Mate those are all good - my brother has a Farr 1020 and has a genuine late 80's autohelm that just will not die. Obviously you don't use it when there is lots of load on the helm but we have done several non stop runs from AKL to the BOI on the autohelm in up to 20 knots of breeze and no drama so far.

I remember seeing your yacht around AKL in some regattas and races, nice boat.

Saw this mint fiat 124 sport on the way home this arvo. Not sure of he didn't quite close the door properly, or if it was a Friday afternoon wine-fuelled assembly

How good:

I borrowed the CEO's Audi Etron GT for an hour or so last week.

Holy shit that thing has some grunt.

Probably spoiled myself as that was my first EV driving experience

I think that car was up around Silverdale back in the day, was real tidy.

Awesome result - my 12yo daughter said "Is it for sale? Please buy it!" so I guess her tastes are improving - reformed Tesla enthusiast.

I like the fibreglass roof, I'd imagine it would be a bit heavier than an alloy one but better weather-tightness.

My old man restores quite a few old caravans and has got it down to a science now, he is also a self-containment inspector for NZMCA. Sing out if you have any questions.

I think he needs a hand.

He does bloody well driving a manual single-handed. Assembling a motor alone might be a bridge too far though.

So do you reckon it was a bad batch of cable or something?

Can you just put a drill on the flywheel or something?

@yoeddynz get cracking.

If it goes pear-shaped you can always order one from Warmoth or somewhere, complete with truss rod and frets. 1.5mm thickness will make no difference, I wouldn't be surprised if the factory fender ones vary by even more than that over the years. I really miss my tele, had a nice MIJ 72 custom reissue in black on black with a maple fretboard, was a lovely guitar. Sold it to pay rent when my daughter was little, single income life

That is awesome, tele style but with the arm contour like a strat? Does it have the belly contour as well? What neck will you use?

Excuse my carb ignorance, what does the spacer achieve? More torque? Or better atomization?

That'll be rowdy

Cool project!

What engine are you going to use? And why will it be a drill ported 12a with a 4 barrel?

Can't use a ramflow without a supertrap muffler anyway.

Awesome little tub My brother had a Ross 830 and a 930, now he has  Farr 1020.

That's impressive economy. My 2.4l CL9 accord averages 10.9! Probably because work is only 9km away so it never gets a chance to warm up properly. Looks great with the wheels and lower!

You know, if you added a second turbo the heat soak from the cross-over pipe would be a distant memory.

Also.... Methanol.

Man, the seats look so good, thank you THANK YOU for respecting the factory style interior. It is gonna be a sweet ride once it is done, can't wait to see it in person.

Yep - I have been dailying a 06 NZ new Accord Euro for about 5 years and it has been pretty good, done ~235k now. Have replaced the starter with a second hand one, and the high pressure PS line with a new one. Apart from that, just oil and filter every 10-15k.

It has heated leather seats and all the bells and whistles.
