  1. Yeah impellor and wear ring clearance is a big thing with jet units, too much clearance and you get cavitation. Dont get thrust from bubbles
  2. Sweet ute man, not many xtra cabs around. Whats the swaybar upgrade from? Would be a good upgrade for my one too.
  3. Let me know when your cumming thru my hood. Il bring the PW80 down the intersection and do a burnout as you all go past
  4. Man I cant wait for vids of this hooning round mangrove shallows
  5. Looking at the parts diagrams for MA61 vs MX73 they look different Yowzer http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/us/1985/celica/ma61l-blmqfk/4_252430_002_/powertrain-chassis/4804_rear-spring-shock-absorber#48805 http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/gr/1986/cressida/mx73r-xemgfn/5_311250_032_/powertrain-chassis/4804_rear-spring-shock-absorber
  6. Acquiring a roll of solder to do your squish band measuring trick at this moment
  7. Rinse and repeat mk3 Now with added head
  8. Bottom pic of the engine, peg for selecting gears has a nice blob of weld holding it onto the shaft that runs into the case when it should have a bolt on it to clamp it to the shaft.
  9. Splitting the case on that CT engine will be a cunt with the gear selector welded to the selector shaft
  10. This is a super handy website for cross checking part numbers sharol http://www.japan-parts.eu/
  11. Man watching this again I can appreciate how fast that “vx50” motor makes a st90
  12. Il rehome the GN if Lee? Has forgotten he bought it, @MopedNZ didn’t you rope him into coming along?
  13. Famous last words..... Was on my way 2 Ohope to kick off East Cape Ride when just before Edgecumbe it started to bog and die, clutched in and it stopped running. Whipped the exhaust off to be greeted with this sight again. (Interesting that it did almost 80kms of WOT before killing itself again which was the same kms it did when it killed the 1st BBK) AA roadside rescue/sharns thanks to @cletus and @RUNAMUCK got me to J5s place where I jumped on a loaner CT110 and delivered the post round the coast all weekend which was so sweet Whipped the head off at Johns to find a very chooched bore and piston plus a weird flame front burn mark on the combustion chamber, only getting complete burn on the front half of the head/same side as the exhaust port. 2T barry yarns have deducted that I cocked up the squish band when clearencing the head so the piston wouldnt hit it which is fucking with ignition turbulence so its not doing a complete burn- piston gets unevenly hot causing it to not be very round and digs itself into the bore causing the above. Cant do much except get myself in the dogbox by "spending more money on that bloody bike" so have a 3rd(and hopefully final) 70cc kit on the way from Germany plus found a 2nd hand un fucked with head in the UK which is also on its way via Youshop. Been going down the 2T rabbit hole on squish band setup so will actually measure it this time to get it right not just get a bit gungho on the dremel after a few Brianlownes and mexican cigarettes. In summary, 2 strokes are sweet when they are running but they dont like to run that much when I play with them
  14. Got parts on the way from Germany/UK so keen to get it back together then blow it up again....... or not blow up this time
  15. Il get over next weekend to collect the TS50 @johnnyfive and can bring the first aid kit back for @MaxPower
  16. Bringing the noise again next year? 2 ute loads maybe
  17. Such a vauge shit yarn of an article cobbled together with info from those who didnt want to provide it
