Valiant

%100 true. We had a set of workshop steel wheels and plastic steering wheel to put on them so the transporter driver could pick them up. I remember giving one car back to it's owner on Friday afternoon and it being back minus wheels Momo bits and body kit on Monday morning. Poor bugger. It's nice to see one again, yours looks tidy. Could you get a Green Radisich Telstar? or was that just Eurosport ones? A Eurosport with reground cams and a set of headers used to come into the workshop. It went very well!

I have fond memories of replacing Power Beat batteries, fitting new wheels, tyres, steering wheels, and tightening the the gear lever grub screws. There were a few Radisich Mazda Cronos's getting about Henderson in the late 90s.

Shuk Engineering will be able to cut you one if you can supply them something to copy the shape off.

Because they were.

Well done! I wonder how the angle of the pivot affects the riding characteristics? I want to see you riding it once you've got it mastered.

Yes they are great. I couldn't say which one I like best, they are all cool, neat stories, and beautiful BSA parts.

The building in this photo is still standing. I drive past it from time to time. It's abandoned, and in a very poor state of repair. The building next to it has been recently demolished so it seemed like a good idea to get some photos before it gets pulled down. It was a fucking miserable day in Christchurch today but we still managed to get 8 Speedy Cycles together at the same time. One of them even belonged to one of the riders in the original photo. Here's some sweet old bike photos. PINE!

That's a lot of gearbox for the money.

Care to give me some idea of the cost of that R154? Good timing to turn a disaster into a success.

Awesome! I want a driving and wild skids/doughnuts video by this time next week! Great that you have done such a good job of it all, it's going to be superb.

Well done mate! How exciting. Does it fly/do good skids? Good timing, I was thinking yesterday that you were due an update.

Pinch any vacuum lines that look suspect at the intake manifold with a pair of pliers and see if the idle changes. Have a good listen around the intake manifold with a piece of vacuum line held up to your ear. Years ago I worked at a place that had a machine that pumped smoke into the intake when the engine wasn't running so you could see where the smoke leaked back out. It seemed like a good idea but I never saw it used to solve a problem.

You could cut the fire wall. I think you can remove the sway bar legally, check with who ever is going to cert it first. Chamberlains in town make custom sway bars, you could get one made with a big step in it to clear the pulley.

Can you, Easily move the motor back 25mm? Lower the sway bar? Remove the sway bar?

Shirt lifter?

Alfashark. Wow that's amazing! modern cars give incredible MPG. I have a shitty 1992 Sentra station wagon on dedicated LPG.. It does 530 km or so to a 53L tank, much better on a long trip. I drive it like it's stolen. Seems pretty economical for a $1200 car, LPG is $1.00l plus GST.

Tyres you say? What size?

Awesome. that's all I needed.

They look good! Burgundy is a very good colour choice. Care to tell me what dimensions your rims are? I'm guessing 7 inches wide with 3 1/2 inch backspace? Thanks.

MX5 engine? I came in here to post this.

Yeah it's much nicer since you stopped going Bart.

Wow this has come together nicely. I had a 2TG Celica a long time ago, it went OK too.

I really like that dyno sheet with the top tips at the bottom. It matches the car perfectly!

Do we need an outdoor power equipment day Don? I've got a couple of decent chainsaws and a Victa with a stuffed muffler to bring along.
