bodgemonkey Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'll get some photos when my parts arrive I always mean to take some snap when i go out but its hard to control and video at the same time I've been looking at Cabbie's thread in B***, it seems simple enough with the right tools, i just need a bench drill as dad's old one is broken.

bodgemonkey Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ok had her out today with R46 and Sonik. Had a good 45 mins out of her and the engine decided to seize! Weird as it was running 25:1 and pretty darn cool, but the bottom end is really ancient so a rebuild is a must! A picture of it today chilling with the RS4 MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 After this happened I was on the look out for a 26 or bigger head, so i've bought a 2nd hand 29cc for a nice power hike! Expect it to be fitted by next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36racing Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 nice bodge (if it even is 1 in msuk's book)on the shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 You think the shocks are a bodge? You ain't seen nothing They give the rear shocks more stiffness, makes it handle better and makes it not bottom out over big mounds. Also, my car has cost about 1/5 of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Got my 2.4 gear today (cheers roie!) Going to fit that on tomorrow and maybe start deadonizing the rear plate and pin holders. Just waiting for the 29cc head now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Everything except the main chassis is sitting in some dilute oven cleaner Rebuilt the diff using some silicone grease, much smoother action now, will get pictures of the de-adonized bits when they come out of their soaking.

bodgemonkey Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Got everything deadonized, most bits bar the chassis have been polished up, will do that tommorow, i left the brace orange because i want something to stand out on the chassis 2.4 fitted on, tommorow shall see it as a roller, wednesday i'll polish up the engine. To polish it i'm using a brush that attaches onto a drill bit with either fine or coarse brushes. Attach drill to vice and wipe it down after Pre polish After polish Picture doesn't do it justice, will have to take more pics!

bodgemonkey Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Got this in the post today courtesy of kieranbolton! Few hours later, some swearing, and a bit of internal crankcase modding (smoothing out the sides, making the ports a bit larger as it still has the Zenoah G23LH bottom end) Et voila! Tyres complete with mud from the last 3 bashes, cba cleaning them Had it out idling, loads of compression, idling great, bit rich on the top end for now and it is much louder than the CY 23 head i had before, expect full run tommorow List of bits i'm getting next - New filter - Rear springs - Metal pawl Just to make it that teeny bit more powerful, and more reliable Edited February 3, 2011 by nosmonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
