Re: Scooter for a 16 year old

Most scooters are now 4 stroke. For his first he will bin it so but something cheap and cheerful. Lexmoto and ajs are 2 of the better known Chinese brands and the 139 qmi gy6 engine can be tweaked a bit. That same engine is also found in honda and Peugeot so no point paying more for the name for a f...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

All the car dealers I knew (back when God was a lad) never used to lock their cars, they all reckoned that if the cunts wanted it, they'd have it away and broken glass was a pain in the arse to deal with. I of course always go against the grain and lock everything. Didn't work when the scrotes want...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

Oh, well that's okay then. With todays tech it should be impossible to nick a car ffs. I remember the keypad on my saxo. I couldn't start the fucker myself at times. It used to work itself at times. Can't remember my vts having a keypad although that means fuck all. I think if you unplugged those k...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

I used to do the odd but of welding when I was younger in an exhaust factory but it's a skill I really want to learn properly. Especially considering I own a Peugeot and a ford. Just buy one and play and practice then! Mines getting on for 30 years old, cost 150 quid and does a good job or spend mo...

Pity I'm not nearer, I'm cheap.
For a decent welder I will travel. I find it hard to trust folk with my vehicles and that's why I use just the one mechanic who is a good friend of mine for bits I can't do.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

125-130bhp is ok without an intercooler. The next step up on remapping is 155bhp but intercooler highly recommended at that as well as a decat but I'm decatting this soon anyway. Easy enough job to do,just fit an inlet manifold and intercooler from an rhz 110 2.0 HDI. They never was fitted in the B...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

This van has near on full service history and I change oil every 3-4k. It's the RHY 90bhp 8v HDI so pre dmf and coded injectors. Doesn't even have an intercooler but that may be getting fitted. Is remapped though so around 130bhp. Not mapped for power,more for mid range torque. I'd think it could s...
