10Speed

he's added about 5k to the price, so I am sure there is some negotiating room (though he has also refurb'ed the front bumper, which was starting to show some wear after a cheap repair from the Pukekohe incident)

more power than the 350z and worse brakes and handling 6l, 6spd manual apparently used 14l per 100km

370z too rich for my blood - maybe in 4 years time... stands by for flaming...

traded this car away today...

it's the taper (presuming those have a taper) that holds the flywheel on the crank, the key is just for positioning... I removed the key from my BSA no troubles after 200 miles... however setting the timing 'blind' can be a pain in the arse

most auto spec led's probably won't run so happy at 6v... when I converted my bikes to LED lighting I convert to 12v + dc regulator/rectifier... and even then on one of them with only a 10w lighting coil I still get a pretty obvious strobe at idle via the headlight... I converted my sealed 6v to 12v tower led with jb weld a while ago...

sure you know the place

what is that in the background of the photos?

re:hookworms whoever comes and gets them is welcome to them - I am even out in West Auckland most weekends these days...

I have a set of hookworms that I can't give away

that was my plan... but the painter I spoke to thought it would quite possibly leave a furry edge, its a pretty tight gap... maybe I can find a sheet of .5mm plastic though

geez I'm sick of posting trivial updates... and it's looking like a super tricky job (mostly the masking) to paint the centers cream - will ponder some more...

flogging off more HTC Snaps?

cream will be painted on (hopefully this weekend) they can only really powder coat one colour... don't think he's a member on here - though he has a couple of old school cars and he's known by a few guys on here...

the powdercoater says 'Hi' (cheers HPC)

geez that's an old pic...

I usually use the ally tape around leaky joints on its own... seems to hold on fine... btw what size is that carb? looks massive

my beetle cert only has the widths of the rims on it... guess I got lucky and have a few options in the future if I need...

what time do you guys head out? keen for a look-see

and he couldn't even drive a manual when he started

change to a rubber friction drive on your starter and hold it on the flywheel instead? probably depends on how much compression these little engines have...

and maybe get one of these while you're at it?

if you havn't already ordered you should consider some of this guys dropped spring plates... they correct the toe in issues that will be causing you to chew through rears... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... 51fd4112f0
