Re: 1980s Honda Melody Build - GY6 swap

I made a new gasket over the weekend, and got everything put together. Im supper happy with how its coming along. DSCF2298.jpg I traced the old gasket parts onto thick black card, as this gasket isn't actually subject to much oil or anything I skimped and decided not to use gasket paper. It worked w...

Re: 1980s Honda Melody Build - GY6 swap

So Im going to try pick up where I left off. During trying to start this project my car decided to be stupid, long story short I spent lots of money and time fixing it. So that put my plans on hold.

Re: 1980s Honda Melody Build - GY6 swap

"slightly" not "scone". The other thing I need if I do stay with this motor is a back wheel if you have any ideas.

Re: 1980s Honda Melody Build - GY6 swap

Update, motor arrived today. Its massive, way bigger than I expected, But I have mocked it up and It will give me the right amount of stretch I want. Tomorrow I will be making mounts for It and then next step will be attempting to wire it all up. I also need to find a new back wheel and fabricate an...

Re: 1980s Honda Melody Build - GY6 swap

Hey, na I got it off trade me from a guy in Blenheim. I don't have that much money to spend on it at the moment and it seemed like the cheapest option. Also Im under a bit of time pressure as my car is broken and I will need transport to CPIT in the next few weeks.

84 aero 50 Jetting

I live in NZ and Im planning on running a performance exhaust and also a pod filter.
