So it seems the equine business mrs and her mate have started during lockdown has got off to a great start meaning we need a van so this little thing is up for sale/swap.
I'm after a caddy van (£3500 swap value) or I'll take £3250 for this cash.
It owes me a hell of a lot more and i don't really want to let it go but she sold her x5 to start the business so.its only fair i help out.

Lockdown has seen things get totally out of hand now
6kg of excess wiring removed just from the interior loom, all properly de pinned. Took me 3 days off careful planning.
Complete heater system removed an will be replaced with a lightweight one from t7design.
Roof vent decided on as it gets pretty warm with only front sliders to let air in (even when it had a heater).
Rest of the lower dash trimmed to a minimum.

Any idea how much weight you've dropped? How does the suspension hold up with reduced preload effect?
Its lost about 200kg maybe a bit more up to yet. It was 950kg last time i had it weighed but its lost some more since then.
Suspension is brilliant and ive not had it setup properly yet so can only get better hopefully.

Its been a while.
Hope everyone is doing well in the current situation
Me personally I'm furloughed and actually loving the time of.
I've got a few bits done, new 16mm spacers up front which caused me some headaches with catching but a bit of chopping has sorted that.
Even more wiring gone and the lower dash has lost even more.

A guy I used to work with back in the mid 90's had KN dynas on a nissan 200sx. Looked very similar to yours iirc.
I was always on the lookout for 5/6 spokes and fancied azev A's but couldnt find any in 15" then these popped up and i couldnt resist

600 miles in and some teething issues at the beginning. new leads, coolant temp sensor and coil pack and its all good.
Bit bonkers for road use and you have to plan your journey to miss some of the crappy potholed B roads but its a laugh non the less

That must be a World First. Bicycle carrying track car, handy if you crash you could cycle back to the pits unless you roll it of course.
It will be my daily too so has everyday duties to do

Injector issue fixed and running sweet.
Last part of the puzzle arrived so its now mot ready
Its been a year of ups and downs, head scratching and at times I've questioned my sanity but its finally done!
Few little bits to tweak once its mot'd but now i can sit back and enjoy it.

Has now developed an issue, i had an injector failing (poor resistance) so swapped to a known good one a while back. Tested them again today and had one with poor resistance again so swapped that out for another good one, ran the car to test for leaks then retested them. Same one has poor resistance yet again.
Not sure whether its an injector issue or some underlying issue somewhere else so need to look into this.
Its always the same injector (cam belt end) hoping its not wiring as i hate that

I doubt you improved by 100% 😉
These ovals are not new they used to be called biopace back in the 80's, they only work if the oval profile corresponds to your power point. I have 2 mates with it and one likes it and the other doesn't.
Maybe not 100%
but they made them better/easier i found and improved my riding, my brother has one too and he says he doesn't notice a difference.
Other mates say they work for them amd some dont.

Had a few people recommend an oval 30 so may try that at some point.
At the moment the BB is a new Suntour 1x so limited to swap out chainrings, came from US, cheap enough to try and I still have the 30.
If/ when the BB needs changing I'll be going Shimano for a wider choice
Oval changed climbs for me 100%, some people seem to see a difference and some don't. Personal preference i guess.

Blue route and some bits of the red have now been altered, after a year out i tried the blue yesterday and it now has a flowy section that would be fun without all the wet leaves
Not tried the red yet.

32t ? thats huge !
1 x 10 11-46 and 28t front ring ( came with a 30 )....not too fit and too old for downhill speed 😀
That's the same setup i had on the cube all be it the front was an oval 32t.
The plan with this was to buy something i won't have to chuck a load of money at like the last one.
I have got some 27.5" wheels lined up as i preferred that size and this can run both, by altering the bottom pivot it changes the geometry which is pretty cool. I may change to an oval front ring again as i noticed a difference with that on the climbs but for now I'm going to enjoy being back on the trails as I've missed them this last year

Blimey that's a lower gear range than my last tourer or two has ever had, what's the tooth count on the back, is that a 50? what's on the front ring 30?
Yeah it is wide
32t front and the granny is a 50t
Rides well though

I'm back on a bike
Sold my last one (cube 160) to buy a clip 172 and build a track car (nearly finished). Missed it more than i thought i would and have been dying to get back out, picked my new lapierre zesty am 4.0 up yesterday. It comes as a 29er but has the option to run 650b which is what I'll be doing as soon as there built as I'm not a massive 29er fan. Just spin the bottom pivot and it alters the geometry which is pretty neat.
