Willdat?

I think your email was particularly polite - if it was a $500 car you might just have to suck it up and move on. However, as you say it was sold as a 'Factory 12A Turbo' which it quite clearly was not. Reading between the lines he knew that he was misrepresenting the car. I think organising and paying for cert is the very least he can do. I would give him a call, and ask him about the specific wording of the Trademe advert. People generally find it harder to lie on the phone, better still face to face. Make effective use of the pregnant pause and ask him what he plans to do to sort this out.

Tired of the V6 already?! Might be little long for a multipla too...

I'm not sure if Lloyd from toyspeed is on oldschool but he is a top bloke - unfortunately I have no contact details. Except he worked at http://www.citymech.co.nz/ when I used to live in Dunedin. Fuck that's a lingling post - sorry!

IT'S ALIVE! Stoked that I actually diagnosed this correctly (for once). I see what you did there... Take her shopping...? "Those shoes really bring out your eyes..." or something.

Mrs wanted new shoes meant I could get stator sooner...arrived today, there's something about boxed NOS. I'm hoping I'll get it fitted tonight...

280se by chance? If so looked like a sharp price

I've got a spare pair with disc/forks/calliper even I think... X7s are awesome, the first 250 to do a genuine 100mph I believe

10 weeks later I managed half an hour in the shed. Stator is shot -> NOS from uk is ~$300 so I'll save some pocket money and get it here. May even manage to ride it to Hanmer

I'd own one, this looks like a very tidy base, well played!

Ha, I had a student point that out to me last week, another boy in the same class is restoring a Commer truck. Semi-rural schools fo-life!

First post in a week... To keep the Han-pine maintained. I'm just bottling a porter that should be about perfect come the end of August.

My dad owned a 1977 one of these from 79- 84. By 1984 the replacement guards he'd installed in 1980 had rusted completely through again! If it has survived this long it must be a good 'un

Registered and paid for me + 1. Unfortunately can't get time off so will be heading down after work (but being teachers that means we should still be in Hanmer well before 6)

Fri/Sat better for me...but I am a lowly passenger!

I'd make whenever suit but 31st/1st is grand, will get a ride with/meet Sam then! New car time for me is looking like 2014...

Oh the issue is that I'm 6ft 2". A lower seat will decrease legroom even further than I already have by fitting clip ons. The comical aspect is my knees being higher than my elbows!

Dent is clip ons related, once I've got steering stops sorted I may fix tank...but I should get it going first!

The downside of being a teacher is being keen on 'the rules'!

So if I got rid of my pillion seat it'd be a winner For future reference http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof/motorcycles

Is it a wof issue? I think my DR-Z400 needed pillion pegs as it had a pillion seat or I could be making that up....

Ah yes, a brat seat makes the ergonomics of an already small bike a little bit too comical/uncomfortable for me...

No testing done yet, just trying one thing at a time until I get it sorted. I was dopey enough to pay a bike shop to sort a 1987 Suzuki DR250S a few years ago, I pulled the pin at $5500 invested with it still not running... I'm going to delve into the workshop manual tonight and have a read up...quite stoked that I have 4 spare stators so hopefully there's a good one amongst them. X7s are choice and actually pretty damn quick! I'm not too sure what to do with the tail section as I want to keep my pillion seat...feel free to post inspiration!

As it looks as of yesterday!

New CDI = still no spark. I should know better than to expect Suzuki electrical gremlins to go away on the second attempt at a fix...
