  1. Does anyone know the messuremnts for the 4 Spark Plug Holes on a D series Valve cover? Looking at making one into a light for the man-cave and need to know before i buy if they will fit the light fittings. Was going to mount 4 Goldair Batten Light Holder White GBHE27 through the gaps.
  2. Does anyone know where in Auckland someone can get a cheapish 2.5inch system including a nice sports muffler from?
  3. Ok thanks guys, I have had a chat to him, he cant drive manual due to an issue with his left foot so is stuck on Automatic gearboxes only. He really wants the turbo sound so have passed on your feedback to him. He is also going to fit an S2000 airfilter which is a drop in replacement for the AUG engine and is meant to give a nice 1-2hp gain. Where would the best place to buy one? I have put a circle around the type he needs, needs to be an OEM paper one.
  4. Ok cool thanks, I am sure he wanted the classic Psst style noise when he lifts off the throttle. thanks for the help
  5. Ok, i think i understood that, but just so I tell him correctly. He cant have an external dumping valve cause the car already has messured the air and will run poorly if he does?
  6. A friend brought a Audi A3 1.8T 1999 Model with a AUG (??) engine.
  7. Silly Question but can you fit a BOV to an Automatic Gearboxed Turbocharged Engine?
  8. Thanks guys. I'll hit you up @GuyWithAviators when I am at that stage. I think I need to get busy with some steel wool and sand paper. Stay tuned for a shiny framework that has had a ton of elbow greese used on it! Got to make her look clean and tidy
  9. I have decided to stop for a while. Make a clear plan. Make stages. 1st get the frame tidy and painted. Fit new brakes and lines. Going be a while but good things take time! 2nd repair damage to plastic parts 3rd worry about an engine. I was doing it ass backwards. Getting too emotional and post buying regret when it turned out not quite to be as advertised. So no more rushing in and now its time to take it slow. Pour myself a Jack and just get busy with steel wool and some sand paper! Let's get her tidy before worrying about power, but when the time comes i have already talked to shore50s for a 125cc Lifan for it!
  10. Yeah im not buying it. He got very angry very fast. I said i would pay his success fee and he can request a refund from Trademe (so he has made on the deal) and leave me bad feedback. But he isn't very nice to deal with. I pointed out that some really good guys said the gear selector shaft is wielded and that would make rebuild impossible and how has it been stored. He has yet to answer. What does TL:DR I warned you mean?
  11. Im going to have a rethink of the whole thing, will take a few days and come back to you all. Sorry.
  12. Ah crap didnt even see that, not that i would have known to look at it Should i pull out of the sale?
  13. Purchased a CT-110 engine off trademe for $200, guy says it had a rebuild within the last 5 years. No 100% sure what has been done, but brings my total investment to $355.
  14. Attached the Tow bar and gave it a good clean. Going to give it a good going over with a wire brush attachment on my drill. Then give it a couple of good coats of black paint to stop it rusting again.
  15. Ok, so most of you know the drama with the purchase of my 1981 ATC-110-S (May-June Production date) and its the S model what ever that means! So i was delivered to me with a "complete engine' which turned out to be missing 50% of the parts. Oh well, yes I moaned about it and got pissed off but time to move on. Stage 1 of the build, get the Frame de-rusted, luckly only surface rust so 5 hours of scrubbing wth steel wool, water, CRC and de-greeser and its coming along nicely I think.
  16. Hi everyone, Helping my next door neighbor out, he purchased a 50cc scooter with plates but has found it the previous owner de-reg it and now he cant get a new rego to use on the road. He doesn't have any supporting documents from the previous owner (purchased via facebook and the guy has blocked him). Has a Vin number and its not stolen according to VTNZ/Police. Any idea how he re-rego a 50cc scooter? Cheers
