Hey @cletus, I'm putting a hayabusa front end (wheel brakes shocks triple clamp) onto a Honda as the o.g parts where pretty crap when they where new so modern shocks are far nicer

does that fall under 2a or 2b certified? (Looks like a guy in levin is able to do both)

only needed a diff size bearing to fit, is there specs for min turn arc etc? As they are set back further than original so bottoms out on fuel tank (will weld in a new stopper as I assume it will need that?)

Def going to the movies to watch it, also the mclaren movie/doco is out soon and rated g so taking 7yr old, he got the bruce wants to go faster book for xmas 

Ah good intentions.....lol

any pics with the 350z wheels? They seems to look better on everything but a 350zs huge arches

do they say why the atlas one has such hi 160psi pressure?

make sure you use a reg on it so you dont start blowing air tools etc, and as others have said use a reg away from the tank one to allow the steam to cool into droplets of water that actually get caught in the watertrap 

We have plenty of ups battery's at work if you want one as a temporary fix? I can measure the size tomorrow if I remember

Ooh I like the key location might have to steal that idea should simplify all the wiring being in the one place, is it a aftermarket key barrel?

my Honda has a stupidly long key barrel to get past all the plastics that are no longer there

We bought 2 offset vices from sca for my old work maybe 8-9 yrs ago, last time I was there they where still in use 

rather handy for if you have something long

seems they don't sell them anymore but looked like these (but being generic Chinese quality could a gamble)

Are you "keeping" the red brick wall or covering? I've always foamed over them as feature walls/ would love a industrial Esk apartment with red brick and black painted steel frame windows

Steve murch Motorsport is the nz holset turbo guru

hes in Auckland, would be able to sort you out with the the right turbo and I'm sure could recommend someone for install and tune etc

2014 hilux 4wd ute,  77000kms work owned, worker driven like its stolen/@40 km/h on site alot

zero issues failures breakages, tho it's 3rs old in August so will see if it falls apart

on 3 set of tyres because of gravel road (which is doing exceptionally well for me-traction and stability control prevent me from doing silly things)

been through a few brake pads rotor skims but that's also standard for where we work would be much better if I bothered stoping at site entrance and engaging 4 low but 4 hi on the fly is lush

Mate bought a late nineties 728? 6cyl one, with a mechanical warranty, said he'd never own one without a warranty pretty much had everything other than the motor itself rebuilt/replaced on the warranty, although now the vanos thing is starting to crap out, I think the trans is also untouched other than servicing?

Victory burnout vid plz

Yeah get a merc diesel and a Scania truck turbo few other minor bits good for 500hp

Where Would I buy headstock bearings locally for a fork conversion (Suzuki forks into honda frame) found the sizes online but the guy at mana bearings wasn't able to find one 

found some in the states but I want them now/probably still faster to get those

Audi? Or ?
