  1. I lived there for a while and I only got slightly stabbed a couple of times.
  2. This just came up on FB, assuming its the right size for my arse, its the perfect style and colour for the X1/9 Assuming I can get it and its the right size, can someone pick it up and store it for a couple of weeks?
  3. https://themetricnut.co.nz/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1724&search=Relay
  4. ^ I can vouch for the level of retardation, I bet he couldn't breathe while he typed that.
  5. When I put the rebuilt engine into the Dynafari the engine builder said to run plain water for 500km or so, must be something in it.
  6. Yea so this got the backburner big time as the next day from that ^ I wound up in hospital and spent 8 days there. This is a tedious story where my partially removed gall bladder decided to spontaneously weld itself back together, make gallstones that happily blocked my bile duct, which basically meant my liver was pumping bile into the wrong bit of my insides. I turned very yellow until they flew me to chch on the flying doctor plane (this was actually pretty awesome) and reamed me out. I still have a drain in and hopefully will be getting surgery mid Feb to sort the rest of it. This is all very very boring, I would not recommend in any way. -43/10 So many wasted shed hours. But in the meantime I have been slowly picking away at things, nothing too serious tho. Splashed out on some new hoops, Goodride something's at $80 a corner fitted. They may not stay but will be an improvement on the tyres that were there, these were the same ones it had when I sold it. Then I installed the heater and dash, this hurt me and I probably shouldn't have done it. @HumberSS has found a heater mech out of an NA MX5 for me so I should be able to hack that in there. There is a wrecker in chch who quoted $260 plus shipping for an original heater mech, which is more than a 1/3rd the cost of the entire car so they can get fucked. I had to draw up and print a vent that was missing, some previous owner decided to bin all the heater gubbins and had weirdly blocked off the screen vents which wasnt particularly solid thinking. I also spent a bit of time rerouting and extending the control cables as the heater is out of an earlier car. I bought a cheap AFR off AliX a while ago so I mounted this while I was at it. The seatbelts were pretty toast and of different makes. I had bought some cheap seatbelts off FB, but when I picked them up the tags were unconvincing; So when I got flown to Christchurch to talk to the surgeon last Wednesday I (again probably stupidly given my state of health) grabbed a lime scooter over lunch and made my way to NZ Seatbelts and picked up some proper ones. These got fitted up; Now I just have to look wistfully at this and hope that in a month or so I will be fit enough be able to drop it so I can finally sort the wiring;
  7. I can enquire, that would be appreciated.
  8. Ah so this is proving difficult somehow. The wreckers want gold for the d21 stuff cos they break, I have marketplaced a few people but no replies. So I looked for more possibles and an NA MX-5 unit looks bang on. I am trying to join the NZ mx5 page so I can ask there but nothing yet. There is one on TM but its $50 plus 20 shipping and that just feels excessive. Has anyone got any dead MX-5's lying around?
  9. Unfortunately it is a serious question, I just bought these boys of fb marketplace to chuck into the fiat but I am pretty unconvinced they are legit ..
  10. On the other hand, I wondered about just having 3 unlabelled control wires poking out the dash.
  11. Someone near me is wrecking a Navara and has that mech so I will see how that works out. Failing that I may go to the wreckers in Motueka on the weekend, he is happy for me to have a scrounge around. Cheers for all the suggestions...
  12. Dunno about your amateur efforts but I am just used to a 3 way
  13. I also asked about the gearbox in one and it was like $1500. Dude I just bought an entire live reg car for half of that, go get fucked.
  14. Only 2 levers and some scodie ozzy shite anyway. But thank you
  15. Yea na, I already talked to them and they quoted $240 + shipping. Just no cunt.
  16. I mean there will be hackery
  17. This shot kindof shows what is supposed to be there;
  18. They changed it a couple of times, I think the heater I have is an earlier one so the control cables probably wont work with the correct control panel for my car. However i have ordered a 3m bonnet release cable so I can make new cables. And I know I can probably get everything i need from Midwest Bayless, but think of the shipping Also; D21 terrano?
  19. Im sure there are thousands of suitable jap shitter ones lying around.
