DB8-TypeR

If it is anything at all like a Honda gearbox then the sychros will thank you for using Honda MTF. Otherwise Liqui Moly Top Tec MTF 5200 is apparently equally as good

A hinged flat bar that closes across the front of the draws then can be unlatched and swung out of the way to allow draws to open could also work. Easy to leave out of the way when toolbox is in the workshop and it isnt required too

Arthurs Emporium will have some rope and anchor (as well as all other manner of stuff). Small boats are the best boats

Since it is essentially a EF Honda chassis then I assume it is the built in tail light seal leak feature that all EF's seem to have. Always liked these, look forward to your detailed process of bring it back to its former glory

D pillars are 4x6" speakers as well, and in my old one didn't even have any wires to them in the factory loom. Thanks nissan

Nah dont need any of the window writing, clean it all if you want. Theres a good list of all the documents you need to have on the NZTA website

I had one of these, it always used to leak around the drivers side rear window in the rain. No doubt has rusted away by now

I think I understand what you are explaining, basically that you will have 2x fuses supplying one device? A 5A fuse supplying a 2A fuse. There isnt anything wrong with that other that a bit OTT but due to the parts you have on hand why not.

Check the voltage across the battery with the car running, should be 13.8 - 14.2

1NZ seem to have a following in smallish jetboats in NZ, have seen a few around

Have you investigated as to if a Permatrim might aid the performance of the motor on a tinny?

Looks and sounds great, definitely a complete package that you have built

Why would changing panels require a cert?

That brings back memories, my parents had a 1986 model, manual, silver. Bought it ex demo or something, dealer refused to take a trade in on the mk3 cortina wagon it was replacing. They had it till 2001 or something, eventually ended its life in the hands of the kawerau dog club. Dad impounded it on night shift(he was a cop out there) after clocking it doing 160kph

I found installing the airbox first then filter then clamping was the easiest way. They do sound good though, not too loud

I have an ali one for my Dax. Bike isnt running yet but build quality seems good https://flic.kr/p/2htBH7y Oh I did breifly mount it on my other bike, it isnt quiet but is better than no muffler

I didn't sell it for much, $4600 or something. Did it pop up for sale? Apparently blew a headgasket after Damien sold it. And would have some rust requiring attention by now

This makes me miss my shuttle

I cant help but feel a front guard and a lower seat would improve this x1million. Or full fairings

Asked my sister in law who works at Taneatua petrol station if she remembered 40ish small bikes pass through. She wasnt working that day but got told all about it. Much wtf from the locals

Two tyres the same size make a good bit of difference

So a Dax update, have been slowly accumulating parts and then stripped it right down, got some more cracks in the frame welded up and began the painting process. Conveniently I was working night shift (no one else in the workshop) and we have a large oven that is meant for baking varnish onto electric motors Left it to sit for a while then started making it look like a bike again Still a long way to go, lots of little jobs like tidying up the original badges

Thanks to @Raizer I got some Honda Gyro front shocks (already shorter than spacy by 10mm) then shortened the shock a further 20mm. At this stage I havnt cut the spring, its just got more preload to make it stiffer. The rear still isnt lowered (apart from when I sit on it), but need to sort out a kick stand instead of center stand as it drags a bit much even at this height. Once Ive sorted that then should be able to get it a bit lower Pic from previous page for reference Other than that, still just using it daily to get to work and its going sweet. Knocking sound from previous post was loose bolts holding center of the rear wheels to the rim

Am still working on lowering it (too many projects), wont be that low so I can retain some ridability but will see what I can do. It developed a knocking sound from possibly the gear train today so hopefully nothing serious

Still using the Spacy as a daily (still not registered.....) and have got the Chaly running pretty good, 38 idle Jet, 82main and the needle one clip up from the bottom. Apart from being a bit obnoxiously loud its pretty good. And into the Dax, got a new seat and exhaust from webike, discarded the muffler that came with that and attached a Supertrapp Replica from aliexpress. Also have a 120/90-10 tyre on the back to check it was all going to fit. Chain will be a tight fit but hopefully ok
