'81 Scorpion Mk.II

Long time no post. So yeah, got sick of the endless fiasco that was the blue POS, so I bought another one. Astron II 2.6, 5spd, 260k, typically 80's grey interior blah blah etc etc. Pre-sheep: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t31/1617890_10201515947649476_1201451848_o.jpg https...

Lost a couple kilos (down to 111kg from 116) and bought new rec-reg and ignition modules for the bike. Almost had the SMLE crossed off my to-buy list, but had a last-minute case of the practicality disease and bought a .222 CMC/Howa instead lol

Drove this. Took it easy because it didn't have a battery clamp and the flywheel stone guard/dustcover thing was missing, but still. Feels good. Did do one pull to redline in 2nd though, goes surprisingly well considering it's got a basically stock 2L Astron in it. Mild cam, 2.6 carb and the exhaust...

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/290426_3791090744704_130705296_o.jpg Progress. Dirty engine bay is dirty. Sister's boyfriend and I got stuck in and put the 4G52 back in it. Has a heavy-duty clutch+flywheel and a rebuilt narrow Jap 5spd, other than that it's exactly the same as when I...

Long time no update. Tiny turbo is goneski, gave it to a mate to put on a 4K. Should be lol-worthy. G54 is on the stand in the shed, ripped it apart to discover shagged balance shaft bearings and a couple broken rings. No bore damage though, thankfully. Bores are bloody brilliant, no wear lip and th...

Narrowblock will be smaller, dunno about the others but I'd assume so. All you'd need to do is change the clutch friction disc to suit the W5x/RX7 spline?

Was keen, but seeing as it "wouldn't be right" to drive it as is, for now at least... whatever. Guess that makes me one of the dreamers.
Good luck with the sale mate :)

Ah, stuff it.
Better buy it soon if you want it guys, because if nobody's bought it by next week I'm going to. Just need to talk the bank into letting me into my term savings account.

You only live once, right? lol :)

Good luck with the sale mate, hell, if it's still here in two weeks to a month I'll probably buy it myself :)

Scored a free turbo off a mate today, it's farking tiny lol. One of the factory turbos off a JZZ30 Soarer. Steel wheel, zero shaft play, apparently good for 14psi of megaresponsive goodness. Should be fun :smokin :twisted: Gonna see what I can knock up by way of a J-pipe (lol, I know) and see what h...
