1mm is good I thrashed the shit out of my 150 (180) at 0.8mm squish for years.

I'm not usually a fan of tribute bikes but the gb500 is an exception.

250 2T made in Wigan

I have a 206 GTI wagon that doesn't light my fire but it's quick over the remutakas. Bought it for $1k because it had a misfire. New coilpack didn't fix it so I pulled injectors out of a pick a part car and found the orings had broken in the originals. New orings sorted it.

Small wagon with factory roof rack and towbar made for a real practical car. Used about 7l/100km.

I say used because a rat got under the dash and had a good chew so it's now a lawn ornament.

Weird old fashioned dashboard, drum rear brakes, door cards don't cover the doors. And 14" pepperpots and 1.6 but this guy's put phase 2 wheels and a GTI6 engine on/in it.

Pepperpots remind me of my old workmate's xr2.  Used to have much fun low speed racing against me in my k10.

These guys are pretty good for co2  https://co2-bottle-refill.co.nz/

Goddamn that's a pretty fucking good Peugeot. I don't know if it's worth $15k but it's pretty fucking good.

My mate Barry uses recycling bags supplied by the council.

I turned it over and it squirted water out but then stopped, now it won't turn over on the starter motor. 

Thanks guys, the glow plugs came out ok. I'll pull the sump plug and make sure it's got oil in the bottom then give it a bash.

Hopefully I haven't killed it, was going slow though.

We had a bit of rain yesterday and the ford was looking a bit high and out of shape so I decided to call on the big wheels of my new 90s Isuzu elf.

Unknown to me the bottom of the air filter housing had been broken/lost and someone had just driven some screws in to hold the filter in place. 

As soon as it hit the water, the engine stopped and wouldn't turn over.

I pulled the truck out with the mighty grey Ferguson and now it's sitting in the drive.

So what can I do? My gut says to take out the glow plugs and turn it over but there's a radiator in front of the crank pulley and reaching in there doesn't seem to be a nut to put a socket on.

Are you putting a Morris minor side valve in it?

Might be worth looking at radiators for mini tractors and diggers, some of them are small and square.

Cheers I'll just let him take care of it.

@johnny.racebottom ones. There's one good one from 8, 3 have side play and 4 are complete toast. The grenaded ones have the remains of bearing races in them, not sure if they're salvageable.

Bought the digger off a mate and he said he'll sort them for me. I don't mind rebuilding them if I can else I'll just let him sort it.

Do people change bearings in these or just replace the whole roller?

Does the centre press out with the bearings on it or?

It's a rough inferior.

If you go to dedicated LPG you can increase the CR too and claw back some of the efficiency loss.

Another plus is LPG doesn't condense on the cylinder walls like petrol does during cold starts, which dilutes the oil and causes cylinder/piston/ring wear.

These sets are mint if you have a pin vise, I think Jaycar sell them for 10x the price if you're in a hurry

From what I can remember, hydraulic clutch issues, false neutrals in the gearbox and Italian style electrics.

Damn I wish that KTM hadn't been cursed by satan himself, fuck I liked that thing.

I'd love a svartpilen but they have the same curse.

Most cabrios look awful to me except for that first warm day of spring when they look like the best thing in the world..

These look so bad with the roof up it's difficult to even find a photo.

These were pretty sweet tho

French girls wearing only a shirt I mean...

It's a virgin.
