New member just saying hi

[Woody-r]

Evening all,
Decided to join up after a conversation with an existing member on ebay ...
I have a dazon traveller that i saved from a life in a field unused .. i have owned it for a few months now and have realised parts arent easy to find ....
At the moment im considering an engine conversion but not sure what i can get to fit without reworking the whole rear end but watch this space
Regards rich

Hi RIch, its the other Rich, Welcome!!!!

 

[Woody-r]

Cheers guys .... decided i should get it running as it is for the minute and then next winter when i clear the garage out i will probably go down the major modification route and go for a saab turbo lump thinking around the 250 bhp mark should be plenty

 

[ChaosMS]

HA HA 250bhp - better consider wheelie bars too! - that would be a monster with that kind of power!! - fun build though I look forward to seeing that one progress

Good thing with the saab lumps especially the 2.0 turbo is i can have 3 different ecu's that i can swap over within minutes going from 175bhp , 250 bhp and 300 bhp .....ecu's are only £30 each and i know of a few people that map them. .... im getting excited already ........ must stick to the plan tho .... going to change the thermostst and fit 2 new cooling fans over the weekend that should sort at least 1 issue lol

Welcome to the madhouse, but please don;t do what some of the SLACKERS on here do, make things all nice & pretty polishing things, ;plastering walls in a garage instead of doing some real work & getting things running & out on the road.

Alan..

hahahahahahahah

@phaeton

Dont you worry about us... we need to get our workspaces sorted then we can concentrate on the builds at hand

 

[Woody-r]

Dont worry the pretty garage isnt happening just yet ... thats hopefully in a couple of years when i can afford it .... hopefully picking up a gearbox for the dazon in the next week already fitted new cooling fans and sorted out some wiring so im halfway to getting it back on the road

 

[Danny]

When I start a project I start it and I finish it so when I do get started there will be updates all the time

 

[Woody-r]

Awesome i do like to see a build thread
Managed to find an engine and gearbox for the dazon.... got it in the garage ready for when i get the time and motivation

nice gonna enjoy this build I think

Unfortunately its only being replaced with the same engine at the moment but while its out im going to take lots of pictures and measurements so that i can work out what will fit or what will need to be cut or welded to fit something big in ...... never know may even look to loose a bit of weight from it and use a bike engine but will see ......
