Bigfoot wanted a pic of the trigger wheel setup.

Took the Mitsi to Cars and Coffee yesterday. It was a huge event and I heard they had to stop cars coming in after 9:30am. I got in slightly before that. Didn’t take any pics there. But stopped into Bunnings later.

Yep, I'll take a photo when I'm back home this weekend. It mounts off the block and AC bracket/mount.

Umm, 13 years later…. I put some stickers on Karl’s/BDA780 3d printed caps.

Someone help me make some AC lines please.

And while not being a massive fan of AliExpress/Temu, these RalliArt matts are better than what was in there before.

I always wanted a blue stitched steering wheel. So I got this Tanida/Narita Dogfight wheel.

I need to re-do the paint pen on the new adjustable cam wheel. Was adjusted on the dyno. Cam wheel made by a chap in Hamilton, Brett Campbell.

Yes, its been a while. In the 8 years its taken me to update the thread, the car gets used. But its always lacked power at the top of the rev range. Almost like the cam is a tooth or two out. or restricted somewhere. Usable torque and power down low, but runs out of puff up top. So that prompted me to get adjustable cam wheel and try and sort the issue. Since putting the new cam wheel on its running way better than ever. Gav at HPR in Hamilton did an amazing job on the tune. Tim at TTT also did a great work fabricating a new pickup bracket for the crank angle sensor. When I get a chance I will take some more pics and update the thread. Was good to catchup with Fuel/Phil, recently. I've been borrowing his front hubs for 15 years. I managed to get some 5 stud hubs off a Chrysler Conquest out of the States. So gave those to Fuel. Just need to sort new AC lines and I'll be happy. I might look at re upholstering the seats at some point too.

Long time no update. But the short story is: The headgasket blew out between cylinders two and three. Taylor Automotive gave the motor a freshen up with new rings, bearings etc. While it was apart, I got the cam re-ground. Once back together it ran like a sack. Dyno tune highlighted there was a restriction in either the intake or exhaust. So I’ve popped a larger intercooler in there. Plus a free-er flowing exhaust. There’s now an adjustable cam pulley on the end of the cam. So my old trigger wheel (was on the end of the cam) is now on the end of the crank (where it should be). Adjustable boost switch installed. Now running 16psi. Another dyno session. And I can confirm it’s running better than it ever has. pic for attention.

Do we have a OS friendly air conditioning dude in Auckland? In my pursuit of power (lol), I have had to remove my air conditioning lines to make way for a bigger intercooler. The old condenser was a bit munted, so that has also been changed for a new unit, along with a new drier. So all I need is a few new lines made up, unit oiled and gassed. Any suggestions?

I might head along to the start of this, on the Lambretta. Hopefully you'll turn a blind eye to the 'under 250cc' rule.

You need a long stroke crank, an upgear, short 4th gear, cylinder kit, etc etc. The guys at Retro know what cylinder kit will work best for you. They order from SIP every week or so. Yeah, drag day was good. my best was a 18.8 at 66mph. not bad considering my clutch was slipping. And the scoot had sat in the shed for a year. I didnt even put fresh gas in. lewl.
