Toucan

Oops I forgot about art dico weekend, would have been keen and not working for once but I already made other plans. Fail

What a sweet event!

Owned by the sun but loved it. Only had a Saturday ticket so I am hoping to find somewhere I can watch the top ten online

Niiiiiiice.

Always happy to see someone finally acquire what they were pining.

Real cool 180sx anyway

Awesome. Belletts are great vehicles, people will either have never heard of them before or recognise it with fond memories from one that so and so had way back.

I did about a 1000kms no problems the same day I collected my old one.

Inspiration car is a cool one too

DC2 is great daily

Mean Phil, should be able to produce heaps more blue smoke with these well thought out modifications 

Way too new for here!!!

Ps i have one for sale, cosmetically pretty well used, small dent in guard and bonnet plus peeling clear coat all over, mechanically fine just passed wof etc

This is hands down the best thing I will read all year

A+ review, very informative, tanks.

Hand finishing next step?

Also schedule just says racing for both sat/sun, which is best viewing?

Quite keen, does this sell out or can you usually buy tickets close to the event?

The Tirau based guys have done a bike for me and 2 for dad, always good service.

Brass overflow tube in the actual bowl. It looks like someone has used jbweld previously but was still leaking. Seems to work for now anywho

Araldite for internal carb repair? Yes/no/too late done it

Spent whole day in the shed, bike was in about 4 parts and is now in about 40. Totally got carried away. Two steps forward three steps back etc

Yea getting some clear winter days up these ways, need to get in the garage and work on the shitter

Keen for 675LT

Forgot to watch it, again, anyone got an online sauce?

Website playing up for me also but did manage to see new rego cost for bike will be 405.71, no idea what it's currently costing /its on hold

Oh man sudden urge to own a Subaru XT

That Civic is awesome. Don't do anything like that to the Carina plz

This post is for Joe

Awhile ago I began cutting up seat pan and making mounts for the tail fairing to go on. Recessed tail light into the fairing a touch etc. Got just beyond the point of no return before I realised I have no idea what I am doing. Need to shape the seat foam a bit lower then cover it all up. Will likely paint side covers black and tail fairing the same? or white.

Also carbs have been off and on a heap of times trying to determine why fuel is leaking out one of the overflows, have put a new needle valve and seat in that carb and checked float height but its still pissing out which makes me grrrr. Also stick with fiber gaskets cause the silly plasticy ones I got last time which are meant to be very reuseable shrunk like crazy.

Despite the leaking it starts real easy on both kicker and starter motor, idles smooth and revs well. Haven't played with colourtune plug thing any more but that is on the cards for fine tuning later on once carbs are not leaking and on "for good".

^ one of only a handful of cars not riding on foose wheels, heh.

Was mean, got there early Friday and had a look around then watched the parade leave town

Weather looks poo poo for the weekend. Planning to head up Thurs night or Friday.

I saw on FB that they are resurfacing the gorge an there are lots of delays

Skids for the kids mayte.

Onemana cruise is always a highlight. I hope to be there for a weekend but unlikely to get time off work to come any earlier
