Pics of setup?

Friends crown looks absolutely stunning on 14s, but he's got the shape before yours. Possibly some inspiration?

Yea, one of the downsides of this whole build/discussion scenario

Hang on a minute, 2 fuel tanks. Im going to let this settle in. It's pretty cool. Secondly, I got a slight rise out of the concept of a twincharged mini. You should think about it, and obviously seriously consider it.

Oh lord, why did you tell us this. *Starts to rummage site* Friend in Dunedin potentially has 12" SSR Mesh for sale? - http://snag.gy/OMYpE.jpg Here's my mini (Sorry best shot ive got at the moment) 10's look best IMO, makes it unique from all other cars on the road by having tiny wheels

Got it idling. And bonus points, it moved under it's own steam about 10cm (We're in a pretty tight garage!) But after warming it up completely, few things to note: still potentially a missfire in there somewhere, running rich, still only has 85psi compression (Should have 160) Guess a rebuild is in order. 2016 perhaps I can figure something out. Before I rebuild however, I'll probably do some Italian tuning. Maybe try that sea foam stuff or whatever its called? I needs someone to either bring me a leak-down tester or help me feeler gauge the valves to see if the issue exists there. In other news, found out you can bore the sleeves on these bad boys and run EB1 Civic pistons, giving us ~400cc, newer/easier to find piston rings. May give me that 3hp I need to beat the Mrs' Mini in a micro-car drag race Next on the list is to put it up on stands and pull all the brakes off and rebuild. Then when that's done I can bring her outside and hoon (See: "Go fucking slow") down the road. Excitement level 4.

There's only so much you can do in 30 seconds eh?

Totally could have come too... oh well, next time

There was a Honda 360 meet in the weekend in Japan. Hilarious video. https://www.facebook.com/neolife360/videos/778094092336639 God I want one of those vans, so cool.

But we're all hoping for a bit of this

I'll need to go into ABC at some point for the 360 if you want to go on a double date Luek

It's not much, but it is a running video

I especially liked his hello kitty beanie.

Goat you beautiful man you. She runs finally. Spark issue in the end, condenser is poked, joe happened to have one rolling around his flatmates starlet. Rangi mod installed and she fired up pretty much first pop. Grin was ear to ear.

Very cool! probably N600's I'd say, but I'm not sure how many N360s actually went to USA

I have service manual yes. Welcome to come over and gander. This is my first car older than 90's so my learning curve of "Just hit it with a hammer" seems odd to me. We got a single choff btw, but that was within like 2 mins of cranking and spraying ether and getting high on fumes.

Yea the station village is liek that whole complex though, with the 3? bars in there and 54 gaming machines BS. Might be lucky, might be not...

If you know of a leakdown tester then that would put my mind at ease for if the valves are seating. The spark seems to be quite strong, the points looks in good condition, I could find another points from Japan, but we're producing a solid spark with just new plugs. It's more than likely the timing of the spark more than anything The main problem with timing is you're meant to set the crank to TDC with the head off, then put the head on on TDC via the mark, then tighten the chain. Which we didnt do it, we just did a rangi job, so in theory we're either spot on, or off by 1 link.(We've checked it twice now and think it's good, but you never really know...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/71825662/lower-hutts-station-village-entertainment-complex-closes-its-doors I'm unsure the consequences of this station village closing on P&J, but it is part of it...

Another pictureless update as the car hasnt moved But since the last update I have: (With help with a friend or 2) - Chain timing was out, during the process of turning the motor over once we had filled it with all new fluids, friend (Or me, unsure now) turned engine backwards and skipped the chain as the hydrolic pressure went to nothing on the tensioner. Instead of taking head off and organising new H/G to get it back in timing, I only had to turn it backwards another 2 skips of the timing chain (Held the cam at TDC with vice grips and rotated motor back like 1/8 of a turn in the end to then be timed correctly again) (Sorry Scott and Jared ) So it's now timed up as best as I can see ... hopefully. - Next onto the carb I have cleaned it out various time with carb cleaner, removed the jets, made sure they flowed well (Carb cleaner is aerosol so punch a bit of grim out or all of the things), unfortunately there's a wee bit of old fuel jelly in there and I'm not entire sure if it's completely out of the passages. It doesnt seem to dissolve in the carb cleaner too well, but we did only find it in the float. Float is now filling up, carb is now giving us fuel, unsure how much fuel still. Might pay to say I have the 2nd gen carb here, so looks the same as the Z600/N600 carb. - Starter motor we had to drown the bushes in CRC to get dirt loose enough for their springs to work, smoked a little bit when we first had it cranking over too But she's all fine and dandy now, cranks over like new! - For the points we've adjusted the brush in there so it's a more suitable distance from the lube. Wasn't any rust or dirt in there so I'm hoping it all looks ok. The spark seems to be firing on both plugs (Replaced them too), unsure on the spark timing yet however, I can't see why someone would change it though? - We've done a compression test dry when it was first timed up, had 60psi equal over both cylinders. So hopefully that means there aren't any bent valves in there, but maybe the valves are seating 100%. We've lubed the bores up since and we're going to do another compression test and also find a leakdown tester to use as well. So next thing to do is probably lube up the bores some more, and then do another compression check, other than that, I'm out of ideas now. Help?

Yea seen that. Thanks though, debating if I need it (See: gf)

P&J just closed? :'(

This build thread is underwhelming Put an RB in it, bolts right in etc. Glad you got it sorted though (Y) Been casually looking out for some 4x108 wheels to see if anything popped up, nothing so far. Looks super cool, cant wait to see it in person so we can compare how much oils we leak. Need to try find you one of those old sunglasses windshield cover thing (Those cardboard foldable things)
