I noticed the crx was loosing a bit of coolant and it did wees one day. Pulled rad out and yup that'll be it I'll need to decide if I go new half Suze or get a full size one. Both will not be a direct replacement. 99% of the replacements I've found are not for the vtec motors as they have smaller hose inlets

I was planning to make a mould once I've figured out sizing etc and the bracket or however I work out attaching the sub to the box. If i plan everything right I shouldn't need to cut holes. But lf I do it'll be aliexpress diamond holesaws

that'll be version 2.0 I'll make one out of timber first and see how it goes

Now I'm broken again it's time to start more projects instead of finishing existing ones. I ordered sone parts for the new nixie clock from a nz supplier but they never turned up or answered emails after taking my money. I'd forgotten that part until I went looking for said parts. Ebay to the rescue and they are now coming from China. Spent some time with my uncle and he has just made a concrete box for his sub and we got sharning about box design etc. I remembered I had a big old soundstream in the shed. I remember it being quite loud in the car with a shitty standard box so it should work well as a sub for the lounge I looked around and found a few cheap amps but none liked the impedance of the sub. A bit more searching and I found and ordered this Amp. Just need to figure out a power supply, either aliexpress or DIY something

Hah no one wants the gn. Can't say I blame them

So good I said it twice

I failed, kicked Bart so hard I broke my foot and ate shit

Gn was strapped in on Sunday so it's ready. I was running premix today Might pop a tad 2t oil in gn so it atleast smell right I think @Raizeris probably right about the crank seals etc. Tbh I've no checked everything over properly

Fair call on the plug. Borderline fowled is rich in my books hah. It has a 110 mj in it which is pretty big. I am premixing as I wait for the oil pump to sort its shit out so It should have enough oil

Nah just because fuck you I suspect. I pulled the plug to check as it was cooling down and its a tad on the rich side so I'm out of ideas

It Started surging again on the way home then locked up and siezed again. Took ages to cool down enough to run again as I didn't fancy pushing it 20km. I got it home by powering up the hills then turning it off and coasting down

I remembered it was decent but not the brand

Thinking about it I may not have had travel due to the case clearance which shredded the belt.

Had them in initially but wasn't getting full belt travel on the variator

75cc with 7.?g rollers. Can't remember the brand of variator stock rear end with upgraded clutch springs

I took the melody into work this morning. Topped out at 80 and cruised around 75 ish at a guess. After a few minutes pinned at top it'll surge a bit. I'll fit the dio fuel pump and see if it improves

Basket sorted and packrack mounted.

Speedo cabletied on and army men affixed. Must mean Its eastcape ready. I've done about 20km so far so it must be ready. I'll take it to work tomorrow and get a rough idea of fuel usage/see what fails. I popped into kmart to try and get a front basket but had no luck. The warehouse had nothing basket wise but delivered on a horn and tassles

Black and round? I'll have to check Yes it's good to finally have it rideable. It's heaps smaller than the dios so will be interesting on the Cape run Acceleration is pretty good feels quicker than gn g ah, no idea on top speed as the speedo is sitting on the garage floor still. I'll do a GPS run and find out.

I'm going to k mart so I'll grab you some floaties

Yes plz

Cheap belt came with instructions to ride at 30 or less for 10k. Yeah that didn't happen. Went for a quick ride and it went well until I was close to the fuel station and it run out. I really need to remember to fuel up before leaving. @piazzanoobcame to loan a hand and give moral support. We decided the mortar tin was too big. The shopping trolley donated some of its basket. The basket needed some clearancing for the exhaust. Took it for a longer pest and no sadness. Tomorrow I'll take it for a longer ride and see how it goes. Even the statue is excited about it Oh and a massive thanks to @64valiant for the seat. I'm Fucking stocked with how it turned out

Swap the jog for plan b gn.

Busted out the diegrinder and fixed the belt clearance issue with the casing. Hopefully I'll get full belt travel now

Plan b gn test ride was a success. It had been sitting in this guys shed for a few years, chucked some fresh fuel Did 10km with no issues so it's ready. Man it feels so slow. Now I've actually gone out for a short ride I've got some motivation back for the melody
