    If you're driving down Bealey Ave / Papanui Road in Christchurch today my apologies for the huge trail of oil... The diff decided some parts were better off outside of it's casing. Not really sure what/why happened yet. It's strange though because it made a loud clunk (I assumed it was just Chch's roads) and continued driving fine but then I noticed the oil pressure light come on so stopped. Will have to take the motor out and split the block and gearbox. Luckily I have a spare gearbox but it's a pain

    What he ^ said. Happened to me at the super market once. Had to use a screw driver to short it and start it.

    Been dailying this everyday and it runs perfect. Doesn't get hot even at at 110km/h for a decent amount of time or just idling through traffic. The WOF ran out a couple of weeks ago so went to get a new one - straight through no worries. Inspector told me that I should start thinking about sorting the sill rust out sometime soon. I think Bornloser has some spares for me that K-trips sent down, must go get them at some point. Anyway yesterday as I pulled up the drive put my foot on the brake it went to the floor followed by the sound of liquid squirting out. Luckily the handbrake works well (on wet cul-de-sacs too ) The Repco brake light pressure sender that I bought 6 months ago for the last WOF had burst! IMG_9152 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr Went there today and got my money back but not impressed, a warning to those buying from Repco.. If that had happened at speed it wouldn't have been good. IMG_9154 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr All fixed now though. Nice new British made one from Butler Automart. IMG_9165 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr Changed the oil and filter tonight since it was due after the engine rebuild. Old oil looked clean so that's good! Discuss

    Most information about a person is a good one. Old bills etc behind glove boxes

    Finished the build and install of my original engine on Sunday. Took it for a decent drive today and it was perfect, just like a new car. Few pictures of the saga: This was stuck in one of the water galleries of my og engine! Surprised it stayed as cool as it did IMG_1668 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr And this is the sump plug of the smokey engine I'd been using for the past few months. Bits of 2nd gear I think IMG_2463 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr So the whole point of this rebuild was to fix this: (Watch the whole thing)Here's a timelapse of the final stages of the rebuild and install: And to finish here's a photo of it during the drive today. Excuse the jacked up height, made it easier to work on/get jacks under Untitled_Panorama1 by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr

    Haha cheers. Bit older now and couldn't do it without Dad's help! I can't remember what it's called will check in the morning, it's just a Repco special

    Um different for each shot. Between 2 seconds for quick things like the final torquing of bolts and 10 seconds longer like piston assembly. Wasn't quite this detailed:

    Started the (re)rebuild of the original engine this weekend. Experimenting with Time-lapse photography so made a quick wee video of the start of it. Hoping next weekend to pull the other engine and swap all the bits over to the new one (starter motor etc) Discuss

    Came across this, reminded me of yours

    So this is happening at the moment.. Sourcing some replacement telescopic forks, have some DJ bike bars, got the steel to make up a hard tail rear end and have measured up the seat to chop it in half to make a new slimmer one in white. And eventually a wee expansion chamber. Going to end up a nice metallic brown with black engine etc and white wheels. That's the plan anyway. Comments/opinions welcome!

    I got your private message the first time dude, give me a chance to write something. Have a good read of how the suspension works then go from there. The ride quality is crap when low and no you don't need a cert.
