Nice work! Looks like the original engine was either a 2T or 2T-B pushrod engine. The 2TG was a twin cam. Either way, an F20C is definitely a good upgrade!

How loud were the cones in person? I’m pretty surprised about that peak down low. It’s a considerable jump!

Indeed I am. First post has been updated. Meet at burgerfuel Rptotuna on Thursday August 20th for burgers and Sharns. I wont be creating a Facebook event for this one, but feel free to invite any friends along.

This video does a good job of showing those effects on a Honda B engine:

We're going back into Level 2.... But a meet will still fit within the rules, right? How does everyone feel about going back to Burgerfuel on Thursday August 20th? I'm not going to advertise this publicly on Facebook (although I might create a private event) as it would be nice to make these more oldschool.co.nz focused. The vision is more about a bunch of mates having sharns and less about a large collection of cars. Let me know what you think.

My oil bottle jams under the seat where the standard oil reservoir used to sit and I use a measuring cup from bunnings to get the ratio right.

GN's don't make enough power for it to cause a problem.

The 250 will fit in fine. @BLIZZO will probably still beat you over the Motu.

@anglia4 - here's a listing for 2.75-18's: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/tyres/listing-2683484004.htm?rsqid=4e295cfc7ac642c08d90243bdca362c8-003

It was probably the most common tyre on last year's ride. I ran a 3" SR241 in the front and it was great.

Ive got to buy some shipping steez and do a bit of admin, so will organised a packaging night when that sale sorted.

I can confirm that Waikaremoana Holiday Park has cabins available if you call them directly. Booked a 5 bed fisherman's cabin for the 28th.

Hey Hamilton crew. I'll need a hand packaging and addressing all the nats shirts that need to be sent away. Perhaps we should have a bit of a mid week meet up to sort this out sometime soon? @64valiant, @mark105, @Beaver, @Archetype, @Geophy, @Yowzer, @Zeubin, @WankBankA100, @flyingbrick

Churr peeps. I'll give them a tingle tomorrow. Edit - Gizzy accom booked for @RUNAMUCK, @Beaver, @mark105 and myself.

Thanks. Next question... Who has a spare bed or 5? looks like she's full!

@johnnyfive - can you please add the locations for each night to the first post? I went to book accommodation and got confuse. Friday Gisborne, Saturday Waikaremoana? Also, who would like to bunk-up in a fisherman's cabin at Waikaremoana? @Beaver, @Geophy, @mark105, @RUNAMUCKBORT?

Nice, it had a leg shield! Don’t see that too often.

Sounds like a wise idea.

Sounds like it's time for a Beams conversion.

Our boot lock is butchered from accidentally locking the key in the boot once... now it’s jut a vague hole that you can turn with a screwdriver etc. The rear springs look factory to me. If you decide to upgrade, try to find something stiff with a linear rate (not progressive).

Oh wow, I know this car! It was never very fast (hence being in the RS cup), but did loads of events and the owner was always good to chat to. Did you get the logbook with all the homologation papers etc? Are the Konis able to be converted to coil over? These cars improve a lot with stiffer springs.

QuickDicks for life.

What brand of pot belly paint did you use? I painted my motorbike exhaust with a hot black paint from Mitre10. I think it might have been Plastikote brand? It cured nice and flat and stuck really well. I cured it for half an hour or so with a heat gun and it seemed to work well. I feel like it was this stuff: https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/plastikote-hot-paint-spray-paint-400ml-black/p/359061

Chityeah, let's gooooo.
