Speedo out by 10% so need to see if I can get a cog with extra teeth for the speedo drive or increase rear tyre size by 10% (5% to get within the threshold)

how are they checking this? with the odometer or just where the pointer is pointing?

perhaps repositioning the needle 5kmh out at zero will be within 5% at 100kmh say (odo will still be out) and say 50kmh will be out by less i think(was suggested to Me once with gearbox conversion in a falcon)

Pretty upsetting to find in my driveway this afternoon. 

Must have happened last night as it was normal when i used it yesterday

Bloody lucky they didn't get in as I had more stuff than usual in there. Given me a bit of a wakeup call to keep shit hidden ( I'm usually a lot more careful) 

I'm guessing something spooked them as there was about 15k worth of building equipment sitting there. 

They didn't even damage the lock enough for it not to work :blackeye:

Tools have been put away like they should have and looks like the van is narrow enough to tuck inside the gates with some creativity.

Needed to do some prep for manfield.

Somehow I've misplaced the original overflow tank so I sized up the one from my mark II. I have a few cressida ones which are a bit different but couldn't locate the matching bracket. 

The mark II one fitted using existing captive nut on the top and adding a longer bolt to the mud flap and a nut on the other side. This also moves it to a location I'm more likely to regularly check as it was next to the battery which is a pain in the ass to get to. 20220522_110313.thumb.jpg.9b687a1c87370d42d25f1c78cb4b092f.jpg

However the shaft length on the 23/5 is 25mm longer. 20220609_152853.thumb.jpg.f3fe9407a1f2aa166210a94cb89551db.jpg

I was about to go wild on the grinder trimming in and cutting new slot for cable to fit into when I vaguely remembered you can somehow change the head. Used a hammer and punch in vice on the 19/5 gear and it popped out revealing a knurled end on shaft to hold gear.

Axent Audio in New Lynn repaired the square woofer foam on the pair of Pioneer ts-x22 for $135 including gst.

I installed them last weekend with a single bolt through the engine cover and another through the battery cover to hold them in place. They sound good but not as good as I remember the ts-x10 sounded for some reason.

This thing has always had a bit of a water leak most likely from the shit junction on top hose where there are 4 joints in 200mm (engine-filler cap-radiator) all on a bit of an angle and just average. Took it in to my radiator guy and he said to make a cardboard model of how I would like a filler neck added to passenger side 20220802_133556.thumb.jpg.4a383a1118234f8cc9298f4c36dd232d.jpg

The existing setup meant I had to remove drivers seat and 10 or so bolts for the engine cover. Moving it to passenger side means 3 buckles and I can check/fill water. Tempted to move dipstick over there also....

Dropped it off this afternoon with my cut up glad wrap roll. Hopefully back up and running for the weekend
