My electric bike, a modified Schwinn Hornet:

Im planning to paint the red rim and red bit on the forks in back. I think a vintage style seat would be good too. And different bars, though i havent seen the right ones yet.

Controller in where the drink holder was. Drink holder sounds cool but is really stupid.

Made torque arms for both sides.

The top of the reversed rear rack is secured so...

The Ratfink is a very well made bike for a chopper, usually they are total crap to ride, but this one is real nice.

The attention to detail is very good.

It has a custom seat, some cool framework (all alloy), mega long chain and guard, wild rear dropouts and dice valvecaps.

Also managed to pick up an old HD saddlebag for $10, it had a small hole from the previous owner sliding down the road, but it is in good nik, only fits the Ratfink, because on a normal bike its too close to the pedals.

Had a bit of fun yesterday!

Also,

My car is no longer for sale!

I like this. Why the change of mind? Come to the cruise on the 15th :D

You were getting a bit annoyed with the car in front were you? :P

That's pretty cool. What do you do?

You've probably seen the mini coopers around :)

Mainly learner lessons, but also skid pan days (as above ^^), defensive driver courses and track days. I should be up and running in 4-6 weeks if all goes to plan

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
