felixx Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Loving it. Almost as many HP as my 997cc anglia! 28km/L! http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=32134 Quote
feathersword Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Fuck this is cool!! What's the plans for this? Enjoy as is, or restore to original condition?? Looks to be in fairly good nick for something off that road that long. Quote
shizzl Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 choice........lol'd at 10" rims though Quote
XPLOIT Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 The car is being stripped down completely for the rust repair that's needed. Once that and the brakes have been sorted out it'll go for re-registration. Hopefully it wont need too much more apart from new tyres. While all the interior is out, i'll be sending the seats off for some stitching repairs and tidying up things like door cards etc So long term, a full restoration with some little mods. Ill sort out some subtle audio, new paint (Original colour), get it sitting down a bit with some wide steels or period correct Japanese rims. Quite keen to get a little different with the exhaust system. This particular car has given me some ideas of what I want to do but at the end of the day, it wont be rat-like. I really want to emphasize the noise an aircooled 2 cylinder makes. Getting the engine running some very high RPM is also on the long term cards. Cheers for all the comments Quote
feathersword Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I remember that car when it showed up on Speedhunters I was all "WTF" then all *drool*. A more tidy/non rat one would be so mean, I wouldn't think there are many of these in the country? Quote
felixx Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 It is a cool we car, my wife thinks it is "cute" Can you get a pic of it parked beside your 4wd for lols Quote
Snoozin Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Remind me to enquire about the one on a lawn just around from my place... Quote
10Speed Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Remind me to enquire about the one on a lawn just around from my place... remember to inquire about the one on that lawn just around from your place Quote
xsspeed Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 and giz it to me These are sweet, something like this would be so mint to work on I reckon (bar finding parts). Semi pined for similar when Kyteler had his Daihatsu Max Quote
XPLOIT Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Oh dear, i've bought a 'cute' car. That's never a good sign Please Rich, remember to inquire I'm having a heap of fun working on it. I'm a little ahead of what the thread has explained, i'll get it caught up soon. Im used to small cars, but this is well thought out and you don't feel at all cramped in it. As far as numbers go, I dont really have any idea. I know of 4. But of course, there could be heaps around. There is an absolute minter here in CHCH, a red one. Google "Kiwi Aircooled Fan". It's had a complete resto. Quote
bosozoku_gx71 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 My god that's awesome! Should get the fronte running, gets neo's ute and have velodrome races in Japanese kei cars! Quote

Snoozin Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Hey I remember I took you for a hoon in my DC2R and you admitted, without any provocation that it was actually a pretty cool car Quote
XPLOIT Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I had the same with a lot of people in my CL1. Gathered a little respect from hters haha. Quote
XPLOIT Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 They did come twin carb on the 600 I think, but yea, mine is nothing like that. Im just uploading some more photos into the build thread now. Quote
XPLOIT Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Does anyone know where I can buy some board that the door cards are made from? Have found that maybe something like 3mm MDF might be good? Quote
KKtrips Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 3mm MDF is what most people use AFAIK or 3mm plywood is better but slightly harder to work with Quote
