    Thank you, any advice and tips is most appreciated. Do I need to get a battery trickle charger? I don't want to knacker the sprag clutch. 

    I take your point about the exhaust, needs moor loudness definitely.

    Just get a good quality battery, yuasa or similar, not a cheap one. Trickle chargers are shite.

    The quick release fuel connectors should have been replaced u der warranty for metal ones, easy enuf to check tho.

    If you fit a race can, you can get free fuelling maps from tune ecu, made a big difference to low end fuelling on mine with a factory triumph race can ?

    I was confused at first thinking it was a childrens nursery with the name and paintings on the walls.

    Nah, just run by hipster vegans I would think looking at the 'vdub'

  3. Looks like a Cagiva Elefant 125 with a coating of Nato green and a rack.

     

    Think the engine is as Mito, most will have been imports from France or Italy anyway so full power (30ish hp?)

     

    Pretty rare in the UK in any form I think, a jap equivalent will be easier to find for sure.

    Elefant and mitos are all water cooled lumps with 7 speed gearboxes, this is a much older tech engine in newer clothes in military spec (ie rugged and simple - unlike the water cooled ones!)

  4. Just back from a wee run in the Vito down to Southport to collect this... A double Decker ZX9-R B4. Proper winter project as it doesn't run ( starter clutch gubbed) and has no brakes or clutch. A gamble?Probably, but can't resist a big Kwak. Should keep me occupied until spring.

    Let's hope the gearbox and headgasket are good too, looks well except for the cheap ass danmoto can

    'Still original colour it left the factory in'

     

    Was going to mention the orange door shuts and interior, but to be fair the roof certainly does seem to be trying it's best to make that statement true

    2.0L Petrol engine so no nasty diesel fumes in the cab - No, just petrol fumes instead

     

    Purchased at the end of the summer with a view to convert into a camper, but have just taken a job in Europe and unfortunately i have no where to store him. - Wife refused to have this pile of shit on the drive...

     

    Spent absolutely ages searching for this LT making sure i got the perfect base for a conversion making sure i got one that was mechanically and structurally sound. - Could not find one so ended up with this crap...

    Is this a genuine TWR Mazda?

     

     

    I thought it's a genuine TWR Mazda?

     

     

     

    Brexit, right?

    Pretty sure that TWR supplied a bodykit only as an option when the cars were new, nothing on the car was reworked by TWR, just a basic GT iirc....

    I think he's added JDM because they dont not know what it means but all the cool kids keep banging on about it!

    another mg metro, this one is £17k.

     

    £17k????? are they sniffin' glue or taking intrevenous drugs?

     

    well when it looks like this

     

    it is more a 4R2, been a T16 turbo driving the back wheels only, but who cares!

     

    a real 6R4 is worth, now, what £250,000 (if not more) then this one making most of the right noises isn't so rediculous.

     

    i would......

     

    I would too, but replace the pigeon shit roll cage for a proper one, fit wheel spacers and paint it in Computervision paintscheme - proper
