quickie

the engine and frame would not fit so i had to make a second trip.

cbf400 stainless system, might make a nice turbo manifold for the cbr6.

red wheel is from a kawasaki, purple wheel from suzuki, grey one from the burnt out cbf400. suzuki front wheel fits onto cbr6 front spindle but one of the disks is bent should have enough rgv125 spares to fix that. may be used in combonation with the cbr250 calipers, which has much bigger pads, to make a proper stopping f2 cbr6.

new disks new pads and a new right fork leg. clean it? feck off.

Monday

Didn’t do my usual stuff and won’t be either, still a bit sick from xmas.

got myself a new cbr600 as a birthday present for myself.

Yeah its in a million bits. cheap tho’. (this is not the cbr i bought, i can’t get the pics off my phone, think i dropped my bluetooth dongle to many times :-(   )

then went karting afterwards, all my muscles are completely shot now, wii + pukes + go karts = ow

Tuesday, some time back.

I been so busy i have forgotten what the hell i have done and what i meant to put up on the blog, loads of thing I’m sure.

Found these pic then remembered, some dick forgot to put two-stroke oil in the 4-star tgb delvery bike. boom 600miles only, no way to treat a bike.

stripped it down, hopeful the knock was some other thing that fell off.

pizza box’s other use.

at this point i had exhausted all other possibilities.

debris mashed into head. no decent pic but the big end bearing was very mashed, very surprised it ran at all.

7 pointed hex (which means six btw) exhaust bolt and a std 8mill, down at the other end, 5 sided allen key bolt. fuck me up the arse with a jack hammer what were these shitheads thinking?

A nice pic of my gravel drive..

Also bought another cbr600, 35000 miles and quite clean for €700, only problem is it’s scattered in a million little box’s. the 700 did not include the box’s, trike it turbo it trackday it, depends on how much is there when i get my hands on it.

tues..uh no..wednesday

yeah ya I’m lazy. fucking freezing garage, don’t think I’m eating enough.

started out with changing the jet between the 1e carb and the 4ef carb, main choke was 141 (up from 138) and the other one 103(from 102). not the small choke looks alot smaller on the right lower one? thats the 4ef carb.

Have loads of holes to fill, waaay to many vacuum tubes on a std 4ef.

Had what looked like an air temp sensor sticking out in the air stream. not any more.

Think I’ll put some chemical metal down there to block that hole and improve the flow.

carb on manifold hot action! gah this stupid carb is going in the bin, i’ll fit a 1.75″ SU. note the big shiny screw? that was where the start choke was. i never use it on the 1e and it’s just restricking up the tiny carb.

Been sitting there for over 2 years now..

Note where the top rad hose goes in here? see that casting that has no aperant purpose?

theres a big hole in the 4ef one, for a water temp sensor. it gets in the way of the vacuum advanced distributer.

I think that was the aircon pump. or the power steering pump. fecking heavy what ever it is.

So yeah not much done again, so cold out there. next week i think I’ll cover the cbr in plastic to protect my completely shagged hands. or not. meh. After Christmas gonna put the car on blocks for three days and put in the damn 4ef engine, it’s been over 2 years I’ve gone through loads of sodding garda checkpoints, there not interested in the fact i have no nct. whatever car i get/make next I won’t have that nct problem and cheap tax. Perhaps a post apoc car might draw a bit more attention (that turrent gun is not really very functional, officer) but hey, maybe if i pretend I’m a religious nut (church of post-apoc and survival anyone?) they’ll back off. yeah thrust pamphlets in there faces through the 3/4″ thick plate steel Armour/windows, or maybe pretends it’s an art car? (fakes blood and guts there are sir to be sure!)

So now again, not a morris minor i think, something with a seperate frame (non unibody) and has to be 30 years old to get cheap tax and nct exempt. if the apoc does come those last two things won’t matter. hope it comes quick then.

What The Hell to get?
