Woolly Bully New Year

chilled with christopher bully on New years. rebuilt some puch mags, ran some brake cables on the maxi Chris is selling and did some wiring. We were gonna ride to the parties but didnt think it was such a good idea on account of Chris' fractured knee cap. Some blurry pics of New years eve. Carries tomos and some LA skyline. met some rad new friends and partied on their roof top. my pics dont do the view justice

man i gotta move to LA as soon as possible!!  Moped house is still in the works. well friends, thats it for now

no funds

underemployment, no monies for a big boy carb rite now. im gonna make the Cobromos build a mild mannered one til i can discover a way to make money grow on trees. For now gotta make due with the little guy 14SHA.

had these two pedal reeds laying around from a previous project. pretty good reeds

busted out the Dremel today. had to remove a lot of material from the manifold so it could flow smoothly

 smoothed out the transitions a bit.  square peg in a round hole kinda thing, ya know? nothing impressive. Still got to finish her up a bit

Awww well. im tired. thats it for now. Tomorrow, some cylinder work

stuff

some tinkering with fellow knucklehead. got the 24mm intake manifold fabricated. also STILL had to hack and weld the Simonini to fit. Pedal clearance? forget about it

80 metra ported to the heavens and freshly rebuilt.  The wiring is still not done

On the left are Tomos brakes. On the right are Puch. huge difference

the recent rain storms have passed and hasn't rained for 3 days here in california. We ride soooooon soon

turbocharged

After months of broken car and under employment, I was finally able to save up enough extra scratch to pick up my rebuilt turbo from TurboCity in Anaheim. YAY! seriously the best place ever!!! Geary was great. when i walked in the shop, he already knew my turbo was from an mr2!  wayyyy knowledgable and super trustworthy.  This was the ORIGINAL TURBO!!! and lasted 290,000 miles! HA! hopefully this one will last at least half as long. He upgraded the turbo seals to "dynamic" seals which are supposed to seal better? i dunno.But really did do a super high quality job.well the good ol' CT-26 got cleaned up, ceramic coated, intake/exhaust compressor wheels put back to spec and all the seals and internal o-rings replaced.

 

dual entry!

Sweeeeeet. little turboToyota is ALMOST back on the road.  my brother will be uberglad im not askin for his car anymore. more to come sooon.

update Cobra

got some wiring done while im under-employed. cleaned up the connections and grounds. put in a LED taillight which is cool, sleek. Good for the me, good for the cherry toppers.

 Gonna have to figure out better mounting for the taillight. is ok for now

got a new bike stand. its cool for my bikes that dont have the center stand

Sooo other Knucklehead news. Bryan picked up that magnum from Eric. he's sellin it to big B because of the previous tickets he incurred on said magnum. No license, no registration, no mirrors, no reflectors(???) and speeeeeding.  threw the book at him. Eric just got the bike too! after he was looking months for one. man. serious bummer. awwww well. more to come soon. It hasn't rained yet in LBC
