'ol banger was awesome last night! It hangs the ass out even though it's front wheel drive and does wicked handbreakies! MintGTB and I were wetting ourselves laughing the whole time! Next stop is Scroggs Hill now that it's been graded.

I think we have our cruise destination for this Friday. The ol' banger will be coming instead of the mighty Gen 1. Who wants to be passenger or should we have a "rock-paper-scissors" tornament on the night to decide?

[MINTGTB]

It's such a cool wee beast hahahaa!

[Jimbob]

i will need a ride to meet again

[subi4snow]

Depends on what other people can do also of course...

engines in car, gonna put rest of engine bay together tomorrow(if cruise/meetup is on sat), and quite possible wire up boost solenoid

[Andrew NR]

What do you mean possibly wire up the boost solenoid? Would you run it on wastegate pressure otherwise?

[Jimbob]

i have to do it at some stage before i try run it, remember i gota go from the BBoD to a 3 port solenoid setup

[Andrew NR]

Here's a list of work to be done to Ol' Banger:

- New clutch

- Fix rocker cover seal

- Cold air induction

- Remove dashboard

- Find a tacho

- Try to make mountings for the choke and bonnet release

It will be de-registered this week so no more running it on the road.

[Oscar]

Shame. I may or may not have an abundance of spare parts somewhere.

[dubbedup]

I have an old monsta tach w/s-lite for long term borrowage.

[dubbedup]

I can prolly help with mounts for bonet release and choke cable

[Andrew NR]

Thanks guys. I'll let you know when I start work on the car.

[Oscar]

Wait...it has a manual choke?

[Andrew NR]

Yep, manual choke and it's a carby.

You're a legend Joker, thanks.

[Joker]

I know

have not read thread but if it down have a WOF as long as it passes scrutineer should be fine etc : multiple drivers in a car should also not be a hassle and is way more fun as your actually competing against the same "class"

[subiesti]

hey just wondering how ya going there andrew? 8)

[Andrew NR]

The Ol' Banger is going to the scrap yard unless someone wants to buy it. I'd like $200 which is what I paid for it but at this stage I'll take just about anything.

Reason: We are losing a large number of members to Australia and Wellington which means it's unlikely to get used and even more importantly, my job situation has become desperate after Konica said they can't afford to hire me so it looks like I'll be moving back to Perth in the near future.

Also, if anyone has access to a car trailer I can borrow to tow ol' banger to the scrap yard will be awesome.
