  1. I think gsxr1000 and busa itbs are 48mm at throttle plate You might find Ducati around that size but you need 2 sets Early fuel injected crf450r had a 50mm throttle body
  2. Is steelie gears still going He has always been rasonable priced Mind you last time I used him 10 years ago he was getting grumpy and time frame was a week late.
  3. I'm real happy with my off road camping set up now I decided against dragging a trailer around off road can get more places with just a wagon too. Removing dirt bike setting awning and tent takes10 min,15 min to pack up everything so not a major for overnight stops. 12v system will do 4 days running fridge and lighting if staying longer ill set up solar blanket,basic gas cartridge twin burner for cooking and a jet boiler for a cuppa. Rear draw system keeps everything organised. Don't have to pay extra for length on ferry crossing Diesel v8 doesn't even notice the extra weight,truck telling me I'm using extra 1-1.5 litres per 100km compared to normal and dont have to do reduce towing speed on open road
  4. Mate I sold this to found the problem Luckily spring broke further towards the bottom or engine would of been not worth fixing. It's bit wierd that this happened there not a high revving engine and it's been serviced it whole life, even the guy at vw told my mate they rarely sell them She's running sweet now and he done a carbon clean while he was there. He tosing up between selling it or keeping it now
  5. This guy has some good vids on basics bike setup and riding techniques to practice
  6. Got offered some money for this as is from a mate so I took it Was going to take the head off and have a look,4 months later still havent touched it
  7. Mate come over with scope. Piston and cylinder is sweet Took rocker cover off and one inlet valve has more play than the rest,thinking burnt valve or carbon build up stopping valve from seating properly.
  8. If anyone keen on a tidy nz new vw gti that sounds like a air cooled 1200 I'm open to offers Do 6r/pirelli/s3 engine swap remap and 5th gear burn outs
  9. Went for a hoon in a isf 6 months ago and have been checking them out ever since considered a m135i but got talked out of that by couple of people in the know. Toyota fan boy at heart and dig v8 motors Vw is a fun sweet handling fwd car to drive when going sweet thou
  10. Gona borrow one of those scopes in the weekend check cylinder and top of piston and valves then do that next if it doesn't look toast
  11. Just spent a hour on this Didn't get the outcome I was after no compression on cylinder one! Think I'll $1 reserve it and move on
  12. Had this just over a year now and it's given me it first issue. Sounds like it's running on 3 Did a scan and it's telling multi cylinder mis fire Had a spare coil pack and original plugs so did a bit of investigating couldn't sort it. I'll wait for my mate to get back from holidays he got 4 confirmed good coil packs before I start buying bits that might not fix it
  13. I go riding in the dunes with a few of these things They tend to nose dive when jumped so try and keep accelerator consistent off the lip of the jump and in the air don't just button off
  14. Actually ive heard the opposite Mates wife is cooperate for a oil company She told me 98 is all same base fuel then different oil companies add there additives at wiri(Auckland). She did say something like npd use 95 as there base fuel and the additives boost it to 100,don't know how true it is but she has no reason to lie to me about it
  15. I did do a tank of 100 npd Was before I did decat thou I try that next time,be interesting to see if light stays off.
  16. Not sure Can't feel decrease in performance and it's not a race car just a vw hatchback
  17. So this has the spacer thing on the rear cat sensor that came with the miltek exhaust,but the engine light(cat converter sensor)been on the whole time and I have only run it on Mobil or BP 98. Put some gull 98 in the other week and the engine light self cleared about 10min after refueling and hasn't been back since
  18. Took it for a hoon in the weekend on some b roads Im happy with the wheel offset/width tyre size ride height combo I ended up with Not to menacing on bumpy roads
  19. Yeah got radio sorted Pretty normal for these to need carbon clean around the valves now and again,I might do it before I sell or I might not.
  20. I've been tempted by a less reliable German car so probably won't go through with tune because doesn't really ad value to it.
  21. Did the plugs couple months ago no oil in there. Car doesn't leak oil it just burns a little and stores the rest in the head by the intake valves #fsi life. Cars still runs and drives great thou.
  22. Can't be a mk5/6 gti then would need more top ups
