M.H.

Will be sweet when I register the CT90 as it will get 1 year wofs even though it's a 1973 and cheap rego

Can easily roll no rego no wof no worries, I've never been pulled over whilst on a bike, usually run with a wof coz it's only $30

For context this is the wagon in question

The listing states listed on behalf contact this number but the number is "[hidden information]" so I messaged the person that listed it asking for the number a couple days ago but the message hasn't even been marked as seen yet?

That looks nice and unmolested, did you hear from them?

I make sure they are all nice and clean, take wheels off and water blast underneath, make sure everything works and he always comments how nice and easy mine are to do

Check with your local revin place as prices vary, I get mine done at the AA in napier as the guy is pretty lax and does them for $400 (normally $450) and vtnz charge $579 and are cunts

If you are going to sell it you can just do the revin and its issued its wof and then get the plates/register it when someone buys it

What's the going rate for.a revin inspection?

Ive revinned an au falcon and l300 mitsi this year

$400 for the inspection and then to get the plates had to pay $234 and that includes 6 months rego

I got hd ranchos cheap from rock auto for my ute and am very happy with them

^ Same here, water pumps tht seal with an o-ring ftw

On my ct185 that was 6v it had big plugs for the stator, cdi and reg and bullets for the rest, the later xr200 12v had the small plugs for the stator, cdi and reg and bullets for the rest

I'd be keen on the front guard, rear rim, exhaust and possibly the forks if you are going to pull it apart

Thanks man, I mean... it could have all been avoided by calling the police straight away but ahh well once you're there in that scenario you have to try.

That doesnt always work, you could get a retard like I did when I had a guy crash into me on a multi land roundabout 

Is it a discovery or defender? Manual or auto? 

Fit an egt and boost gauge and increase the fueling and boost and it will be a lot nicer to drive, the 300tdi is a great engine, good economy easy to work on and very reliable.

The injector pump can draw from the tank but you will find it down on power a bit, mine was. New lift pump is cheap as and easy to fit

I am running the wiring like this on my ct185 but with no battery, indicators work at idle

Is water circulating in the system correctly?

Popped a egt probe in the manifold for the l300 (4d56t) while it was off, I was going to leave it standard but 86hp is a tad punishing in an auto 4wd van. Have some 2.5" exhaust piping and bends left over so will make a new exhaust too as its super simple on the vans. Getting an intercooler on it is going to be a bit more tricky though but im thinking of mounting a water to air behind the drivers seat

Never gotten a speeding ticket

Wonder why

They probably think there has been a malfunction when it snaps a mm so they just cancel it

Does anyone have any experience with matte finishes? Matte 2k vs matte clear over base coat?

Weighed myself with all my gear on, think I need to find some light weight gear, mine must be very heavy

I had  speed camera pics of me doing 62 past it and 67 10min later going the other

I use bits like these

Yeh, I guess if you're handy with steel work then it'd just be time spent - would hope like hell its been on a chassis straightener to check its all true.

Either way, whoever that may buy it would hopefully do some checks over it before purchasing. 

Before the days of FB and forums spreading pictures & gossip stories around I'm sure there's been plenty of repairs on 'mint' rx2's 3's etc from various accidents

Still see lots of higher end/performance cars that have been stacked and insurance hasnt covered it so its been repaired and most of the time badly

Are people un-modifying FDs and taking them back to stock yet... a factory fresh one seems to be a rare find. 

When I was looking to buy one a few years ago I couldnt find a nice original one so gave up, they were certainly one of the more riced cars out there
