  1. Yeah but for $50 one can buy a complete triumph with all the gauges you need *

     

     

     

     

     

    *so long as its an S or pi. And I have no idea on triumph values. Having owned 5 of them I have no need to go back to another.

    Apart from Bart's lawn of despair, would many "amateurs" buy a lot of petrol for lawnmowing

    7km of pushing a mower at our place if I do all the lawns at once :grin:

  3. A local marahau mate was looking for a cheap car or van and hannah found a listing for a primera wagon, manual, in blenheim for 3k. I know they have a strong following in Europe and a good reputation so sent him the link and he's ended up buying it today for $2800. He just popped in to show me...

    I think he's scored a bargain. I took it for a hoon. Rev limiter is at 8k. Fuck it goes well and the induction sounds cool as. Handles nice and so much room in the back.

    I'll be doing a service on it. Anyone on here into these things and anything I should be looking for while its up on the hoist?

  4. Yeah I think the subie box will be OK. Certainly much better gearing overall which will help rein in what I know will be a much thirstier engine than the datto A12. Not that I clock up huge mileage on any of our cars anyway. 

    Hopefully the subie gearshift will be nice because the imp box, tired 1st synchro aside, has a fantastic gearshift!
