Also got past a mile stone just before the haka

Going up the hill going down the hill

I hope everyone likes scurvy

I heard that a gn250 with its large tyres soft suspension and cushy seat are the perfect combo for cracked ribs And get some accom

Went to hanmer motorfest for the day. Only took a pic when I filled it with gas

Any history of a head being done? When the diesel pump starts to leak its a o ring in the top housing of the pump that's a mega cunt to change without putting plastic through the pump and wreking it

We use Jon palmer from temuka. He comes up once a month and spends a day up here. Great for older/classic cars. He'd probably love what your doing

Wash your mouth out !

I took a set of worn re003 off my e39 wagon that were fitted in 2012. They were just as grippy as the new ones

Plenty if tyres in the road older that 8 years Even better if there been stored in the dark

Sorry I couldn't stay any longer. Still got a pretty good sun burn lol

Can't remeber but it wasn't that bad. Maybe 12ish L per 100km

Sounds about right fuel economy wise. They're pretty sensitive to how you drive too. Lots of full boost time makes it suck diesel. It is a pretty old Design motor and the electric pumps are getting to an age where sensors/ecus are giving a bit of grief My kzj78 on 33s does about 14l/100k on average. With the caravan/parachute on the back it was much worse. But was also working pretty hard . Never been hot other than when the head ate shit. But otherwise it's done a lot more towing than a 1kz probably should and still does it

Stripped the rest of the motor down. Crank has been hammering a bit so will be crack testing that and the rods. Otherwise it looks like .030 in the bores ans .010 on the journals will sort it out.

Standard stihl

I also did the vcc Pomeroy trophy out at ruapuna the other week along with @Sanfiddy and (/insert jareds handle ( /I don't know what he is on here )). Driving tests included a standing 1/4 mile, a flying 1/4 mile, a braking test, a slalom test, and a 20 minute high speed reliably test on the reace track trying to achieve a set number of laps given from a convoluted handicap formula Got taxed pretty heavily due to 6300cc of engine but otherwise made 9th out of 29 in my class . Managed 115mph at the end of the main straight and with 80s competition brake pads never ran out of stopping power either . Which was a miracle having to stop 4400lbs of car

I've also got the heads and intake manifold and holley 650 double pumper that the old man had ported in the 80s and ran on his 455 so they'll get a set of k liners in the guides and a clean up . Hopefully don't need new valves but we'll see

So @Carsnz123 send me a message November about a pontiac 400 in Hamilton. I promptly sent the seller a message and it turned out to be a 1972 400 with 7k3 heads and the original q-jet ontop. Sparked a deal and then @Beaver did me a solid and picked it up and stored it for a few weeks till john at south island couriers did a north island run and he picked it up and brought it down to chch 2nd week of December rolls around and I've got covid and I get a call from John that he's gonna be in town tommorow. Cunt . Had to call another favor from a workmate to u load it and store it at work till I could come get it in a fortnight . Finally actually saw the motor I'd payed for over a month prior on the 22rd of Dec Got it home and pulled both heads and from best I can tell it's never been opened up till now. Its not up on a stand waiting for some more time to strip it 100%

@sheepers I assume you've probably done a web search but it seems unlikely they should have no movement perhaps the ones you have are stuck? https://www.celicasupra.com/threads/lash-adjuster-service-pictorial.59000/ I did a rb25 head a few years back and the lifters in that were impossible to compress. Seemed to work ok when assembled

What is the tools situation. I am also a solid maybe. I'll see closer to the time

That's pretty cool I'm taking mums 1979 13ft classic away over new years same sorta deal was my grandparents since way back super original inside has the og rianni gas stove and gas fridge etc. And stupid 13" wheels and tiny bearings that arnt really up to the job lol

Just looks better more than anything.

50mm spacing That's normal for repair cert Sils, a pillars, inner gaurds, everything.
