    I hardly see any down here. I look forward to seeing another one on here! They're very underrated cars imo, haven't got the cult following of the mini but have the same drivetrain, doesn't make sense

    Pretty good now! Haven't driven it much unfortunately. Fixed the cylinder head and put new valve stem oil seals in. In the process of putting a new Lucas sport coil and new distributor cap/parts on at the moment. Also picking up another complete ado16 for spares tomorrow (3rd one owned and I'm not even 18 yet, what's wrong with me? ) I'll do a proper write up on my build thread tomorrow night

    Yamaha has a few parts available still
  4. GuyWithAviators
    Sounds good man. When are you guys going riding again?
  5. GuyWithAviators
    Took it for a nice long run and took photos in front of some water Need to do something about that front guard.. Parked next to a mates modern scooter, I love it how mines about 15km faster than his

    I thought you'd like that Was bored in tech class at school the other day so asked the teacher if I could bring it into the workshop to look at/work on, being the gc he is he said yes so i rode it through the corridors into class and may or may not have lost traction on the Lino floors..... Ended up just removing the baffle from the exhaust, sounds better now seems to go quicker or is that just me? Does removing it damage anything? I've decided I want to strip the bike completely and paint it, something glossy/shiny. Any ideas or suggestions? I also want to make a half seat for it and move the rear shock mounts up

    Bought this cheap from TM for a cheap run about/daily. Bought plates for it off Fliboi, so if they look familiar that's why Wasn't going when I got it but after cleaning this crap out of the exhaust: Mmmmm two strokey goodness. And cleaning the carb it just ran, no worries Someone had decided that mph were faster so put this sticker on the speedo, good for me coz the dial underneath was still as new After it sat in the garage for a few days noticed a puddle of petrol under it Surprisingly Yamaha had a replacement fuel tap seal, so that's all fixed now Have had it to just over 65km/h on flat Looking to the infamous QCR for inspiration along the way too

    I've been looking at ordering some stuff for my 1300 from: http://www.minispares.com/ Not sure if anyone else has used them but they seem to have every part!
  9. GuyWithAviators
    No.

    I'm unsure how i feel about this. Its so wrong, yet so right
  11. GuyWithAviators
    I'm not a fan of it, the transmission is already silver and doesn't need painting but the block and head are black/scummy. I'll be getting an alloy rocker cover at some point too. so something that compliments the shinyness. but not as boring as black
  12. GuyWithAviators
    like this?
  13. GuyWithAviators
    Got around to dismantling the engine, Head, flywheel etc. Gearbox, doesn't look too bad in there Block and a piston, needs a good clean and paint. Colour ideas? Notice the condition of oil/compression rings Piston cleaned up. And finally, this is one of the bearings. Hmm haha. I'm surprised it ran as well as it did Have new bearings, rings, gaskets, timing chain and clutch plate on their way. Started painting the engine bay too Discuss: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/35012-guywithaviators-1974-austin-1300/

    Sick of putting oil in this every time I drove it so decided I better replace the oil rings and do the clutch while I'm at it. This will also be a good chance to clean up and paint the engine and bay. Any suggestions on engine colour? Something period correct This picture shows my new mirror and how the ride height should look (front) compared to how I have it (back). It raised up because the engine is out The question for this is: How do I mount the seat and handlebars?
  15. GuyWithAviators
    I'm sure you must have the only two 1300 GTs in north Canterbury haha. Mine only gets hot when going up hills etc. Getting an aluminum radiator soon so that should fix it. Have you got a block in the cooling system or something?
  16. GuyWithAviators
    Thanks mate. I've already asked ya on trademe about a boot lid. Once I've done some other more important things I'll most likely buy it off you
  17. GuyWithAviators
    Looks really good! What's the rust like? Check in the foot wells inside
  18. GuyWithAviators
    Not very. Pretty disappointing to be honest

  20. GuyWithAviators
    No worries mate. See you there
  21. GuyWithAviators
    I will be of attendance. Will someone have stickers, Mr. Felixx?
  22. GuyWithAviators
    Sweet as, cheers for that. I need 12" just to be awkward
  23. GuyWithAviators
    Hey man, where/how did you get your white walls done?
  24. GuyWithAviators
    Copper tubing and sweet brass rivets holding plates on?
  25. GuyWithAviators
    I just think you'd be jealous that I'd have a whole 177cc's more engine than you
