Goes good.

Interesting! I wonder if his numbers would have been much different if he measured at the lifter instead of on a lathe?

Weren't your Echo cams 264° at 1.0mm lift, though? x

I think you should call a muffler shop. Realistically, it won't really matter what you fit, but you'll want something close to 44mm to avoid using a reducer.

Graph please!

Good info. I figured there would be some justification for most minitrucks going triangulated. I reckon a watts would be great. I'm sure you'd be skilled enough to fabricate the 4 link brackets and arms yourself @shizzl, just have to decide on the geometry before locking it down.

How come you're thinking of going triangulated instead of parallel with a panhard rod or watts? You don't have a back seat to worry about, so there's loads of options. I reckon a 3 link with panhard rod would be the easiest option and would give you full articulation at any bag height. Can be set up for great handling too.

The motor in @MaxPower 's KE25 is testament to what a 2T-B can do. It's a fairly basic block AAFIK (standard pistons) and has more compression, a big boy cam, good extractors and a set of sideys. It was ~120kw on a similar rolling road to what @kpr has and used to happily rev to 8500+. It'd be cool to build a full-noise one!

Wow, that thing is cool!

@square, are you Queenstown based? I swear I saw this at VTNZ the other day. Keen as to check out the G20 one day. I owned one in the USA for a couple of months and miss it so much. They're great rigs. There's a few oldschoolers in town now, so we should probably all catch up for a brew somewhere....

I'm pretty sure @Rhyscar added choke plates into his collectors for the 2ZZ. It's all in that 4 stroke tuning book, but dunno how to make it work for a 3cyl setup.

Brent should still have the eagle on file actually. We did one for a trans am back in 2019 or something. It was huuuuuge.

We went through the same one. Seemed like a casual bunch of coppers. Nice to meet a few more south islanders! And keen to get something going for summer. Thanks for the ride too @azzurro. It was an honour to ride in theb only OS car at the meet N.S Ritchie Lawnmower Repairs Ltd

Suurely there's something useful happening there, but the merge location might come down to packaging in the Carina? Here's a handy video to illustrate what an IS250 engine sounds like at half of your target RPM (still way nicer than a VQ):

Grrrr, I'm going on the maybe list now. Just spent the last 3 days in bed with the flu and am unsure when it'll let up

It's looking great with an engine in the hole. Oil cooler ducts seem to be taking shape too!

Nuts to butts on the XL250R.

8/9 July could be a goer. I'll try to drag @TimShadboltfan27 along. Anyone got a spare couch or space for an airbed in Dunners?

I could be keen for a drive from Queenstown....

Shit yeah, THC Westcapade looks good.

Yeah, that looks fun!

A small bike enduro on the farm would be pretty fun. I'm sure there's plenty of sweet obstacles around the place?

I'd be keen to see a Westcapade this year. Kawhia, Raglan, Port Waikato and everything in between. Not sure if it's possible to do a loop, but a there-and-back mission with a few detours and crossovers would be great.

You know what to do.

I think everyone hid their phones from the torrents of water, so dunno if there's much video from 22.
