Caught up with all the progress. Good work bud

Cool, i mean it's not even that bad, it's the bracket that holds the battery tray... I'm just more pissed ive had a clean wof for like 18 months then suddenly i have rust that is "structural and requires panelbeater". I'm definitely one for always asking the inspector about things that might require attention sooner rather than later (And yes, fixing them)

Failed on rust on my daily, and the WOF guy has put "Panel beater report required" in brackets, however chatting to a mate about it he said there was a another form im meant to get from the wof inspector if it indeed needs panelbeater sign off. Can anyone clarify if I can fix rust myself or i need said precious sign off?

+1 for Walker McCluskie. Peter has a mental B18cR powered Mini and is a GC (Y) tagged him on NZH for you

Had had words that the hardrace s13 engine mounts with the matching transmission mount is like $310 shipped, supposedly in stock in NZ

Can never go wrong with hardrace http://www.hardrace.com/Product_detail.asp?id=691

Very cool KK, keep up the good work (Y)

Chop it

Looks a bit low, certifier might not be happy with it.

Yea as long as the housings are designed for LED, then you can run LED

Got a old Japanese owners manual if you wanted it. You're the only person I know with a shuttle at the moment

Spose new points are feck all cost and last a decent 5-10k no worries

Y u no throw out points and go electronic ignition? After we got it in our mini, started pretty much first pop even in the cold, vtec may have even been slightly harder.

I always thought it'd be easier to put in like Accord suspension into shuttles to lift them. Same eye type etc and fork at front, except much longer. (Just need to swap top hats)

Yea think I used classic mini spares too, there's a few things on trademe too. There's also Phil Dean in upper hutt who repairs them, which is a wealth of knowledge. I got some 10" mini steelies from a MK4 if you want them Kelvin (free). I'm stealing the tyres though for the lawnmower

Do you put paint on it? I assume you didnt splash out on treated stuff?

Got a spare set of both pretty sure (Y) Front shocks could be a pain to replace, might have to look into replacing the hubs so you can remove the steering rack attachment from the shock. The rear shocks are "KYB - 343143 GR-2 Shock" but I haven't found a resource to swap the fronts.

What chu need

He wants 12000rpm for that CE experience (Constant Erection). Otherwise he could probably go for the city turbo motor or something, or liek I was investigating the L15 from the Honda Fit/Jazz RS

I don't think he completely knows yet, he's been offered some underpowered stuff that someone was going to put into an mx5, so could be a good place to start at least

I have a feeling mates 99.4% unlikely to use the 600cc beast (See: he's telling people he's likely to do EV swap) So plausible 600cc option, and you could possibly boost or something interdasting

Things recently happened as I remember them: 1) Wife gave birth to future slave labour option 2) Donated above green N600, finally out of the garage weekend just been. Hopefully the new owner will give it another lease for life. 3) N360 got it's brakes all redone, new rubber lines, new pads, master cylinder rebuilt, everything lubed up and nice. Still have sponginess in pedal, need a vac bleeder I reckon 4) N360 took a little visit to Honda Wellington dealership as part of a promo. Car got a decent wash, polish etc. Now that garage is a little more empty, not that I have any time still, I still have a few things I can work on, still need to find door and window rubber seals and bleed brakes etc. I suppose might have to wait for Spring at this rate...

I have painted a total of zero cars and taking forever aligns with my current build plans

While you repaint your one, wanna give mine a little spruce up?
