Sometimes they do keep it closed to 4wds during the Summer if the track is quite badly damaged. I imagine that after this coming winter it could remain closed for quite a while because of all the slips.

A while ago I took part in a track clearing there (there's a group called friends of the 42 traverse that do these) and I popped in to the start to look at the track the day before we were doing the clearing and met a not-so-friendly DOC ranger on the road in. He gave me a bit of a bollocking, saying that we were going to fuck the track with our mud tyres etc (even though he'd just come out with a side by side with fucking tractor grips lol). According to him they don't block it off or anything when its closed to 4wds because they still need to be able to get bikes, horses and side by sides through... I feel like they'd be better off just closing it to all motorised vehicles during winter and putting up a horse jump at each end haha

/off topic sorry

Hey I'm gonna be there with a Hawkswood Classics trade stall so that's reason enough for everyone to come along right?

Right?

Worth big bucks if it’s a genuine one

It is genuine

Wow its embarrassing how long it has been since the last update

This car has been in and out of various storage places, but is finally somewhere that I can actually work on it inside. I made an effort to clean up all the shit around the various cars in the shed so I could rearrange things and have this by the door.

A couple of years ago I managed to get this running, but it was misfiring and being a general fuck about it. But last weekend I got stuck back into it and made an effort to get it working. I went along with a big bag of bits from my work that I was potentially going to use, but only ended up using the push button starter, as the dash wiring is still a big mess on the floor.

My $50 fuel pump which I thought had fucked itself magically worked after a two year rest, so I chucked some fuel in a coffee tin, switched the ignition on and turned the thing over. After a little while I realised the two wires had come off the coil, so I put those back on and it started up like a dream. Once it was warm it was happy as to idle and rev.

The motor seems ok, a bit smokey and rattly but that's to be expected. I still have to give it a proper oil change at some point.

Next step is to get the car driving. The front calipers were rebuilt a few years ago, so I fitted those up on the weekend. It also has new master cylinders, but I'm guessing the clutch slave will need replacing. I just need to figure out if its the Toyota one or not. Then I can bleed up the brakes and clutch and hopefully it should be able to roll under its own power!

Although I should probably reassemble the dash first to avoid any electrical fires...

I'm hoping to get a video of the car running on here soon.

I have a complete(ish) car I might be interested in selling. Has a really good interior, body is tired and I managed to blow a hole in the diff so the motor and trans is out of the car (its Auto btw). Let me know if you're interested

A lovely '72 911. The owner let me sit in it

 

Did the owner then try to get you to sit on them?

If you ever want to sell this let me know... Or if anyone sees one for sale hit me up. My Dad had one when he was young so it would be cool if I could find one now and tidy it up for him as a surprise!

Well give them the option and if they are keen then tell them to hit me up

Would my Mini work? They can chuck some boxes on the roof rack and drive off into the sunset

Not oldschool but awfully funny! 

Somewhere north of Auckland is a crowd full of dead people 

 

My parents were first on the scene to this, it happened right outside where Dad is living atm

Poor old guy fell asleep or something and his car kissed a bridge.

Must have mistaken it for a crowd

MAYTE

You could come late to my party any time with hookups like that

Does anyone know where I'd likely be able to get a couple of tyres this size? Basically looking for the cheapest possible. I know I can get some from AliSexpress but I don't wanna wait that long

Yep that's me! We have the lucas 7" sealed beam halogen lamps. They're the original curved front type. Give me a shout if you want to know more

Bugger, I'll be gettin' dirty in Maramarua forest

I also hear there's a rallysprint in the forest too

M8, this lived a few houses down from my place. I was pining over it hard and wanted my mate to buy it but he's a pussy

/cool story

I was there, but I was hiding in my non oldschool rally car

Thanks guys

Does SK stand for anything? Or is the wheel maker literally just called SK?

I've searched that part number in the past and haven't found anything. Can;t even find anything on SK tbh

Hmm, it is very similar to those D-Sturms...

Gonna try get a better photo tomorrow while clearing the new garage out.

Also they aren't for sale, they're going to hold the rally tyres on my new rally car

I would be semi-keen to by them if they are for sale tbh.

Piss off you hawker, isn't one set of my wheels enough?

Thanks for the help so far guys I'll see if I can grab some more photos.

So these wheels came with my most recent purchase, and I just wanted to know what brand they are?

From the markings they look to be some kind of Jap wheels, they're 6x14 and 4x100 if that makes it any easier

Fanks guyss

Oh also sorry for potatophoto

You could try ByGone Autos on the shore. Give Mal a call on 09 4833991. He'd probably be happy to teach you a bit too. Plus I can sell you parts if you need them haha
