Did a clean/polish/buff/rain x today.

Got photos from mechanic of engine going into the hole. Must say, Mantic twin plate clutches are freaking gorgeous

Did stage 1 of the big legacy clean today. Hasn’t had a proper clean for about 1 year as I was living in Wellington CBD and they have nothing decent in welly to wash cars. Love my snow foam Looks like I killed something with my wheels [emoji23]

Stage 2 of legacy clean today. Cut and polish to bring back that white pearl shine!

I can't see any pictures.

Just a little wing on a wagon [emoji51]

Dropped RS in today to fix noisy tappets/lifters. While engine is out, upgrading to vf30, hyperflow topmount, 850cc injectors and link install (after sitting in my room for 1 and a half years). When in Rome i guess...🙄

That looks so sick!

Yeah, there are some nice ones overseas, although that particular one has been totally riced. There were over 24,000 SVXs made, about 7,000 of them in right hand drive. However, there are only about 200 in New Zealand. For that reason, I am confining the list to cars in New Zealand, just to make it it bit more manageable. Potentially I could do SVXs in Australia in the future, but there's a lot to do before getting to that.

Wow now that’s a real wing! Where can I get one of those ?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Neat! Just for interest here's some international SVX's From Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/theworldisfl4t/permalink/2562068157157122/

Finally bit the bullet and got myself some flares coming from the UK, it was that or wide-body...been 10 years going back and forwards on the two. Also ordered a origin-labo gt wing and grabbed a turbosmart BOV to replace my very old/crappy greddy bov... Now just gotta send it off for a re-tune in the mean time and get the last of the gremlins sorted. Then lastly figure out what wheels will fit...

Not meaning to point fingers or be rude, but my reaction in that situation would throttle off, trail brake and gently steer back into the lane. Either way speed (I HATE using that word in relation for accidents) seems like the main cause. Reminds me of the weekend, and watching a good friend ride his motorbike - he's trying too hard to be fast on it, vs being smooth. I think learning to be smooth before you learn to be fast is the best, cos being fast (on sealed roads) is being smooth in my opinion. Plus also this bike is a 650cc twin Hyosung, that is de-restricted, and the dude is on his Learners...was a sharp price for the bike, but it's waaaay out of his league for a learner. Edit: I suppose I could throw up a build thread of the Mazda @1randomkiwi. Do have some Quality of Life things (for me anyway) that I'll be doing to it.
