  1. I have another way but it's messy. White spirits will slowly eat into the glue and release the screen but it can take a while and you have to por it in and slice in as much as possible with a blade, etc. It's how I've done it a few times, less pressure on or near the edges of the screen to risk that doomish crack that makes your stomach drop.
  2. Kids had Landcrabs, Minis, Escorts and Cortinas when I was at school and they were already old. I had an ER185. My how times have changed. I still can't afford a 32GT-R and some school-kid has one? Cripes.
  3. Maybe check with Kelvin? Didn't he do something you could still run small rims on? Or was it that green/going to be grey E7 rolla? I forget. Someone on here has done it though. AP racing calipers on tiny vented discs, IIRC.
  4. Before you take it for cert I would do a good look around the car to see how the "swap" was done. Whether it was just running gear or whether it was a cut and shut/chassis swap.
  5. Depends how picky your WoF man is BUT the reality is that if it is as we fear, it's illegal. So, if you have a mischief in it, your insurance will fall back onto that and you'll be fucked.
  6. I'm not sure if Mazdas of that era have data plates but I would assume they do. They easiest thing to check would be the data plate against factory details.
  7. I don't know man, don't even know if it's 100% accurate. I think the plate tracks back to a 2.0 litre piston one, could be a plate swap, could be an engine swap with legit bits, could just be a mix up, I don't know, really.
  8. Is it the one with a red engine bay that should be piston powered but is a rotary conversion and hasn't been certified for it?
  9. People have been doing diesel conversions for years, I can't imagine they'd have outlawed it.
  10. Fuck I laughed at accidentally hooking 5th.
  11. Do not understand the love for the VL, in fact, I'm sure that thing was in the trademe hilarity thread at some stage.
  12. I think that ride on your previous ride that used to be beaver's ride has the best curves of all of those.
  13. We're all married to them and our sisters, you'll have to get your own. Explain your situation there fulla, I thought you were moving to Dunedin?
  14. He said he was "thinking of" that scheme. I just offered another colour option and a reason why. I wouldn't say it was changing his plans at all. INFACT! Ignore the colour comparison to Chris' bike if you like. I now suggest blue as the alternate, so it matches your scrotum. Is that OK guys? Can I suggest that?
  15. Lifted the centre section, jacked one side and wheeled the front and read sections out. Piece o' piss.
  16. Cheers for the Recip, Lowrents. I got it finished off... ..it's now out of the shed and the coupe is back in with the Sunny where the sedan was in this photo.
  17. Luminescent metallic/flaked as fuck green with a pearlescent white, pinstriping between the sections and atop the tank and rear guard. Only saying to go green as Chris already has an orange and I reckon you want a point of difference.
  18. He's still plugging away at it AFAIK, although I haven;t had an update in a while. He's supposed to hit me up when he needs the rear lens.
  19. Not with the W55's first gear you wouldn't. That sucker is crazy.
