Might come look at this new High Undie. Seems to be what all the cool kids are avoiding doing.

Nats Update: Drove Car. Rolled Guards Met GCs Did a skids Did a skids again and runded over a cone Went to the Warehouse Trained. Parked. Good trip. Would trade again. A+

Seal your tracks?

Guards Rolled Stage 1.

Space might be needed, and we'll be stopping once an hour or so I'd guess. #needpies

Fizzing at his bung. Can't get bung out. Diff problems. Too many skids?

Nats Prep: Oil changed. The Warehouse currently has a special on for 4 litres of 20w50 for $15.00 each. Not fancy oil - just Caltex Havoline. Soon as I brought this I inherited many half used oils from @Mr Burns so effectively a free oil change apart from filter. Warehouse oil will be used next time. Seam sealed the rear leaking window rubber, replaced a 6x9 I blew due to not porting the boot, ported the boot with an ali trumpet, and applied some bling. @Threeonthetree sent me a Facepalm marketplace link for some wheels. 1960's Buick Riviera / Skylark etc in 5x5". They need to be restored at some point, but they had pretty much brand new tyres and some gangsta appeal. Cruised over the the shore and picked them up. Bargain at $300. Filled car up - we ready to go. Car now looks more suitably oldschool: Bigger profile, bigger width. Cruises at 100 much nicer now. Subtle lowering (Makita 'bro) after Nats. Chur.

A: Hamilton - Tokoroa - Turangi - Taihape - Palmie (well - Feilding/Woodville by-pass unless needed) - Matserton - Featherston is fastest. 7 Hours 41 mins B: Hamilton - Tokoroa - Taupo - Napier - Hastings - Woodville - Masterton - Featherston 8 hours 8 mins more of the scenics. Or combo between. 5 Mins diff going the other side through instead of the 'Tron. SH1 however should be ok on a Thursday and more chance for people to join the gang? My 7 cents.

In.

Keen. Gives me a deadline to make cars go.

Lewl at @Threeonthetree leaning across the windscreen shielding his 2015 WOF'd Trumpet from the fuzz.

This should last half a run - just hot glued on the wheels to see how far I need to cut the springs. A-Series for the win?

It's a long day on the road, Id suggest 9am at the latest in case of breakdowns/beers/sharns/purchases. In my car shall be me and bigfoot. I'm not apposed to starting earlier myself meaning more time for activities on the way

Pretty sure he said "Should go hard for what it is...."

Yep - that's how we did it - but a screwdriver as I had no straw..... If memory serves me correct we lined this all up, but then to start the thing I have to advance the dizzy like 30 degrees. It then only runs on three cylinders suggesting the timing for the injector pump is well out as it is getting spark. @Threeonthetree memory is possibly better than mine?

Went back last night. Something is not right.... New theory - anyone had this kinda thing below happen? (Interweb pic - not mine) or has the key just fallen out / shattered? Discuss!

Pulled some stuffs off on the weekend to have a wee look at timing and other such things. Something wasn't quite right when checking the timing of the fuel metering unit (to manual specifications) so pulled the dizzy out and found things to be off from where should be Fudged stuff about for a long period of time and made the dizzy dog line up to 12 o'clock and the metering unit injector # 6 position to be within the satisfactory limit, and the dizzy rotor to be at number 1 lead for timing at TDC compression stroke. Then flushed through injectors again, all worked (some a bit temperamental but ok with a good smack) Then managed to started car. It did kinda start with a bit of ether up it, but not running properly. Rotated the dizzy and got it to stay running. Feels like the timing marks on the pulley are wrong..? Didn't have a timing light to check any further into that. Got it running on 4-5 of a possible 6. Still, progress I think. Tonight I'll try to put a timing light on it, replace a couple of injectors with more reliable spares and see what happens then. You, too can tell me how the TC is much more reliable, like everyone at the European British car show, by clicking here.

Red ones go faster. Goes without saying really.

Yep, although also noticed from research that Haynes incorrectly published the wrong picture.... Wont be making that mistake when I do that next

@BLIZZO Did your thing last night - got all injectors doing the spray thing. Had to blow a couple out on the compressor @ 70psi . Some how managed to smash a dizzy rotor into 4 bits. Also noticed there was another broken one in the boot. Not sure if it's cause the cap wasn't aligned properly or would this be a sign of a dodgy dizzy? Still no brum brum. @locost_bryan IS the Lucas stuff Chinese now you reckon?I have a spare dizzy cap at home to narrow that down and can flog the rotor off the Humber to see if that works. Both of which are newish from http://www.classiccarparts.co.nz/ - not sure where their Lucas stuff comes from?!

sorry if links keep expiring.

Go find that long lost inlet valve for your 1907 Mazda RX-15.

Pretty much what I had in mind, soon as I can find the sparks. I think we found them on the weekend but by that time I'd flooded her, so will pop in (maybe tonight) and see if she'll fire Not sure that the stater motor will last five minutes though - #lucasprinceofdarkness
