Check what TGP hoses are worth, from memory not bad. If available anyway. edit: amayama doesn't look bad, $14US for a front, picked random KP so YMMV.

Whip the wheel off and put your eyeballs on it.
-
Butler Auto probably has what you need, just have to go through the online shop and check all the listings for something that suits. Worked for me anyway, they seemed to have every combo in every size.

Whoever does the VIN stuff can take it off and document can't they? Then refit when all finished. Not sure what that costs / if anything, but could remove future you problems. At least a motorbike is easy to cart in to get that done. Would really piss in your cereal if you fucked it while trying to remove it yourself. However unlikely. At least if they fuck it, it's by the book so should be sweet. /edit more posts loaded after this, tortron covered my post.

I can't really give you the right answer to that. I'm not sure of the rules of using bumpstops that aren't OEM. If you never plan to run the factory bumpstops as they are again, trim them and make them look factory and hope for the best. Mine are trimmed and tapered but are also covered by my cert so different story. But one option is free and the other involves buying non OEM units. So i'd go with free and hope for the best. As as been mentioned, not legal without cert, but purely posting an opinion not a written guarantee it's a good idea in your case lol. If the factory ones fit currently you could just put them back in for check then do as you wish after. I'm not sure how picky they will be, unless it's low enough that factory bumpstops have the ute resting on them.

https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Suspension_Systems.pdf Try that link, has a bit of info for your stuff. When you say 10mm, is that bumpstop size? If so that won't fly, I think they had a newsletter that featured super short "stops" that aren't actually designed for replacing tapered / dampening bumpstops.
-
I wouldn't cert a car for the sake of bumpstops. Once certed, you're stuck with those wheels, cert width tyres, that height give or take 5%, along with most other parts not able to be changed. How much suspension travel do you have now? Like how much can the wheels droop if you jack the chassis. How much does the suspension compress when fully loaded. Rear of my car has 60mm of compression along. Looking at your project pics, is there a void above the wheels for them to compress into? Or if you loaded it up it would sit on the cut bumpstops straight away.
-
Be interesting to know if they tested the tacho etc. Is the signal from the engine known good? Digital dash is so sweet!
-
Different sidewall strength / stiffness would be part of it i'd say. Best to call up tyre manufacturers and ask if you need to know proper though.
-
Put it back to stock and live happily ever after. You'd potentially find that it can't even be certed as you have modified it anyway as you need to have a working suspension system with acceptable suspension travel to pass cert.

Obscuring visibility out of windscreen, what are the WOF requirements.
Bling replied to flyingbrick's topic in Tech Talk
Purely for a looks point of view, second is less in your face / better vision. I'd just wonder where the device goes in image two if the pillar bag goes off. Unless it's some povo vehicle without them / probably standard now. Not sure i'd go to war over it, neither really obstruct the view. If they do might just need a booster cushion Used to have my GPS unit / dashcam on middle line of screen similar to first image. Seating position was quite high though so never obstructed my view. That being said, I would have to remove them for WOF. But the dashcam saved me a few times so a hassle worth doing. -
My urethane tube was dried up and the plumbers stuff didn't work, like not even a little. Quite surprising but that's plastic for you.
-
Do you recall the type of plastic your surround was? I assume all in that era would be the same deal. It's kick panels so seems the same as surround. I'll check on the backside when I get a chance as it likely says. I know the plastics will be different as I'm gluing PLA to it. I'll try a couple of glues if J-B can't handle it. But may just end up joining them with small brackets melted into each part as the join. Cheers.
-
Sweet cheers, will have a browse.
-
Good glue options for sticking plastics to old car interior plastics? Think 80's Toyota plastics. My epoxy clear glue dried out so before buying something new, keen to see if people have good experiences with certain products.

Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread

Your guitars are a bit bigger than the ones I've been making lol. Approx 220mm lengths for guitar / star mad toddler. -

At this point i'd probably just kill it with fire. What the actual fuck.
-
Do you drain it to 0% often? That won't help it's lifespan as they don't like that. That's if 0% is actually flat anyway. Could also come down to weight of rider and speed / load on the thing. Full nang probably less efficient so drain quicker.
-
Yeah pretty cheap for the area covered. Fit my budget anyway. I'll try pull finger in the next month or two and install some and report back.

I got 4sqm of this stuff, but on a roll: https://themarket.com/nz/p/20pcs-car-truck-vibration-sound-deadening-mat-2.7mm-butyl-rubber-sound-deadeners/5110-BD-32298?siq=e7bb167e-e77d-46c0-be72-ba2cb416728f&sii=5110BD-32298&mode=io I haven't got around to using it yet, but put a small piece on my hydraulic press beam to see how well it stuck. Seemed to do ok. Certainly won't be the best on the market sticky wise, but it's thick for the price. Going to do it in next few months if you're not in a hurry I can report back if it's good / dogshit. I got it to do floor / kick space areas not roof, and will probably give it a light heat gun action due to installing when it will be cold.

I use this on most things https://hylomar.com/en/universal-blue/ Can't say i've ever used copper coat on bolts like that. Not that say that you shouldn't, I just never have.

Checked junk mail? If not there, just try another email, got mine instantly last time. After I lost it on my PC somewhere...

Sounds like a Wayne question to me @h4nd
