  1. @KKtrips As discussed at quaranationals, you 100% need to come along on this run too. It's literally the final frontier of proper good old fashioned adventure. (Without the need to be some kind of finely tuned athlete, which I'll never be)
  2. Nah. Probs not. Under seat storage on a twist n go is handy for gear nor thrown into a support trailer.
  3. If it does 60, you'll be fine. It's just slow on the gravel. 8 hours is a bit of an exaggeration. Plus we stop for fish and chips/burgers/PG's/GCSBeaver's power tour tutorials.
  4. What style of 50cc? It's well do-able on a twist and go. But on a nifty50, or a stock fa50 it would be pretty punishing. As said, small wheels are death on the more gnarly gravel stages. A bigger wheeled fiddy could likely carry a higher average speed on the rough stuff. I wouldnt dream of doing it on a machine that couldn't do an honest 61-63. And do it all day long. (Reliably)
  5. Nah I think it tucks into a rolled edge?
  6. Awesome work guys. I can watch stuff like that all day.
  7. It never leaked when I owned it. (It was just permanently permeated with the foul stench of blowby and terror sweat.) Looking amazing Josh. Warms the cockles of my heart to see her looking so good.
  8. Can you slot the holes where the engine mount brackets affix to the block to sling the engine a bit lower in the hole? Alternatively, I think the 2ltr engines have a taller deck height. So with the z18 motor you gain a bit of clearance.
  9. Its insanity to be fizzing this far out. But I'm gushing like a broken water main already! Driving along today thinking about its awesomeness, I completely zoned put and forgot where I was even going.
  10. "That bit there, that's the bit that spins round and round"
  11. I hope we manage to dodge the rain like last year. Holy fucking shitballs it rained hard.
  12. That was a fucking cool day out!
  13. Hey regarding that bumper, Of it's the one it always had sorry its bent. I drove into the back of @Shaz lancer leaving the ferry terminal. Also also also, Dont lose those bumper bar brackets! They changed them about a year into the production run. I had a Lot of trouble finding those early ones. (I think I got some of Snail eventually) that's why it came with a few sets of irons. Ps, Love your work homie.

    I just ordered the tool shed one. No one ever regrets buying tools.
  15. I like to regurgitate things that I've heard properly clever people say to make people think I'm a lot smarter than I really am. (But threads like this reinforce my suspision that I'm not that smart after all) My two cents on this whole thing, (Prepare a grain of salt?to dismiss completely) A book I read once said that those full bell shaped trumpets outflow the old school style ones. (maybe inside an airbox, I dont recall exactly) and with the glorious video with the huge long PVC tubes, (Her indoors indignantly asked me to close the door if I'm going to watch loud videos like that) I would wonder about the suitibiltiy of that diameter tube over that length? A 1600 is a pretty small engine. And the ID of that tube wouldnt be much (if any) smaller than the intake runners on a crysler 413/426 cross ram. (Thats knocking on 7000cc, or close to four and a half 4age's) With the trumpets at their shortest, it was just about getting the air in. But I would ask how fast the column or air was moving in the longest runner test/what was the velocity like? Ive seen a number of examples on the exhaust size where smaller diameter longer primary pipes make more power. Yes I barely grasp the concept of fluid dynamics. But I know that a 5 inch system on a 3K wont do much good. Not throwing stones, just agreeing with thats formerly been said that there are a LOT of variables to be considered. Also car makers have some very very clued up cunts working for them. and they have thousands of hours of R&D and testing under their colective belts.
  16. Sweet whip bruh. Does it have UJ's on the rear half shafts, or CV joints?
  17. I've had good.results by bleeding with a syringe to suck the juice through. Also with a rebuild master make sure you get all the air out of the master cylinder
  18. This is a click like the one a really really old remote control car made (the kind with a cord from the controller to the car) when you kept making it turn once it reached full lock
  19. Watching that video is like doing it again. Fuck I enjoyed the Motu last year. I think that says a lot about how punishing the rest of the gravel was.....
