Did u get cover?

Yes thanks, it turned up yesterday. Top packaging all there in one piece.

I guess the A(nchor)-series engine weight to be 130kg, or about the size of a small moon in old money.

 

[wagon_1.0]

Very close!

127kg.

 

[Danny]

[Mini Mad Max]

Yeah, but you never forget moving one

 

[Danny]

very true

 

[250buggys]

Did you get your new engine yet?

Would be keen to see a pic of that compared to the A series

 

[wagon_1.0]

OK then...weight of 2006 R1 engine, (full of oil) but otherwise mostly intact? answers on a postcard

 

[250buggys]

I'll take a punt at 73kg...

 

[wagon_1.0]

Lol u guys are a bit too good at this, 74kg

Still, 50kg lost, 140hp gained....

 

[Danny]

[Phaeton]

Are you sure you're on the right forum, that looks too good for us

 

[wagon_1.0]

[Mini Mad Max]

That R1 engine looks just the right size in the context of the buggy! Keep up the good work!

 

[wagon_1.0]

cheers!

Waiting on the poxy diff is going to hold shit up

 

[Phaeton]

Still looking a 'pro' for us

 

[wagon_1.0]

nahhh

been enjoying it so far, buggy building is fun

 

[wagon_1.0]

I am considering making a new nose cone.... GRP... Bad idea?

 

[Phaeton]

I always fancied having one with front lights built in like a Baja bug, probably spots as might be too narrow for headlights, but I wouldn't know where to start.

 

[Phaeton]

Although I like the idea, I think a chain on the wood will just strip the teeth off ;D ;D
