Question for ltsa my car lasped for 5 years I got it recerted and they issued a 12 month wof which has happened several times but the last two have only been 6 months which is correct?

What year is the car.?

Looking good in the pics, even with spray cans. The cost of materials for a proper repaint is so high today!

Is that Boeing's excuse for the side falling off?

No, that looks like some critical bolts being left out.

My understanding is that it's related to the manufacturer GVM ratings, if it's rated as a heavy vehicle then it would be hard to get it reduced just by removing equipment.

YMMV

Rig the trailer for camping and run an alternator off the pinion flange to charge camp batteries?

In one of the King Country trucking books I had there was a story about a powered trailer, maybe using a cadillac v8 or something like that. So, could rig up a running 1kz in the trailer and have a dual engined rig for the big loads!

Did some prep today. Washed off last Wagnats and genuine Foxton barn find dust. Next job on the list is unpack from last time.

 

You could have just rolled up without unpacking.

Tucked away, will get braced/lashed in place eventually.

Not the easiest thing to move, but I got the pullmax out of the garage and into the container yesterday. Screwed it down onto some wood to make it a bit more stable across the gravel

Dragged it out of the garage

Then used the offroad jack and a crowbar to move it sideways

And the engine crane to hoik it up the step

And in

Followed that,didn't sell. I was quite keen but wonder if it was a little overpriced?? Missed the others that have come up, need to keeps me eyes peeled...unless someone on here wants to sell theirs??!

You should have got this one in New Plymouth somewhere for $2300

It's now been moved to Auckland, repainted, and listed for $8000

Id go HKB all day. 

I no longer have the photos, but i got one off aliexpress for SFA, and it was so absolutely atrocious i refused to use it. It was so bad i donated it to LVVTA as an example of whats out there. ( @KKtrips may still have it?)  It was the stuff of nightmares. Because once bolted on, nobody wohld be able to see how terrible it was. And its a critical safety part. If it fails, youre gonna crash. 

It's here

That sort of adaptor uses countersunk screws normally don't they?

Most of the force on the gearbox would be torque/rotation so the mounting bolts will be loaded in shear so should be fine.

How much power will you be transferring anyway

oh gawd. How is tesla earning carbon credits?

I can't deny that the sales and marketing team at Tesla are top notch. I have two friends that have bought teslas brand new. One a model 3, the other a model Y. Both are university-educated professionals, with university-educated wives and sets of youngish kids. They both are the kind of guys who would google the shit out of any purchase they made, yet nothing ever came up with the car they were about to buy. Not the dodgy suspension or the range-faking algorithm, or the self-drive that kills people. I wonder if they get them serviced?

In the US, selling credits from ZEV's to offset other makers gas-guzzlers.

and no scheduled servicing? so the brake fluid will never get changed? nor the cabin air filter? weird

They don't need to build long-lasting cars to make lot of money
