TRade you a set of steelies for the wheels?

They leak oil internally. it ends up going through the engine.

Well this happened Bye Bye golf. It's been fun. Now I have money to spend on the 260C YAY.

puhuhuhu

The one on the trailer or the one towing the trailer?

Careful M8 he might actually do it.

How does a WOF station determine if an engine produces more than 20% over factory spec and requires cert? Like say you do the whole port/polish, hot cam, better flowing things, ect Can the WOF man go "Na, its making more power go get a cert"? I know if you strap a turbo/supercharger on that is grounds for cert. Even an already turbo car. Wind the boost up, bigger injectors, retune, lots more power. Can the vehicle be chucked out on the inspector suspecting it makes more power? @igor I have no clue what a steam powered bike gets classed as.

Is it a moped or a motorcycle? A moped has: two wheels a maximum speed not exceeding 50km/h, and either: an engine capacity not exceeding 50cc, or a power source other than a piston engine. For vehicles first registered prior to 1 May 2011 A moped includes a motor vehicle with three wheels, a power output not exceeding 2kW and a maximum speed of 50km/h. There are definitions for three wheel vehicles registered on or after 1 May 2011. Please contact the NZ Transport Agency for these requirements. https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/vehicle-types/motorcycles-and-mopeds/information-for-moped-riders/

Any cunce heading to the Hanmer Motorfest? Been the last couple years and its a good day out. http://www.falconfairlaneclub.co.nz/Menu/Hanmer-Springs-Motorfest.php

Should be an awesome car. Makes me want to do something with the E3 in the paddock. You might be pushing it trying to get a 10k redline out of a M44 or M42. Do some research into the S42 engine. BMW were making 300hp out to those in the late 90s Touring cars.

Maybe I'll go talk to Hayden fuck-I'm-a-good-welder.

I think it also has to have 2 wheels.

Sounds about right. I'd rather be working on my car. Probably will get up earlyish and do just that. Tractor or baler will probably brake so then I'll be on mechanic duty. Im probably enquiring to the wrong generation. Purdy sure I'm one of the younger ones on here. @johnnyfive you on a plane yet?

I've got a pair of jeans with a suspicious looking stain down the leg as a result of waterproof PVA

80mm toe change!? Jeasus that would be an exciting ride.

My parents are Baleing hay this weekend 27/28th and require help to pick it up and put into sheds. Conventional bales and no thistles so should be pretty reasonably easy. Depending on how Dewey and foggy or not as to how early we start. Normally not before 10a but carry on into the early evening. Food, beer, and some pocket money supplied for your troubles.

done some algebra. Need to remove 7.3 cc from the chambers to get 10:1 CR.

Watched a couple YouTube videos. They make it look super easy. Might give it a go on an old Briggs and scrap iron head first.

Na never touched a tig. Was thinking of giving it a go with the gas torch.

I did a couple exhaust manifold in mums green bin. Lined the sides with steel rods and suspended the manifold in the middle. Left it hooked to a 6 amp charger for half a day. Took all the rust off no probs. changing the subject: Anyone here have experience welding cast aluminium? Was thinking of welding up the combustion chambers of a spare L26 head to bump up the compression. Factory is 8.8:1 and I want 10:1. Skimming it won't yield the results I want.

What ratio is the diff in your car? I'm going to strip that R30 hatch to donate its trans to Karls coal train. might as well pull the rear subframe at the same time.

Probably going to spend most of next weekend working on my Datsun seeing as I got nothing done on it this weekend. If anyone is heading out to the street party on Thursday I'll be there with a group of bikes. Other than that see you at ruapuna for skope.

Yeah that will work better than just a bar in tr corner

Electrolysis is line of sight so you'll get better results with multiple cathodes around the planter box.

Testing out @SOHC's Epsom salt in battery sharn. Will report back with results when battery is charged.
