RUNAMUCK

Don't make it a school night next time.

OMG, that gold!

It's prolly quite true too! My bro's G/F is from sweden. They had a picture on their fridge of a group of her friends from back home. And they were all damn fine honeys.

My bro came back from there singing the praises of how much it rules compared with here. Maybe he's onto something......

That inbe has a non triumph engine. I recall an article in street machine mag back in the early '90s "dirty stuff" which said that they were absolutley fail-tastic. A mate of mines dad is probably the most proficient triumph mechanic in CHCH. He says they were just no good. (The motors) and told me about a row he had with some guy who insisted that built properly they were fine. But he said no.

The story he told me was that Trumpet wanted to use the Rover V8. but as there was some doubt as to whether or not their parent company would keep all its car makers. So rover told them to fuck off. As a result they made their own V8, which was a complete piece fo shit.

Quoting Street machine, "for the timing chains, they chose the spindliest bicycle chains they could find". And "the only place you could strop them without them overheating, was on a cold day in Siberea".

The Zed emobies all the things british sports cars were meant to be but weren't. Just buy a tweed jacket and cap, and start smoking a pipe. But FFS, keep the datsun!

They fine you for not going fast? OMG! Book me a ticket, I'm gonna move there!

It wont afffect me, I dont roll the aves. It's beyond me why anyone would want to do laps all night. (yes, I'm an old cunt)

All it would take would ba a smart person to draw up a route that took longer than 60 mins to drive which encompassed ALL off the the streets on the proposed ban streets list. Then they couldn't do anything about it.

Or someone to chalange it in court when they get rolled. Find a civil liberties group to foot the lehgal bill, and stick it to them.

Come to think of it, given the mad horsepower your motor is putting out, you might need the extra wheel base to help keep it in a straight line when you're giving it the welly. Short wheel base drag cars are notorious for being a handfull.

1980's american cars were notorious for being badly made rubbish. A bloke I work with recently bought a mid 80's MAD magazine into work. It was riddled with parody of how shit american cars were. Plus they're ugly.

My old man bought a syphon type one, and we made up a bucket/hopper to feed it. Uses insane amounts of air. Plus you wind up with sand coming out of your eyes, ears, nose, and hair for days afterwards. It's such a cunt of a job, I haven't bothered to use it for years.

"good as liquid steel"!

Triumph is the greatest oxymoron ever.

Built in prewar factories, by people with no idea.

The idea of honing is to povide both a rough surface on the bore wall which can wear the rings into the same shape as the bore. (And get a nice seal) And to provide a place for oil to sit so that it can provide lubrication for the rings against the bore wall.

PCV= Postivie carankcase ventilation. If your breather hoses aren't connected to your intake tract somewhere after the Throttlebody/carb than you have passive crankcase ventilation. The whole idea of a PCV valve is so that the breather hoses don't act like a huge air leak and make your car run like arse/not run at all. Most PCV equiped cars will be jettted a whisker richer to compensate for what is essentially a small air leak.

That middle tool is the one I was (trying to) describe. I was well impressed by how user friendly it was to operate.

I once made a mandrill to use a wheel from that tool in a reqular air die grider. But I found with no shroud is was a bit dangerous to use.

You can get small air cutoff grinders, which are the size of a die grinder, but take a wee disc and have a safety shroud. They use lots of air, but are very easy to control, and cut nicely.

Hmmm, I've heard good things about independant welding supplies from a few people, maybe time to look into getting a bottle of my own.

They might be all G for cylinders, but I hate them on principal for selling me a mig that was a POS telling me it was the shit, and when I came back and said the handpiece was shit being told yeah they weren't very good. (And chargeing me more than he quoted to fix it when it wasn't fit for purpose in the 1st place) So he can eat a dick. I've known other people with the same machine who had to replace the handpiece too. If youre gonna sell something, you should stand by it.

Man I hope there is enough rubber on that tyre for me to ride it home!

The only thing I can remember about my skid was thinking at the end, At least I didn't pop it this time.

nah, it's some aisian cops giving a guy a prolonged beating.

I was gonna post my old fav, but decided to go with the beating one instead.

This is what the thieveing inbread fuckstain cunt-nuggets deserve!

Just watch that and imagine its the douchebag pieice of human garbage who stole it.

I'm gagging for a quiet night tonight. PLus the datto has a fisted zhorst, and no gas in it.

next time, make it on a weekend. I start work too early to be pissing up on a weeknight.

I just rego'd my nifty under it's own chassis number. The form says that it must be under 2KW, <50cc and not able to exceed 50km/h. My honda scoot can touch 70 with a good tail wind going down hill, but most cops don't know the law that well.

Being that it's a motorbike rather than a scooter, you may have a hard time trying to convince the 5-0 that it's a moped. A dumbass cop tried to tell me my nifty needed a wof.

being scatch built you might have to use the new fangle seatbelts that meet the new standards?

I have a mate with a rusty 720, I'll let him know you got it.

Fuck! I was so drunk I don't actually remember doing that skid.

I was the walking dead at 6am this morning when I had to get up for work.

Did I read right, did you say the ute you just bort has an LSD? Damn an H190 LSD is worth what you paid for the ute on it's own! What are the plans for the rest of the ute? (IE, the datsun bits)

firing ATDC sounds retarded if you ask me!
