there was a trap for event organiser's as to how the road was closed. one method gave TOTAL control to the named COC/Safety Officer etc, the other created headaches as to legalities legalities and control , if a challenge was enacted

de-reged 'club' cars can compete on closed road events, but may not be driven past the 'Road=Closed' signs. a rally car, competing in a proper rally event needs to be REG/WOF for the entirety of the event due to the 'touring' stages which are normal legal open roads, as opposed to the 'special' stage, which is closed to the public and under the control of the COC/Event director. 'authority card' is a dispensation allowing certain modifcation 'logbook' is a record of events entered

Class EB would throw a spanner in the mindset of the charming ignorant fool at Whaka Kartire. as far as i have been told, there are new requirements coming, to close some of the existing loopholes regarding TSLs/logbooks etc............ they created a can of worms when they down-rated vehicles , and allowed heavier weights for Class 1 drivers

or is it due to utlising the rock-chucker (grass-blade ) as a counter weight?

what was GLW of Trader ? there is said to be a raft of new rules coming in soon regarding TSL/PSL etc that could undo a heap of small operators

gasket paper and shellac

climb on the 3TC forum or FB page plenty good info on these engines. have not had to change ignition on mine as vehicle not used very often these days

once upon a time, trucks/buses/motorhomes could be 'down-rated' to meet the 6T threshold, but i believe this has been removed about same time they removed 'supplementary RUCs, for vehicles operating well under the GLW/GCW

always had fun with them at the wreckers. offsider used to sacrifice the block, as it was the head that was the spendy part

not an alloy block Honda motor , is it ?

so you want a cheap valve amp ?? may know of a couple of Holdens and Jansens, and you should have asked a week ago, as currently in kaikoura !

4k and k50 ?

maybe, when he bustled into dealership demanding a free replacement, the dealership rightfully added "wanker-tax" , and that was what the court managed to remove from the fee ?

any thing built after 2005 can stay outside my ownership, unless i could afford to buy new, and on-sell with balance of warranty

i we know the make/model, someone maybe able to tell you were to find the stamping. have an old '56 Holden ute here with plates and possible original engine, but due to having no tags/chassis number, was told i needed to do a 'paper file search' to make sure i have 2 correctidentifiers

my understanding is all registered vehicles still have the paper file, but does costs a pretty penny for the search. they must have updated some of it, as our Sunbeam Sport was listed as 'plate never issued' on carjam, as was re-vinned, but de-regoed a very long time ago.......... it now comes up as a un/de-registered Sunbeam Sport

glued in requires sharp knife and either fishing braid/guitar string on handles to 'saw' the rest of urethane. some thin wedges also help. prick of a job, with limited success

you can't stretch the budget to the 16CFM unit ? 12cfm will run tools / guns etc, but at a pinch, and will need good water traps to remove condensate

they do have 'desirable dairy farm runabout' tax , though. they have wrecked nearly all the vitaras

i did wonder if he was one of us.

hey team, due being fecked over with a shitty insurance deal, i may need an inspection done on a vehicle in Nelson region. anyone close enough and capable, without going to far out of way ? anyone familiar with nelsoncars on trademe ? fanx

yes, so if you have a 'soft' shock, then find approriate spring to set height, and either get the originals rebuilt/replaced. unless going stupid low between warrants, would waste my time with coil-overs unless there are other items needing cert

ride height set by the spring

only 1/2 to 3/4 hour difference, and saves smoking out SH1 with madza and mishitbus oil fumes !!

scenic route from Giggle ? or up SH1. Tom and I central Catlins for 2 weeks
