  1. ill be bringing my car down to christchurch next year early february, i'd be keen to meet up with you all sometime around then. Just have to earn 17 grand for uni in 3 months and then get down one week before O week. good fun

    Err, how do you plan to earn 17gs in a few months? LET ME IN! [not prostitution right?]


  2. Ok, so I changed thermostat -- car is no-longer over-heating on the temp. gauge, but the "Overheat" red led above head is still on, and flickers every now and then. I managed to drive the car for well over 2hrs at mixed speeds and the temp. gauge stayed under half. Possible that the led has shorted somehow or more likely that I should replace the hibicus fan also then get checked by a pro?

    [Car drives awesome tho, love the idle sound]


  3. Wouldn't be surprised if you have an air block, i had problems with mine, and ended up putting the garden hose up the small bottom return hose and turning it on untill water was coming out the bleeder screw and the top return hose from the block.

    Yeah could do, but we are pretty confident. No air bubbling and we bleed it with the top hose before attaching it the hoses back up.


  4. Hrm, well after installing the radiator, [easier than I thought], we idled the car and after 10ish mins the temp. gauge started to rise and the coolant/water started to boil. Pressure was building up in the top pipe yet had no air left. So we are now thinking its a thermostat problem as-well so am getting a replacement tomorrow morning from Ray again, should have a running car before the night is out!

    Picks of it on the trailer [towed it up from Waihi to Auks]


  5. Yeah thats what I thought but wasn't sure if anything else I needed to know. Cool.

    Basically next on the agenda will be a manual conversion so anyone in Auks that has parts PM me!

    Ahh also, talked to a chap 'Ray' from the shore that I've noticed a few others here have talked to and will be getting an auto radiator [larger] tomorrow morning for $120. Primo. May go to him for some manual parts unless you guys have some ? ? ?
