RUNAMUCK

Did you properly fix your clutch cable? Or is it still the bodge from last year?

Nope, thats expired.

Mine usually needs kicking because fucked battery.

Electric start efi goodness.

Holy shit! From eleven months down to one! I better do my winter lay away maintenance on my bike! Actually, ive done nothing to it. Im not even sure if it has a wof! Ffffffffffffff........

Hey Hogan, @Truenotch can probably reset your @427carguy password, and even change your username if you like.

Im coming although i might not make 12 bang on.

Thats cuts deep man....... /probably not untrue, but hurts none the less..........

The 1600 is parked up in a garage. 521 is a 620. Thats in the garage here. Its awfully far along, but still not quite there yet. I should probably start a thread for that.

I noticed that. Which would timestamp those pictures at around 07-08? Jennifer street days. That party when @datsunboy and @dattohorder ripped fat skids outside your house was a great evening. Truely a golden age........

My old kart hd some shonky pitch sprocket on the axle. The clutch sprocket was 3/8 ASA pitch. The bottom sproket was something else, but the ASA chain seemed to fit. (Well enough)

No that was Maggie. She was a used cat, and came with that name when we got her. She was even more fluffy that oscar.

Spend too much time wound off the end of the speedo?

That guy was @forced wasnt he?

Thanks Alex. Without spamming up the actual build thread, heres the back story. Our cat is elderly. She annoys me, and was never the favourite. (Other cat is long deceased) but she is a loved part of our family. However her fur goes everywhere. If i take off my work clothes, and put on garage clothes, she'll lie on them and make them all hairy. And her fur collects in tufts all over the carpet/on my norsewear socks. I dont want another cat. I told her i bought another datsun. Theres a garage space at mums for it. Obviously it looks like shit to a non car person. So she blew up and over reacted like a dick. Purely as an excuse to force her will of getting two kittens once Oscar finally falls off the perch. (Yes our girl cat has a boys name, thats another sharn) Anyway, I need to do a three hour mish to go pick it up. At this point, its finding a weekend where both the seller and i arent busy. Then try and get a non rolling car off the trailer, and into the garage. New years day 2023 i heled a friend move a datsun shell, and when i found the mechanical load limit of my once infallable guns i tore my bicep tendon. Subsequently ill be employing a greater degree of care/different methodology at that time. I havent seen them, but the seller tells me the guy who tubbed it out also welded the bonnet and front gaurds together. With a veiw to making a tilt front.

GREAT SUCCESS! Id rather be set on fire that own one of these. But theres something oddly satifying about this thread. You must be pretty stoked with the outcome! You might say its a Stella effort!

The ones on the rear are what my kart ran when i was a kid/when it was first built. (When it ran a 3.5hp Kawaski) it was only 1wd. Once we smoked the first one, we ran ones like the front o the driven wheel. Brcause they are so soft, the 5hp shreaded them with ease.

Are those 4" wheels? My old kart ran 4" tyres with a 5hp briggo. It could wear a brand new tyre (like that ones on the front) down far enough to pop in less that one tank of gas.......

Wicked!!!!! Damn those cicadas are loud up here eh! Most excellent update!

And as it sits as of a couple of days ago when it was exhumed from a barn its been buried in for probably 10+ years

Because im a fuckwit who hoards projects instead of finishing them. I was offered this car at a price too cheap to refuse. Before i had kids, i did a bit of drag racing. Its an addiction which can only be cured by poverty. However (depending on the chassis) race modifications quickly compromise a cars streetability. This particular example may not be able to be registered again. (Untill i collect it and see if a plate and tag are amongst the parts or not) People active in the Christchurch datsun scene may remember seeing it before. A bloke started building it with burnout car in mind. At that time he had an SR20 which had come out of the rayglass datsun. He sold that sperately when he moved the body on to another mate in Oamaru. (From whom im buying it) unfortunately the 9" and mags arent included. (For what i paid, im not suprised) Anyway, heres some potato photos. When it was first done,

Ooof! Not long now!

I might do both. Do you think it will attack the aluminium manifold/thermostat housing?

Not likely. Dads cousin would like to see it running again. Very unlike dad, he doesnt want a bar of it. Reportedly some other Barry has expressed interest in it. the tractors owner would be 80 ish. It was ran when parked. Although it appears some penis fingers been playing with it.

Oooh, Dads cousun has a super ancient one of those! First tractor on the west bank of the Wairau river. Presently in a barn thats collapsed.
