  1. Yeah by that reserve is where I live, the council isn't exactly pro-develoment, or even maintenance of the existing trail network, any working bees get tied up in red tape so it was pretty surprising. Some grumbles on the community Facebook page, but more positive/jealous comments than negative ones. The way you came down is owned by the Griffin's (of Griffin biscuits) and they're amazing in term of access and trail building, fortnightly craft beer and bbq working bees, if we end out bringing the Moped Melee back to the top of the south we'll have to seek out access to at least the Silvan Steps, although Golden Bay is looking like a sweet future destination too. Did you get up Mt Patriarch when you were in Marlborough?
  2. I was impressed someone managed to organise access into Kingsland/Silvan as it's pretty strictly no motorised public access in the 10 years I've lived next to Easby Park. The roar as the whole group wound up the hill was sweet!
  3. https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=162&topicid=258597 Is there anyway of checking if this recall has been done to it?
  4. My folks owned a base spec 86 from new having ordered and paid a deposit before there were any in the country. They owned it for ~10 years and only lost just over $10K on it. One upgrade from basic yours will have will be the digital readout for the speedo? Basic spec analogue speedo felt tricky to keep to 50km/h without cruise control.
  5. I managed it so it must be easy, the electronics issues addressed in that thread are pretty simple to resolve. This was EFI sohc zc to dohc zc.
  6. Does the DOHC ZC go into these? Sounded great in my Beagle...
  7. Sorry that should have been in the first post, auto... caravan.
  8. Is there a good online catalogue for coil springs? Something I can chuck OD, wire thickness, and unloaded length into and find what my options are?
  9. You know that the next part of this cycle is, I buy this one off Alex when one the right colour comes up, then I sell it to you when I realise I walk to work 99% of the time.
  10. Will you end out towing the caravan with it? If I could pull this off I'd be a very happy chap...
  11. I think I'm not too bad, but probably far from perfect! Let me know if you have specific issues with it and I can make 'em again.
  12. Self promotion if you find the guy above a bit long winded...
  13. Wasn't really a small bike promo - more an illustration of how speed differences with bikes don't matter too much at the end of the day. People are always pretty good at getting you forgotten off the guest list if your company isn't worth the wait...
  14. Depends on who you're riding with. The biggest issue is that you have a super capable bike. I rode on bikes as little as Suzuki RMX 50s with KTM 640s when I was younger. I think in Nelson anyway people were just stoked to be out for the day. Provided you don't fuck around being picky about what to have for lunch, it doesn't really matter. Finally, you take sweet photos, even if you were making the group take 40% longer at each stage. If there's a pretty record of the day out I'd be surprised if there's any shade being thrown your way.
  15. Mine doesn't. Ie I could flick it off outside every day without issue. I guess you're going to run it through an inverter? If you had a rough idea when it will be generating enough power each day you could switch it on/off with one of these? https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMrwGpl
  16. I wanted a wireless reversing camera/rear vision mirror for the caravan. This came up well priced at Supercheap Auto, with good reviews on Amazon for the same thing. Unboxed and it has all of the cables, way more than could be stashed in the numberplate light housing so made this spacer/cable housing from PETG. https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/sca-sca-wireless-reversing-camera-4.3/678614.html
  17. The L298Ns are an H bridge controller so they switch the polarity for you. No idea about any of the other questions as I've not used them!
  18. I don't know, I'd probably have to ride them back to back to feel the difference. The ground clearance is the biggest obvious difference. I can only just flat foot it with both feet and I'm fairly lanky so it must make make quite the change.
  19. Can confirm, with a disc front end, even better! $300 of groceries on-board here...
  20. The fizz for RHD stuff in the US is impressive. This was at an auction in Florida earlier in the year. Apparently a 1.0L, must have been a 10A, didn't check the door cards...
  21. Definitely ER indicators. Local Suzuki dealer had them for $10/pair for years after keeping them from all the farm bikes. I guess supplies must be drying up by now.
  22. Shitchea, if Technology is a subject at your school you should try and make it in class. I know the teacher will be sick of fire pokers/toolboxes...
  23. Just been googling https://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=Ngt954 I wonder how close 1NZ are to the 3SZ in these? I saw this listing you may be interested in: 2011 Toyota Townace Liteace https://www.trademe.co.nz/4958079464
  24. I love that project, but this style of thing is arguably even more elegant.
  25. What a tease, I'll be keen to see how this goes towing the caravan...
