We rebuilt the motor in this and felt it required a thorough road test/thrash before advertising on trade me . So i put my 15 yr old son in it and watched . I had to make sure the successful bidder was going to be happy with the rebuilt motor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfDgoS9S_Aw

The way to run in a motor is to drive it how you intend to drive it for the rest of its life. And that looks like a thrashzuki so looks like its being run in right 8)

I can certainly See/Hear the potential there, by the time it frees up a bit and you remove the governor she will rev out nicely :P and Matt don't be afraid to keep your foot up it :lol: :lol: ,

The engine was fully run in prior to this we just thought this would be a final test to make sure everything stayed inside the engine and that the cob webs were out of the exhaust .

how much does tony want for it?


Sorry dave its sold . new owner is happy as he has dramatically cut down the time it takes to get the stock in .

Good luck with your Licence Matt :P , I bet dad is letting you use the 80 because it will have to be CLEANED inside and out ready for the big day and I know who will be cleaning it :o :o . Don't tell the licence tester that you have been driving since you could see over the steering wheel :lol: :lol: .
Parents should be held more responsible for their offspring :oops: ,

ANOTHER BLOODY PETROL HEAD :D :D :D :D :D :D ,
