  1. definitely keen for another fandango. perhaps wanaka or somewhere equally as sweet? i will be down your neck of the woods for the burt later this month, will pop in for a cuppa
  2. well this was quite the non-event... i moved islands, no way was taking this with me ever going to be feasible. ended up selling to some gavin who had plans of a hektik track car... it popped up on the tard $1 reserve one week later. however i stumbled into Repco Queenstown for my usual order of blue checker plate floormats and bargain bin spanner sets, when i spotted this thing outside. the owner of the car was behind the counter, a British lad, and saw me cheesin, engaged in a sharn, and said if you want it make an offer as my visa is up in december. so as the stars aligned, i purchased another one! this one is suuper lush compared to the last - manwell 8 valver with 66 kw of pure self esteem, two extra headlights, knock off bbs' and still too many doors. last owner was a foamer for golfs back in the uk, has recently put in a new clutch, timing belt, and while he was there inspected and replaced head gasket. so it is a minta! look forward to putting it through its paces. has a few bits and pieces i would like to tidy up, namely the door trims and replace the grill with a not cable tied/gti number. and some bosch incisions to the ride height. enjoy
  3. dont buy an aliexpress carb to replace - they are completely different to the original. sprak learnt the hard way and dropped $32. i think there are still some rebuild kits floating about, or perhaps flog a carb off a wrecked one
  4. have shot home for a couple of days and took this thing out for a burn. it takes a decent minute of riding to warm up, but man it makes all the right noises once the temp gets up. much pine. however it would intermittently cut out on me for some reason - i would turn down a street, changing down gears the engine wouldnt decelerate, and would completely cut out when i was back on the throttle exiting the turn. pull over, slap into neutral and she would fire straight up again. totally thought i had seized it at first! i gave it prolly 1l of petrol. not much but enough to get a good sloshing noise in the tank, plenty of 2t, any ideas why it might be cutting out? it will idle fine. most of the time it would run through the gears fine at 3/4/full throttle, until you decel and it would keep up in the revs and then cut out. i have also discovered a gnarly exhaust leak, i think the thread inside one of the snapped off exhaust bolts must be starting to fail, could the leak cause it to cut out? tl;dr it sometimes dies can the internet fix it
  5. awesome man props! they are pretty solid engines, will be nothing but good times with a manny box behind it. now hassle sparkle for a set of his e21 bbs 14's and give those springs a haircut!
  6. looks as bent as a half open pocket knife jim love it, you will enjoy the 2 speed life
  7. that is the raddest thing ive seen in my entire life. separate build thread detailing EVERYTHING ASAP. being a simpler man id love to relive my childhood and slap a JR80 into something, a50's seem to be the perfect bike. but water cooled RM80 power band stz would be amazing. how did the motor mount up ? but yeah, more info plz
  8. nice COON GOON severly lacking a slab of Lion Brown/NZ Lager sitting on the boot parked up at the Gore Memorial Park. remedy this asap

  11. We'll see if thats the case when i advance him showing interest in his Austin Princess...
  12. should be a fair few snags in saucy bread to accompany all the mustangs and bel airs by the sounds of things. do it!
  13. ahhh tortron is on to something. i can use quickmap/landonline/rpnz data at work tomorrow and get a name and potentially a number, assuming he owns the property. pm to discuss man
  14. $100 could pursuade me to drive to ranfurly... not that id need pursuading to visit central. If mr guntfuttock is of no help pm me.
  15. Nice wee car show out on the lake in Frankton next satdee. Be a good excuse for some southern jokers to come over to Queenies.

Anyone else ken ? Lookin at you Mr.808, ky and the team
  16. the baron streets of the ding are our paddock mayte
  17. So after taking it for a burn, gave it a quick bleed and have made an improvement. Not perfect, but not hitting my knuckles so it will suffice until i overhaul with pads and a new line. Cable tied overnight also. Thanks tean
  18. took it for a solid 5 minutes with the brake in, pulled over and pumped a few times and felt good. as soon as i would ride off and hit brakes again they were back to being pooze. time for a new seal?
  19. how long should a motorcycle front brake take to bleed? been at it for hours, gone through prolly 3 cylinders worth of fluid with no improvement in pressure. clean, air free fluid coming out the bleeder each time. spent a good hour last night, then another 30 odd mins this morning with no improvement. doing the old hows ya father hold lever in, crack bleeder, lever goes all the way to throttle, tighten bleeder and release the brakes. making no difference after hours of bleeding. is there a better technique to it? i feel like there's an air leak somewhere in the brakes, but cant identify anything unusual. your 2 cents please
  20. nice! was very close to buying this myself. what wheels/tyres you going for? and cut springs asap plz
  21. bent as a half open pocket knife jim. ill be the first to suggest... tickle up TF125 and put in the AX and run scrambler pipe for the maddest stz
