CaMpylobacter Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 been running lean hardcoan ftl etc etc emery them up, get some rings, and hoon the shit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 That's what I thought. re: Emery + Rings. I also thought that perhaps they had increased bore size but not adjusted mixture of oil resulting in seize, rather than the story about the mechanic who fixed something else that required removal of the radiator, not clearing the water system of air locks.

CaMpylobacter Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 if you run too little oil it'll affect the bearings probably more than the pistons. a small exhaust leak or blocked fuel filter can cause a 2 stroke to lock solid. being two jet sizes down on a vespa can make them lock the rear wheel at 100K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well the crank spins free as a bird so not worried there, quite convinced it was ring/piston failure due to overheating. Will pop into Daihatsu maybe. I wonder if they'll be able to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feathersword Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This car is awesome! How fast can these things get to? Would you even be able to go on the motorway in it? Four speed gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah man, 4 forward and 1 backwards. With a massive 33hp @ 6500rpm, it has a top speed of 115kph. Oh yeah, thems freeway speeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 motorway commute in the flangemobile/fronte was epic lushness. fel so small, and feels like you're doing more than 2398493892384kph when in fact you're only doing 100. so funny driving 2 stroke micros over the rimutakas in epic rain/wind as well.

Sparkle Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 likely be NLA japan if they say NLA Id be tempted to ring another dealer round the country to make sure? Toyota dealerships have it don't they? Did you try giving that chap the chassis number? Sweet car btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Likely but I don't think they even tried, to be honest. Yeah, Toymota owns Daihatsu. Yeah, gave him the "L38" chassis code and year 1974 = S48 in Japan. Is a sweet car, cheers ears. Purple, Curtains, Work, Girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 cunts often don't even try for old shit. chances are though that even if they did then shit will be NLA. nothing is available fronte-wise apart from shit made by other companies like brake pads/shoes/wheel cylinders and the like.

kyteler Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Dude at the local Toyota/Daihatsu place was keen to keep me there talking, sounded quite interested in it. His words; Getting that old, it's probably on the edge of being considered "Cool". I chuckled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Try ringing palmy toyota and ask for Mark in parts. Tell him Sparkle said to ring him. Another avenue for lols. Keen to ring you so i can giggle at SI words above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I am both annoyed and overjoyed you got your lanky bogan mitts on this thing. Annoyed because obviously, it will be a money pit that will detract funds from the invariably awesome that the C110 will be. Overjoyed because, well... it's a 2 stroke micro. Anyone who comes into contact with one, be it EYE ARE ELL or via the magnificent technological wonder that is the innernet automatically discovers the giggly, weak kneed immature side of themselves. Re-ring, and start a pest smoking-out business with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 An initial outlay of $90 though, so hard to pass up and I'm going to need a daily after I get rid of the Terrano regardless, I'm sure it won't cost more than what a reliable cheap, low capacity, modern daily would anyway. Likely a mere fraction of it and the running costs should be hilariously minimal and filled with two-smoke hilarity. So going to FF Two-Smoke Giggle my way everywhere. I think it's my first FWD vehicle actually. About time too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 see if you can get your hands on some castrol super tt, it is THE best smelling 2 smoke oil there is/was. they dont make it any more but fuck it rules. its nostalgia as, as a kid being dragged around race tracks i assimilated the smell into my bran, latter when i started using it in my lambretta the memories came flooding back. bastard parents leaving me asleep on the side of a race track!!!

FLAWLES Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 theres a crowd in NZ that can make piston rings if you need to i forget them name i have to do a search through some inv's at work, they made some for a air compressor off a tractor not cheap tho, but it is an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 sheepers;Ran that in my NSR for a bit when I got back down here and no-one stocked elf products. Wasn't impressed to be honest. The NSR chewed through it and ran hotter than with the elf. Keen for elf spec stz which is actually available now. Maybe some MOTUL though. Worry about that once I've got rings etc. though. This photocopied manual I've got recommends : "SHELL SUPER TWO STROKE OIL" Jarred; Yeah, had considered that but obviously would rather the cheaper and less custom items Cheap cunt, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 what bits have you been having trouble finding dude? There is a listing for a piston for a daihatsu 360 here http://www.jccpiston.com/ I have no idea who their agents might be, but if you can find out you might be able to get some there. (If it wasn't pistons you were after, or if the ones listed aint what you need, I napolige for my failure to read your thread properly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Only really need the rings and for an 040 (+1mm?)over-sized which they might well make as well. I know that RIKEN does for certain though and they're Japanese also so I'm hoping that route will prove easier and more reliable than Taiwanese and Chinese options. Cheers though, man, the S38P ones likely work also so I'll add them to my list of potential sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
