the vehicle but do tyres on the same axle have to have matching ratings? it doesn't seem to mention it, so just to be sure. i mean, i'm guessing most tyres for typical passenger cars would have the ratings well above the required load and speed.

for some reason,  when i was younger these were far uglier than there mini mini front end, but now i prefer these

semi-related, how much of the guard has to cover over the tyre/wheel for it to be legal. most guards are widest at the top and tapers in down at sill level?

behind the viper there a green thing too
