ReBlog

Well I had to re set up my Blog today, it seemed to go missing on the Blogger site, not the most convenient thing to have happen. Feeling sick today, up most of the night with temperature regulation issues and delirious thinking/half sleeping. Drove the Bunky in this morning..

Well I finally checked the speedo on the Bunky and it sure is out, by about 10km/h accross most of the range, basically if hte speedo says 60, you're doing 70.. up til about 110km/h when it says 98.. Oh well, can;t do too much about that, guess I will just put up with it. I have got basically everything ready for it's first service, which I will do on the weekend, probably Friday night, get it out of the way.

I want to make a start on the GTR this weekend, that is the main thrust for getting the Bunky serviced and ready, the GTR basically had an issue on the weekend.. After the cruise we all headed out fro some fun, I ran a couple of low 12's, one 12.1 (those semi slick tyres are really nice) and then after a short baltt here and there, she popped a hose on throttle off. We managed to get it back on, but not the best, so I need to strip that part of the car and realign the hoses etc.
Got a few good pics of my car taken on the cruise too, especially this one PIC PIC PIC taken by a friend, who took quite a lot of shots on the cruise. This cruise i decided to be more social and spend less time behind the camera taking shots. We also did a meal as a group, which was a good change and all in all I really enjoyed the afternoon, that turned into late evening then early morning.

Bunky Gets a working - Repost.

Had to repost tyhis one too

Yesterday I received my Service manual for the Bunky, a nice Haynes Manual that showed me a thing or two about the engine and drivetrain that I was hoping to find out. After getting home I had a further look and the reason that the engine flies around in the car is that it was missing a number of bolts to hold the engine onto the mounts. Hmmm, curious but they look like they have never been in there. So, I put one in, the other moutn wilkl ahve to be tapped out, which I don't think will be happening.Later on a friend and I went for a drive in the beast.. Not bad a bit of smoke, a lot of hardcore high rev action a couple of handbrake turns, one near "roll" experience and a really cool handbrake action that got stuck and we consequently left a 40m black line.. Not bad for a piece of junk.. Might be photos coming in the future..Anyway back at work now and they are drug testing us all again, just took a piss, so I can't go jsut yet..

Blog Repost - First Post..

Had to repost this.

Well this is my first Blog post, thought I would finally setup a blog, still a few things to do to get this all going nicely, maybe once the RSS Feed people actually authorize http://blog.yorik.biz/ as an actual domain, then it will make it easier.Hoping to update the Home page soon, then do some updates in the GTR section, add a section for my latest baby, a 1984 Mitsubishi Colt. My new Bunky!
