Monday win day, Tuesday fail day.
Rake!. Just finished lowering the front it’s about 1.5 coils off now, did this with the strut in situ.
Found this in my rear upper mount.
If it was just a hole i could have fixed it another week, but nnooo, it’s gotta be completely fuXored
Tear ass down to the scrap yard on a spare honda 50(dressed in WWII gear) nearly fall off in front of the place while trying to indicate and brake. sarge laughed so hard he nearly fell off two. Relieved of 60 euro i bring back two complete ep80 rear shocks which are about 2cm shorter and have harder springs. Bonus!
looks like 2cm to me but was in too much of a rush to bother checking.
Back together again and i have some spare time to put the atc110 wheels on, 8inchs? the future man.
Enjoyed driveing it all of about 40miles, very taunt, car is a joy to drive again and i begin thinking of finallly getting the nct sorted and slaping in the bigger engine.
Mind you maybe i should have not have rushed the job so much….. on the plus side it did give me a really good idea on how to shorten the stroke lots, just need to find a set of sperhical bearing that should be lying around the place somewhere. Massive things but there probably well lost by now
A Trike!
Bought this yesterday, e100! everthing is bent cut busted and rusted except the tires and probably the brake (singular, rear) i say probably beacuse i haven’t actually looked at it and it might be busted anyway. had loads of plans to bigger better engines but now i think i’ll just fix/fit the engine in it weld up the HUGE cut/hole in the frame and sort out that rear wheel, the axle teeth are stripped so i’ll have to either pay for a new one (yaright) or weld the hub to the axle (gotta get it straight) maybe way in the future i’ll get a bigger chinese copy engine, but as soon as it’s fixed i want to see what driving with no suspension on the road feels like 
did i mention it has a frame number and a few other legal nicecitys?.
Just this morning.
Pity i didn’t take any pics of the crap 14 alloys that were on it, embarrassing they were, just put the 13′s on here so needs to be driven for the suspension to settle.
Now all i need is some one who is very very good at soldering. did i just put my credit card details in a pic?
Scotland: 1590miles
Well, got back from Scotland, enjoyed the driving, didn’t like the drinking. Don’t really know what else to say i mean like i really really liked the driving, I got from sterling to ballymun(Dublin) to limerick (got lost) and finally to cork in one day and enjoyed it! it was something like 450miles. Didn’t think I would with all the driveing I do during the week. When I got home and could stand again I looked up nick sanders, 19 days to circumnavigate the world? hot shit I could do that! okay maybe not but then I’d be doing it on a 80,000mile old cbr. Sarge didn’t have any nick sanders dvd’s but I got long way around and long way down. Those ejits should have spent there own money and got the KTM’s, personally I’d like a Russian 6×6 or a the tiny two-stroke the camera man was using 
.
Speaking of serious off road machine, looks like the recession is make 4×4′s cheap now, seen a nice nissan pickup for 1700 and a 3ltr daihatsu for 1000. The economy will have picked up again by the time I have my starlet re-engined and NCT’d leaving me with nothing again.
Other news:
Project hardpoints will be moving along soon ,watch this space as they say.
Got a laptop! will be taking the dremel to it 2morrow.
New wheels again for the starlet, nice set of 13″, cars look much lower now and will be cooler then a very cool thing when I finish the suspension.
HOLIDAY PICS HERE
This is a nicer sign then the actual john o groats sign. Did a 250mile round trip on my own to see this while the other two were hung over
Did you think i didn’t have any problems with my bike? HA!
That rads been dead and holed 4 time’s, last time the neck got a little outta shape so it wasn’t really sealing properly, this mod allowed me to see what the water was doing and fill up sooner.
Bashed on that f3 rad i got from JT, fan didn’t fit, bottom pipe needed extending and upper slip on joint was miles out. f3 fan might fit i’ll never know.
Little bracket i made up. Also squeezed in a temp gauge from an nsr80, it lights up red and the speedo light up green. Mismatched monster eyes lookin at ya!
