Blenheim - have a geeze at a car for me
thegreatestben replied to thegreatestben's topic in South Island Region
I agree but that's why I ask cos I don't want to try and bother paying what its actually worth if its a shitter. It is manual and these are IRS unlike lx80. Lowest kms ive come across, generally better condition. Tow bar already. Worth it to me as its ideal for my use. -
Hey all Blenheimites. There's a LX90 Toyota Mark II for sale on trademe at a dealer in blenheim (Cars-2-go 32 main street). Looks in pretty good order for one of these bad boys but I was wondering if anyone would be keen to jump in and make sure it ain't a dog before I get too carried away. This is the beast: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1128795452 Being stinky 2l-te I'd appreciate checking the condition of the coolant and oil. These are pretty bullet proof but like any diesel doesn't like getting hot. Chur in advance. I just realised this is probably in the wrong section. Apologies mods please move

impact drivers/rattle guns - knowledge me up.
thegreatestben replied to sheepers's topic in Tech Talk
Yeah I have drill, impact driver, caulking gun, sabre saw, lamp and multi tool. There's a few tools they make now that I wouldn't mind. Also bought a ryobi pneumatic finish nailer recently which is great for the $200. Preferred to spend $400 on a compressor and the gun instead of just the 18v nailer. -

And the guys at the table next to us were way too fixated on watching me eat my steak when I finally got it like half an hour after everyone else. I donated the $20 to canteen -

I've got this one and I really like it, lasts forever on a 5ah battery and bonus of being 240v too. http://www.ryobi.co.nz/products/details/18v-one-hybrid-shoplight -

I think it's already been recommended but the AvE channel youtube has some fantastic tool reviews. Dude is merciless and buys new tools, takes them apart, gives you a pretty honest opinion and then puts them back together. Great humor too. -

Makita seem to have the biggest range of tools that can all use the same batteries. I don't have the need to spend tradesman dollars so I have gone with Ryobi one+ and find it excellent. Made by same company that makes Milwaukee. I have 2x 1.3ah batteries and 2x 5ah batteries, about 6 tools that use them. Probably all in for under $800. -

Or this model if you don't need such a big sucker. http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/am-en/products/tools/Iqv-cordless-tools/iqv20/w5152 Guess it'd be nice to have other tools that use the batteries in which case I'd look at the makita too probably. -

Ingersoll rand 20v if you want top end. Amazed at the size of bolts that could crack. Just look at it: -

Kinda sounds like you're describing my carib. The important thing is looks good and makes the right noises. -

Group Steam Cleaner Hire - Anyone Keen?
thegreatestben replied to Snoozin's topic in Upper North Island Region
Should go to a truck workshop and offer to buy the service boys 4x doz or something and a bit of diesel for the cleaner to use their wash bay. -

Personally I'd just be stoked to have a fezza in the first instance. -
The Night Rider's 1986 Toyota MR-2 AW11 - Discussion
thegreatestben replied to The Night Rider's topic in Project Discussion
I always enjoyed mine looking fairly stock, aside from low; practically speaking, good fitting wheels and tyres. One of the best things about these is the fun of wolf in sheeps clothing, having naughty thoughts of a 2grfe powered one. -

Love my adubs, a true foamer will always spot a pre facelift though -
Nice! Agree this is a sweet car and Rhys is a thoroughly nice chap. I couldn't believe how fast he could make this go around manfield!

I bought a china special CDI like that for a china special scooter and it was shithouse. Went back to stock CDI, all problems sorted. Might be worth a go if you have another CDI.

help needed - ae86/aw11 steering rack dimensions
thegreatestben replied to Rhyscar's topic in Tech Talk
I wasn't sure if the racks themselves swap over but I know the Quaife quick rack kit fits both the AW11 & the AE86. -
Replacement brake rotors drilled slotted nothing whats good?
thegreatestben replied to Muncie's topic in Tech Talk
I am told one of the functions of slots/holes is the allow air/gas to escape from between the surfaces to maximise pad contact/coefficient of friction. When hot pad is being mashed they release gases which hold the pad off the surface. I could be wrong but it makes sense in my head. Fuck fully skimmed over Cletus saying this already.
