Find some coilovers that aren't buggered - or get yours reccod?  Car is arguably worth more to future purchasers certed with 'judz'

If its a cheap easy process to un cert it Ill just buy some oem springs and bilstein shocks and then at least I can put the 17" evo 7 wheels on it. As it is I will have to put the 16s back on it each wof or get it re certified 

My vr4 is certed for coilovers, how much of a hassle/cost is it to uncert it if I put normal suspension back in?

Yea towbars and light trailers dont actually have any real regulations, kinda scary but no one has died so not much of a worry

That looks perfectly fine

Does anyone on here do exhaust fabrication or can recommend someone? Need a complete exhaust made for my vr4 legnum and one for my landy when I fit the turbo. Don't mind travelling if they are good but preferably east/south Auckland. 

Sold a couple of land rover discovery rolling bodies and the guy from tokoroa turns up in this sweet AU ute on lpg

I smoked mother duck and quite a few of her ducklings in my old mk3 golf. I was behind someone when the came to a stop quickly so I just went around them and cleaned up the ducks just as they were walking past the other car, then the dweeb starts following me going crazy flashing their lights

I am wondering if I just suck it up and shell out for the Proxes R1Rs

They are only $512. I just ordered tyres for a shitty old mitsi and they are $595ea. Don't skimp on tyres when you have spent when you have spent good money on the rest of it

These go good

L300s had the same trans as well so if you find a fucked Toyota one you can just swap bellhousings

If Toyota made that engine family with the auto than yes. Its a fully hydraulic trans so is easy to swap

Do the auto gearboxes like the A43D and A44DL have the same ability ?

Yes as they are the same family of trans. You cant swap between the Axx series and A3xx

We've got a student making us a full sheet cnc plasma this year based around a regular boc handset and running Linux CNC so I might have to be in touch... 

I can have a look in the back room at work for an old hypertherm plasma and a machine torch if it will make it easier 

Another thing to watch out for is fuel tank size, the hornet I had only held 16l, seemed like I was at the fuel station daily which got annoying pretty quickly

You guys love doing things over and over huh, the fix is a $40 can of clear. Anything else is garbage and you will be doing it again. Nothing can hold out to UV and heat for this application like 2k urethane clear. Get a couple cans and a practice headlight if you are worried.

With a wipe of the paint protection I used they stayed looking mint for ages. The key is to properly polish them back, just using autosol ain't going to cut it

Keep in mind the width of the bike, too wide and you won't be able to lane split at 100k

It's easy to sand and polish them

i dont think i have ever heard a bad thing about them

 

other than not being a big bike

Cam chains can wear out and the guides and chains are expensive

THis is cheap and will do 120kph, good commuters https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/dual-purpose/honda/listing/2961826256?bof=Om7V8usR

 

 

I had a spada, went hard for what it was even with me on it. 

Ive been looking at getting another suzuki bandit 1200 for my commute, they cruise nicely and are pretty comfortable, cheap enough too

Edit
