I got off a no wof / no reg for my car parked outside my house by saying I'd just parked it on the road to weld it up for a wof.

in england the day before i drove with my mates from manchester to the glastonbury festival in my mk1 transit ambulance i noticed the radiator was leaking.

one egg in the radiator later, she was ready to go. made it.

on the way back at about 4 in the morning one of the retreads unwound for motorway lols. haven't bought a retread since.

yeah the high octan burns faster = rev higher

also orings will sort your headgasket problems when you crank up the boost

i see the hyundi in there for the second year running so when's someone putting one in a celeste?

motor up. my mate swears by it.

most old soobs including the leones have the r160, but I think some of the more powerful ones use the r180, so there should be a few about.

i'm in fore more pizza goodness

I don't get it. a quick trademe search says a 406 is worth 5-10k, apparently $18k paid. bodykit $20k, 'engineering' 20k? altogether $58k and they want to make a profit on an unfinished project?

I reckon the value is closer to the cost of the bodykit.

Has it been that long since an update?

Did plenty of welding on the new one, and now it's my daily. Drove it to Auckland last weekend. It didn't miss a beat and came back with a door stencil.

It's got a roll bar now too, and impreza seats mounted on the original rails.

Today I got new front strut inserts for $30+ each!

While I was in the hutt I thought I'd pick up these too:

EA5speed front case, EJ FWD (lower) gears and AWD transfer case.

and matching viscous rear

Should keep me busy for a bit. 5 gears will definitely help too.

good to meet you guys, look forward to kaitaia (ipod) shuffles next time

sorry the pics are pretty boring i was too comfortable to get out of my chair

is there a thread? i didn't see one

gonna cruise round shelly bay way this avo, hopefully take some sweet pics

i saw all the cars out by te papa this morning there's some nice ones

i'll come along. why don't we drive somewhere and set off some fireworks after?

yeah engine starts def worth a try

basically the aim is to take something like this

and splice a stereo RCA or 3.5mm input into the preouts from the tape deck on the main circuit board. This should allow all the native functions i.e. volume, treble/bass and even Dolby NR (if equipped) to still werk as intended. Only drawback is that a tape needs to be loaded in the deck for the aux to function - but this could actually be more of a neat gimmick than an annoyance if executed correctly.

and of course the hurdle is figuring out where the preouts are, without breaking anything else in the process.

Easiest place to tap in is at the volume control, this is the start of the preamp. The centre pins on the twin potentiometers are usually the input. There normally are a couple of microswitches or sets of contacts operated by the tape mechanism which control the motor and the amp, you can tap into this and put a switch somewhere convenient to turn on the amp, or just throw in a head cleaning tape.

love it. whats the blue bike like to ride?

kei truck

i would so roll an ev. i live in wellington city and most of my trips are just around town. not good for my motor at all.

I really want to lose virginity in this!!!!

bought 1kg at pak n save last week for $8

washing soda.

Sweet...

My first bike was one of these styles

Also my first engine rebuild

and broke my first ankle falling off it.

was pretty sweet, but 2 gears - one too high and one too low.

brakes were fred flintstone style as shoes were worn out.

still in my old man's shed somewhere...

not much chance of any cop knowing the moped mudgard law, so probably not policed too strong.

Where the metal overlaps across the tray near the back, a little bit of that strip near the front of the tray and down the back and bottom of the front wheel arches. Mostly surface rust apart from that.

I just sprayed the underside with chain bar oil and have urethane to do the tray. Scored a rollbar for it too.
