The above Multipla is blardy lush to drive. When you're in it you don't worry about what it looks like on the outside.

Like Al's Mum.

 

Edit: TOTP FffFuuuuuu

Yep they are actually pretty good cars, just fugly, mind you all people movers are fugly. They can be picked up pretty cheap as well

Get a fiat multipla

i would also recommend the odyssey. they dont whistle like estima/previas do 

Dont the odyssey have a quite weak trans?

Its more weight than height, i put my 130kg fat arse on a small bike and the suspension and acceleration take a dive

Can someone confirm/deny something in my memory from years back says these little motors had a slight taper?

Yep slight taper

Will be around 20mm

Blackness

Primer on, couple of bits to sand back, not being too fussy though as it is a dirt bike after all

Its a GMS 2000, 0.4 cu in. You're right with the ABC setup but it's so tight that I can't turn it over by hand ie. The piston moves freely for the bottom 80% of the stroke??

How big is the flywheel, I have a CMB .21 that feels like that just because the flywheel is hard to get a grip on

Most glow engines are ABC, aluminium piston, brass liner with a chrome bore. Usually when they are brand new they can be very tight. What brand and size is it?

Got the baking soda from trademe, $13 for 10kg, I only used a few kg worth. 

I had degreased it and water blasted it first and then used the soda blasting

Productive afternoon, soda blasted the xr600 engine with a $30 bunnings sandblasting gun and a few kg worth of sodium bicarbonate aka baking soda, made a pretty decent mess but the results were good for the amount of $$ spent, just leaving the paint stripper to work on the side covers then mask it up and paint it in vht flame proof paint tomorrow.

I ran one of these, easy enough to setup

Usually we charge for a new plate if it's not my mistake- ie if a different certifier did it. 

Whats the cost of a new plate?

A mate is looking at a van the has been certed but on the plate its engine has been incorrectly stamped as a 4cyl not a 5cyl, would it cost anything to get that corrected?

@cletus

What size tyres do you have on there?

There was a guy in Tauranga that put a 6bd1t  in an 80 series, think I read about it on 4btswaps

Try PPS Industries. I use to buy all my grinding discs from them 

Is it getting upto the correct temp? Some barry hasnt removed/gutted the thermostat?

Looks nice, the first porsche I went in was a 944 turbo

And if you do find yourself getting stuck dont keep spinning until its beached as

Everyone I have called has quoted over $1k +gst to do it which to me is way too much. So now that ive been at my new job a bit longer now I hit the boss up to do it at work and he said go for it. 

What pressure were you running when on the sand? Worn out at's at low pressure (around 15psi) work well on sand,
