Great cars . I had one . 302W auto.  I put a floor shifter from a Sierra in it . The bucket seats were like Lazy Boys!! I often look on car jam to see if it's still alive somewhere......yes miss it heaps FY2178 . They are definitely the best model .

I read the other day  Lamborgini used the lights for the Diablo 

https://www.windpowerengineering.com/two-reasons-why-gearboxes-leak/ l found this , you've probably already looked at it. The other thing l thought was that a good seal should have a spring 

Dash looks great,  and will have plenty of options l presume ......whats it cost ..   yes I'm sitting down

Stupid question time.....are those electric fans sucky or blowing . Also does one go all the time . Doesn't the early 1UZ use a hydraulic driven one that runs all the time . The problem must  be simple just not clear as mud

The front water bipass joint , could be blocked or gasket not right .

Worked out editing,  as you can see , I've had to use red and blue plastics . I'm  thinking I might paint the whole thing black ...  

Quad 2 is ready to ride all be it with no front brakes. Drum brakes are so shit they o set up on these things . Now I have learn how to drive my new phone to use pics !!!

All go on the spa .....nothing till today on the quad. Bought a new gel battery on trademe .....gotta love Afterpay!! . Have been rather too busy to tinker on the quads . But the spa is great ! Next job on quad two is to get the brakes finished , l managed to remove the too tight hub nuts on Quad 3 , thanks to a new impact driver . Advice to budding quad wreckers/ builders ....buy an impact tool . 

Well still waiting for the rebuild kit. Had a go today at starting the bugger , only to find the sparkplug was no go ! Robbed the one from Quad 1 to try .....fired first turn ....blood thing , my dad always said you only need fuel and spark boy and you're away . I hope he's not looking down at me laughing . So quad 3 had a good plug so put that in and yay . Tomorrow if she runs good I'll start putting the plastics on .Still need to fix a rear puncture and find some decent tyres  for the other wheels . 

While waiting for the carb rebuild kit to come . I thought I'll strip the carb down . Wouldn't you know it , the adjustable mixture screw was seized ....It wouldn't budge , so I had no choice but to drill it out !! Luckily there is a spring , so when I drilled down to the spring I could extract the offending pieces . l had s spare from and  earlier put the carb back together . Reinstalled and had a go at starting ....away it went haha . Still along way to go but great outcome .

I think the quad can only tow 250kg...on the flat. The track is pretty bloody steep. Lengths of the decking we have is about 5 or 6m.

If done right with a helicopter or can be very cheap and easy. Another local over the big hill from us paid a pilot $500 cash for about 10min airtime pick up and drop off. Pilot was on his way home from another job. It saved him weeks of carting stuff.  Everyone won. 

Plus helicopters!!!! I mean like.. Just wow. 

My old 250 Suzy quad tows a trailer loaded with sand , they definitely can tow , stopping is a little difficult though . 

Quad 2 has got starting /flooding issues ....so much so that fuel leaks out the exhaust !! . So I've ordered a carb rebuild kit off Ali express to try out . In the meantime the spa pool went great until I noticed the manifold for the jets started leaking ....so  I'll get a new one and install a timer so it's not running in the middle of the night , then will able to have some luxury soon. 

Well removed the muffler from Quad 3 .  .perfect condition . Topped up the flat battery with some acid and charged it up . Surprise its got 12 volts ! So started quad 2  up and went for a quick run ..  Fantastic, just have to get the front brake working better . Then I'll get plastics from 2 ,  3 and 4 fixed up might paint them matt black . . All and all a productive day . on the spa front I replaced the o rings and yay no leaks . Just have to fix the cover up. 

Well I had a plan of stripping down quad 3 and 4  , but first job was installing a pump on my other new project   a spa pool. Note to self when doing a spa pool . Replace o rings !!! Pump is great , controller works , but unions leak . Then I put my back out and so quad work is out . Oh well next weekend I'll have o rings and new filter for the spa to do , and might get started on Quad 3 

Yuck sounds like a typical Suzuki balls up design

The starter on mine is just a cog on the end of the motor . Have you removed the starter to check 

Picked up two more quads , one rusted beyond help the other has electrical and age problems . The plan is to use parts for Quad 1 and 2 where needed , and maybe build Quad 3 to sell . Pics to follow 

Time for a list

Overhaul brakes( half done)

Repair or replace plastics . (originals are on Quad 1, have starting repairs but might us parts from quad 3 or 4)

Repair or replace side cover( repaired)

Get Battery( have one from 3 to try out)

Front and rear carrier ( repaired and fitted)

Headlights ( done one hopefully fix spare)

Seat ( got a better condition one from 3)

Oil and filter change 

Ride it further than drive way 

Reg it 

Oh well not only do I need to get cylinders and shoes I have to get the correct kit of springs etc.......great!

When I found this thing had no brakes I didn't think it had "NO BRAKES" literally

Well bleeding the brakes turned into a mild  disaster . Bleed valve broke on right hand cylinder . Left hand cylinder is all seized . Plus brake line was blocked. So will spoil Quad 2 with some new cylinders and start again. Have tried out the cheap Ali express fuel pump and she starts once there's fuel in the carb . Just need to splash out on a muffler to keep "everyone" happy

ATVs with very little road use like farms and the beach etc are cheap to register .  yeah tyres aren't the best for the road . 

For the beach technically yes rego is required . $30 gets you a plate and label . Then its $20 a year . a little road use is OK like getting to the beach or the shop/bottle store!
