What's the good oil on getting dns hijacking off a win7 machine? Have tried flushing ipcache, kapersky / Windows Defender Offline, losing interest. About to try http://goodbye-microsoft.com/

Bring the noise

The big race prize day is Sunday, for the Yetchh and Felix among us. I won't be there, but plenty of cool cars will.

...

Noice. I'll be there, with something to cook foods on. Might have to cut the legs off a BBQ to get it in the Dai...

Weedeater for tall bike propulsion? I can supply...

Hmmm, kids in the Dai would have been hilarious, should'a terrorised the camp with 4 year old drivers...

Was a great weekend, weather couldn't have been more perfect. Sharing food, ogling the yoga-mum and her seth-efrican mate, unplugged, shit yarns. I even read a paper book! The food was a highlight, actually, show's you don't have to rough it, camping. Thanks for the organise Glen, keen for the next. I reckon the kids settle better for the second day, they were all good value.

Yo.

Sure, why not. Will confirm deets. I wasn't planning on taking the Dai...

Keen. Happy with cooking either way, will get chillybins and ice. YAar

I have another lantern, small camp stove (I believe no solid fuel out of the city at the mo, though GB may be different if water available), a 2 man tent and can pick up other stuff, I'll probably bring a bigger boring car. I'm still working on my camping recipes, but tea/coffee and pancakes have got to be a win, right? Maybe every meal. With candy sprinkles.

1 edit: so far...

I'll be along. I had thought I would be assembling a POOS daily, but will need a head skimmed (recommendations, BTW?) Will be good to catch up with you bogans.

A glance at the manual suggests the drive can reverse for you. The external switches shouldn't be necessary? http://mgitech.com/support/pdl/Xtravert%20Manual.pdf

Fine with either place.

They say 226g/kWh, so 16MJ/kg, and diesel is ~48MJ/kg, so 16/48 gives ~33% total thermodynamic efficiency. At full throttle, a smaller turbodiesel gives ~39% (from memory), but them are weasel words, of course. From the interwebs: Gasoline engines are about 15%-25% efficiency. New cars are at the 25% end. Diesel engines are 30%-49% efficient. Diesel semi trucks are about 35%. Large multimegawatt diesel power plant engines are up to 49%. (See Wartsila engines). This may still be a useful engine, because it's part throttle efficiency may be better than gasoline / small turbo diesel, bu tI suspect it'd be in production if the advantages were that compelling. I'd heard Prius get a similar effect by only compressing part of the compression stroke (valve timing jiggery), but using the full expansion stroke. Easier to manufacture, (no odd sized pistons, bores, counterweights), just needs cam change.

in your hatch...

Can do 22nd

I will supply DoBro for the poor one.

I'm keen, your suggested timeline should work, I'm just not used to being organised so far in advance.

I have an uncle with a P76 in a jetboat, which is ok on 7 cylinders. He's going to change the whole setup, If'n you need the rest, I could put you in touch. It's unclear yet how bad the engine is, he's reluctant to pull it down, could go either way.

Legal is getting more important, what with those automatic number plate readers. I like the sound of a wee drive for a picnic, <~1hr ish? Anyof those funky little bays on the peninsula?

Hi Arthur. A friendly mod moved your comment over here into the discussion section. Do you have a Daihatsu 360, or something different? There's a couple of guys on here with Frontes, and at least one honda N360. I'm not sure what the displacement of the Trabant is, but his project is worth finding and reading too. Update: I see reading your post in Vlad's thread you have a Daihatsu. You can find parts for your polished engine here: http://translate.google.co.nz/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.irex-jp.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Direx%2B.jp%26safe%3Doff%26es_sm%3D119%26biw%3D1521%26bih%3D1058 I see you have made a comment in a thread about having a car / parts to move on, I suggest you put an ad in the sections here: (The posts at the top will tell you how.) //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/forum/7-cars-for-sale-wanted/ //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/forum/8-parts-for-sale-wanted/ Cheers

9 months later. There's been moving, Nats in Coromandel, but mostly just dailying the shit out of this baby. I drove it to Hamner meet, and it crated Bigfoot back shotgun like a charm. It's still a shade down on hp. On discussions with Goat, he's suggested it's the labyrinth seal between the crank spaces (the only one I couldn't replace) may be weak. This isn't a major, and may even help protect the engine from over-revving damage, but time will tell. I now have a better workshop, and may pull it down to eyeball the exhaust port shape, per above. There's a few other maintenance items creeping in. The front shock / alignment needs attention, it's steers a bit like your grand-mother's tea-trolley, but it's running well enough to be fun commuting. And, a fine chap sold me a motor, after seeing it at the McLeans Island swap meet. More spares to strip/clean/sort! I may have 2 complete spare motors now (which starts the imagination on alternative uses).
