Gaulson Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Missing the scoob, it's hidden away in some garage with someone I don't know... lets hope he does a good job :).
stants Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 What bikes that in your profile pic ? Always wanted a trials toy but never got round to persuading everyone that I'll be sensible enough [emoji51] Hope the shop does a good job, when's she due back ?

Gaulson Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 It's a Beta Rev 3 125cc, all the weight is low down and it's really easy to ride. Problem I have it I've never ridden a motorbike, so I'm learning to ride from scratch. The bike didn't run right for months after I got it so barely rode it until last week when we found the problem, now runs like a dream :D. Now balancing on a plank of wood, good start. Don't actually know when she's due back, the guy is doing my rear quarter for £300 and my bumper for £100.... said he will probably have a go at some other bits if he's bored. So will see :).

stants Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Nice mate, My problem is I can't stop injuring myself whist on a bike weather manual powered or mechanically, least the speeds are alot lower on one of those [emoji51]
tom_gr7 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 What you buy ? Well i only really needed a replacement cabin/pollen filter, but I bought another oil filter (for my next oil change) and some front D Bushes and rear droplinks - MOT advisories. edit bought a clay mitt too.
savage bulldogs Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Not exactly done anything to the scoob but I did drop the rotas off for refurb and hid the laptop from the mrs so she can't see my pay pal purchase receipts. Cos when she sees how much I've spent on the refurb , new centre caps ,wheel nuts ,2 new tyres and some caliper paint...... she's gonna go ape [emoji39]
DaiP Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Finally fixed up my brothers old Legacy after he abandoned it for the last year. New brake lines, new front brake caliper and a lot of freeing off of seized parts and it runs and stops. An MOT and a good clean and I've got a new work car. It's amazing how quick cars deteriorate when they're not driven.
savage bulldogs Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I didn't think men could multi task , well I did today .... Cos my New centre cap's and wheel nuts turned up and I upset the mrs at the same time [emoji39] "After all you spent on wheels and tyres this week you then went and bought more stuff bla bla de bla bla......" Lol 1
stants Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Drove into the gate at end of drive proceeded to smash the 2nd gear synchro in sympathy for 3rd on way to work. Not a happy bunny today. Still I reckon it's the clutch given up and not my poor driving. Glad it's Friday
Dogconker Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Not a good start to the day [emoji19] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
stants Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Luckily my car appears to be made of rock and the gates come off worse [emoji51] Just wasn't paying attention swung out and clipped it [emoji35]
Gaulson Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Its amazing how much wheels can cost isn't it savage, all adds up very quickly. Especially with nuts, tyres and center caps lol. That's good if the gate came off a lot worse stants
Scoobyghost Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Good news Gaulson! You'll be back and running in no time.
Gaulson Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I know, very excited! Caliper seal kit arrived yesterday so when my car is back I will sort the brakes. Whack 4 new tyres on and the spoiler then good to go
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 What's involved in painting calipers, much prep ? Today I took car out placed a national bet came home sat in the house in excruciating tooth pain. Roll on 8.30 Monday morning
savage bulldogs Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Mine weren't too bad as they were shot blasted , primed and painted 3yrs ago when I refurbed them with stainless steel pistons (so I did them in situ) Pulled pins and pads out Sprayed them with degreasent and wiped them over with thinners . Wire brushed and sanded them a bit with a scotch pad to give the paint a key , wiped them over with thinners again . 2 coats of brush on lime green paint later Might paint the "subaru" bit in black at a later date but I've still got the rears to do first
Loz Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Tried to free up the boot handle a bit and attempted to remove boot trim to see what's going on in there, gave up because its cold and I didn't want to snap any plastic parts. Then I came in and read up in why my clutch shudders so much when warm. Sigh...
