this has me unbelievably amped for my 125 conversion, vid of scary grass antics please..

that windscreen banner is pretty sweet, shame the mods say no to them , maybe when the site gets its redesign we may have a new logo and banners may be on the cards/dreams. sweet car though, should be alot of fun

so keen to see how this performs, my v50 will be getting the same treatment in the near future. loving the style here, definitely needs a lower profile seat and smaller bars like you say.

that's a decent idea actually

i also notice noone said get a solid shaft, GET A SOLID SHAFT

it really is a wonder that Christchurch hasn't descended into vigilante justice with all the crime that happens. have you rang around van wreckers and places that buy and sell vans and commercial vehicles?

just make sure they are clean and give them a light sand to give the paint something to key into. also use a decent quality hard wearing paint because wheels take a beating/matte black is easy to touch up, meh

had all the glass out, tints are fairly nice now and nothing at all to complain about for a total of 5 bucks and a few hours. painted a couple of the frame parts while they were out too. nicely tie in with the whole blue and black theme im running with

grabbed a roll of 35% tint from mutiny for a 5ver and had a go at tinting my windows today, came out aright, not perfect, but good enough for me to roll with. and ive decided in time ill be getting it done professionally. but i think it suits the light tint and it should hopefully keen inside temps down a bit.

that lush bench seat looks like the go, if you want it to look more like a couch then just run some fabric from the seats to the floor and attach with velcro.

ive done a few seat installs, used decent angle or flat steel and kept it tidy, and sprayed it black to match. never even noticed

would be cheaper to get stock bench seat reupholstered like a couch wouldnt it?

Its highly likely you just need to sand the terminals, or sometimes on my car, there is a plug inside the bumper that sometimes comes undone. if worst comes to worst its not hard to power them off the tail light loom or something.

whats the timing like? you shouldn't be getting ignition on the other side of the valved at all, the car should at the very least splutter or something with the screws tuned wrong. though in saying that, i did too ONCE get a flame poke out the top of my 32/36. not sure why (ive fine tuned the timing since them so maybe that), but its the reason i dont run foam filters, fire hazard at best... edit, ive fixed a lot of motorbike engines by starting the engine with engine start and then revving it for a bit and just running fuel through the whole lot, i can get a nice base tune on it and it starts quite easily afterwards for fine tuning. just don't start the engine on engine start all the time cause it'll only cause damage

i agree, multi old-car-club track day would be mean

i was pretty certain that gear physically attached to the vehicle ie. your stereo equp. was covered under car insurance and things like phones or laptops, that arent attached are contents?

everything ive read says r1 carbs, so i figure do it right and do it once,

i possibly have the opportunity to buy some 32mm bike carbs for cheap, will these be too small for a 2000cc engine? im thinking yes. also does anyone know what size r1 carbs are?

current colour looks terrible to be honest... doesn't suit the car what so ever, looks like its trying to be an r32 gts.. titanium pearl will look a million times better.

picked up a can of nice metallic blue hammer finish paint for the cam cover. engine bay still needs A LOT of tidying though. Ive also finally decided on a carb setup for the future, the weber 32/36 runs extremely well so no rush, but ill be powering this with bike carbs, likely Yamaha r1', should be able to have a bit of fun there.

nah i mean a 2 plates, one at each end, going from top to bottom, welded to the connecting tubes. that will lock it up. ah yeah, sweet as, talking about the same concept but yes, an important addition.

you're in christchurch?! i must see this sometime when its all done!

^ extremely good point, its definitely going to try and straighten itself out. but i think plates on the end would be stronger, if its top and bottom, its a square that can fairly easily skew out too,
