[Grizzo]

Ooo nice work. Looks like a sweet project.

[SNF]

Wow! Should really have done this with mine, didn't go that far since its running fine. Will be watching

[tigertim20]

look forward to more progress.
Are you opening the engine or doing any checks there? i.e. compression test, looking at clutch etc?

[benhall]

dont really want to touch it just yet, pending availability of parts ill do a tidyup and bearings in there clearances etc thought the engine was fairly good but looks like it got fucked stem seal on no4
had been more money than anyone would ever want to spend on old 250 :)

Yeah why you fixing a fzr2 when you have those potential goldmines sitting there doing nothing.

[unstuck]

Mucho respecto:niceone:
My missus would knock me in the head with a hammer if I put my bike frame on the couch.:bash:

spot on :niceone: was trying to get some inspiration from getting this bike roadworthy to finish the 86

[benhall]

It lives, and still fast as ever :cool: just up and down a quiet road to try iron out the shit.

Getting a wider tire on the front has left it a little tall, sometimes juuuuust scraping on the guard

Good work. That front guard "just rubbing" now, will rub like all hell when at 100k's sustained.

Then you end up with a burnt front guard. Space it on it's mounts and get some clearance back.

[SNF]

Good stuff. Needs a tail tidy.

[ducatilover]

So, you own more Toyotas! I better come have a look some day, I might have to steal the AW11 though.
Although, always had a soft spot for the ST16 Sillycars

Once you go XX you don't go back....or something along those lines.

Unless you get a GTFOUR.......

[avgas]

How many MR2's you have? I just spotted another white one behind the garage!

I stand by my previous comment - what they hell with the 250?! Get those classics on the road!

[benhall]

2X one has a blacktop 4age, the other is supercharged.

hmmmm bike is so i can shuffle and fix cars while still having fun, also so i can get better at finishing things.

Best thing about a GT4 is the gearbox for making Mazda BFMR/GTXs less explodey :msn-wink: good stong box them, unless you get one that has been run with crap/old oils (IE, all of them...) and then have dirty syncros and change like shit... DAMHIK

Yeah I really liked the GT4......but they would shit turbo's faster than I could drop burritos.

Most GT4 drivers fucked clutches too. Was a good car to learn to short shift in DAMHIK.......

Yup, 165 and 185s had the delicious CT26 on them. I don't think there is a good one in existence any more... terrible turbo.

There's a cheap GT4 local to me actually :innocent:

[benhall]

All warranted and regged :) has been a breeze, power falls off at 12krpm and the tacho has been a temperamental cunt but hauls ass otherwise, carb clean up time

[ducatilover]

Does it wheelie mister?

[benhall]

im learning how to stay on it.. not fall off it :msn-wink:

[ducatilover]

:laugh: pretty good plan

[benhall]

Pulled the carbs off and pulled them down make sure i didnt have slider boot problems blocked jets etc, little bit of rusty crap in there and nothing else of much interest but i did notice the boot cap on no4 was dented which might have bottomed out the slider so tidied that up, pulled all the jets out and blew them out, these things point to the sky its a wonder they work at all, i have my rev range back again!:apumpin:
