    Got my new Tig today much excitement ensued banged everything together smashed some settings into it without reading the manual and turned out this weld on my kids quad frame. Little hot not pretending I was an expert before but shit that's passable. Forgot how rapidly the arc gives you sunburn. Just a tad over $2k for the new setup Strata 200A ACDC Tig ex demo including a bottle I bought from Gaspro Hamilton welder was from Proline in Nelson.

    I've switched over to them $60 for a Co2 fill can't go wrong. Some welding consumables in store too which he gave me for free mig tips etc.

    Spent up a storm at GASPRO in Hamilton this weekend getting my existing Co2 recertified and filled and also bought a Argon bottle to go with my Tig. $730 later...... had a good yarn though so I tried to get my bottle done by Coregas who couldn't say when I'd get it back so they said to go there, Gaspro has basically got everyone's bottles going through them now Bunnings swappable Coregas you name it. Lockdown restrictions have paralysed everyone as they are filled in Auckland. There you go just go to them 1-3 days for a fill and they are cheaper.

    The Harley exhaust arrived fits where I want it surprisingly well but mufflers are absolutely huge so may get chopped in half and tigged back together came with a massive catalytic converter which I won't use so takes about 600mm out of things. Will continue to shuffle things may be able to chop things around and tuck in more everywhere.

    Just finally (after 20 years) pulled the trigger and bought a decent tig I sold off my big mig to buy it and threw some car project money in so I could get an ACDC unit so can do alloy. This brings me to the fact its way flasher than anything I've used before, where the fuck do i start? I can weld fortunately but I'll definitely be rusty so any interesting websites or YouTube channels I should watch? The lingo has me baffled.

    Oh I also dropped $500 on stereo gear to get my stash of stuff installed, walked into cash converters on weekend and scored the triple pre-out head unit I needed for fuck all the fitting kit and fascia cost more than the stereo.

    Been a while..... headers and intercooler setup are on back order but will be on the way after Christmas Not a bad way to drop 2.5k but should see 250kw easily by cranking the boost up to moderate levels with some headroom.

    C02 ring around outside of inlet to blast freeze the whole thing, start each run at -60c have seen a wrx with double walled intercooler pipes before for this exact reason.

    Just bought this off mrs today she was going to trade it she's owned it since new so serviced by dealer then me since. Cool thing was it was the ex Fairview mazda demo model so has every possible option including one of the best stock stereos I've heard in a while, I had a 12" sub installed a few years back so I'm upgrading that to my twin 12" subs from my Vw further back in this thread. Plan is to chuck some Mustang 19" wheels on it and just enjoy it for a bit while I finish my Holden engine swap then just keep it tidy.

    The noise from this though absolutely glorious does limit the ability to use it. I looked at buying all the bends.... expensive, using the equal length headers I made for my scooter they mount on wrong side. So instead I stumbled across full exhaust system off a Harley Davidson night rod which mounts on the right side and is designed to tuck up quite high so should land in a good spot. Should tone it down a bit and still sound good I may need to make a muffler to keep the length inside the wheel base.

    So this thing doesn't drift...... it does fucking hectic donuts though, on tarseal you need to stay up it as it bites if you back off mid spin. More practice is needed I think, and some slick go kart tyres for Rear would help as the sidewall rolls under on the quad tyres. Sounds pretty much like a V Rod in both tone and volume im extremely unpopular with my neighbours tonight and large chunks of lawn are hanging off the fence.

    Let's polish this turd! All cracks fixed and bogged time for some hi build primer to fill in the 240 grit sand job. Seems to have stuck well gun hasn't seen much use for ages was a bit splattery to start.

    Unsure if flamboyant enough to paint this chameleon green purple I did my sons dirtbike.....

    Fitted new battery and replaced all the blown bulbs on Friday kicked er over and checked charging voltage with engine running. 15 volts, 15.5 16v shit look up all my new bulbs blowing one after other... Better find the voltage regulator, found the white crusty piece of shit under fairing. Thats on way now so thought I might try turn the 3 piece front fairing back in to one piece while I wait. Glued all broken bits back together and reinforced them then smooged bog all over back of it in an effort to bulk the thickness up a bit so it doesn't break again. Will throw paint at it once I sand all the other bits back.

    Both me and my dad bought from them exclusively for decades, you had some good parts there and there is still stock at same site.

    New battery arrived today...... ffs totally wrong and took ages to work it's way through the Auckland mail centre, got correct one on way at 3x the price cos I can't be fucked trying to get a deal just want to go pest about asap!
  17. Muncie
    Cost more than I was expecting and got pinged for an entry certificate so left to think if I could be bothered, they called later in afternoon to say they had found the chassis number in system so just had to pay up and collect plate. $128 bucks later...
  18. Muncie
    Did that thing scooter owners do today... Now to ride it everywhere!
  19. Muncie
    Since been cleaned out was also full of water too and is now happily ring a dinging at its best again. New battery ordered today so will get that in and see if the lights survived apparently if your battery is toast all your lights blow so will sort those too.

    Have had this since the weekend it had a whole lot wrong so I let the minions at it and with nothing to lose thinking it may be on its way to the tip, but with some verbal guidance once we got fuel in it (which required a big hammer and a crowbar) it fired up and ran fairly well. It ran well for all of the long weekend allowing the kids to nang around for hours so it's getting rego and going into the fleet. It did block the fuel filter and the carb on Monday night so sat dead for a few days.

    Ordered bits to convert clutch to hydraulic from cable fitted a battery wired up hand controls so it's a case of hop on push button ride. I'm going to re do back axle mount and make it proper beefy as currently it works but interferes with chain path. Will add a second shock too so it can handle my weight going over bumps. Meanwhile I've got a 2 stroke distraction in garage im having a ball with.

    Alright chaps I'm going to upgrade this year I want to sell everything I have now and go to a new multi process welder. Eg mig tig arc all in one. Are they a bit of a does a everything but nothing well situation or heavy but mint deal? Ideally I want ac/dc so I can tig alloy I'm not an expert but can competently weld anything with good tools and a bit of practice. Want to raise my options and get some quality work done and my old stuff has done well but I'm sick of 2 heavy ass machines. Any ideas on who might sell a decent machine?

    Clear your Saturday print off your ground locations and spend the day going through the car did this on my mk4 vw golf miracles were had extra features unlocked with this one painful but rewarding task. Seriously get some sand paper and jointing compound and just go through it you'll at least be able to tick off bad earths as a fault.
