DB8-TypeR

Those are my old wheels! Wondered where they had ended up

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

Registering something scratchbuilt as a moped isnt really the issue, its what happens when you get pulled over on a clearly scratchbuilt thing with moped rego that will be where you come unstuck

A lot of panel beaters seem to do it, I had some stuff done at one of the local generic workshops here, held up very well. Ive had a crack at it and its quite tricky to get to look good

Fuck that Whistlin Diesel guy is a retard

But is he really? Makes large sums of money by having fun and putting on a persona. Specifically buys vehicles to destroy that he knows will create controversy/conversation/anger in foamers

If I had 20k and HAD to buy a brand new car it'd probably be something like this

Probably last choice would be a MG

Got our vitz with 100,000kms,sold 40,000kms later and no issues with CVT. 

I think the early Nissan and Honda ones (late 90s early 00s) had common issues but newer ones seem better. Better than VW DCT transmissions anyway

CVT is fine in a small city car, excellent even. Our old vitz could essentially idle around town at less than 1500rpm and use next to no fuel.

My mum just got a brand new Kia Stonic, I think it was $25k. Very nice little car for a old lady

Mazda 3/Toyota Corolla or anything that size would do it, most of them have tow capacity around 600kg unbraked

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

Swoon

I never noticed, but EZ90 is offroad only, it doesnt have any lights

I've had Kumho KU25 on my ITR, they were comparable to the Goodyear gsd3 I had prior but nothing particularly special. 

Did a track day on them and they handled fine, but certainly more suited to the road. 

One benefit is that they seem to last ages

Gotta use 2 part urethane clear, if done properly it will last forever.

Yep it was, debeer 2k clear same as what the rest of the car was done in when we got the Toyota paint fixed up. Rest of the paint was sweet just the headlights failed

man, big scoots would be great for commuting, room for storage, reasonably out of the weather, fairly skinny for lane splitting, luxo seating position

And some have heated seats. If I had to go back to doing 60kms a day instead of 5km then id for sure upgrade 50cc scoot to large scoot. 

What about a large scooter? Sure doesn't necessarily look cool but seem to offer the wind protection, size, price etc

Could at least be a cheapish option while you get your full and can get anything 

We had the wife's old Vitz headlights clear coated but it only lasted 2 years before that all pealed and looked shit as well

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

Not quite Kei, but quite cool

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