i guess my plans are to finish up the little stuff. i need a fender, i need to hook up the brakes, paint the sidecar frame. the tub needs a little bodywork and paint. soon ill be starting on my leading link forks. then hopefully will be adjusting things, and then riding the wheels off of the thing.
I found a 1994 fzr1000 rolling chassis. I was thinking of picking it up for the suspension for a future project. I comes with everything minus the engine/exhaust/harness. No title. The guy says the fork and wheels are straight. He's asking $150 bucks. It looks to be in decent shape. Any thoughts?
Thanks Bro.....Yeah the banging and shaking was from my tub not being bolted down tight enough. I have rubber spacers but the stupid bolts I bought had to long of a shank and not enough threads so the left about a 1/4" gap.....I just need to get some new bolts that have threads the entire length...
Well.......I drove a sidecar for the first time today!!! It was fun! I finally got everything welded up and bolted together. It was snowing but I went out and rode it around the house a few times.......I didn't even fall over! ;) Here is a video...
Back to the sidecar stuff. I spent a little time today, tinkering around with the brake setup for the car......nothing fancy, but I think it will work. Now I just need brake lines.
in some cases It is hard to drive gently if you have to pull out of your driveway onto the highway or a high speed road (my case) , in that case I feel a longer warm up is a good thing. There are a million different variables.
I thinking more about turbo and manifold temps. Starting a turbo engine and taking off quickly or shutting it off as soon as you come to a stop causes rapid changes in temps....this leads to cracked turbos and baked turbo bearings. I'n not talking about 15 minutes maybe a minute or so. I know a...
yeah i am kinda confused by where the oil came from.....maybe there is a crack in the head or an external head gasket leak. it looked like anywhere that didn't have a really good seal oil was pushed out. bit if it was something serious i don't know why it would stop leaking. i guess i should be...
Thanks for all the good info guys! It does make sense that this has happened now....my wife started a new job about two weeks ago that is about 4 miles from our house. The car doesn't really get a chance to warm up. The smoke was not coming out of the exhaust.....it was being created by oil...
Yeah that what i was worried about but I don't think it was enough water to and damage. I tore everything apart and got all the ice out.....it was more slush than ice. The valve seems fine the inter cooler should be fine it wasn't packed. I called two local mechanics one of them was a vw...
