Sam44 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The time will soon pass. I do believe these guys are the guys to go to with these. These lads and Fen sport seem to be the starlet specials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Been down to the car today as the weather has been blinding. Managed to get the wings to fit a bit better need some more work but it's a start. Test fitted the livesport reps with it. Love it can't wait for the engine to be sorted so I can get it back on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Engine has been stripped down it's not good news. Something happened to the crank which inturn has worn a groove into the block flywheel end and also chipped bits of the crank off I'm gutted as the rest of the engine is mint can even still see the hone marks on the bores. So I'm now in need of a block and crank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 A year on still haven't had the new engine built back up yet. life seams to get in the way put away most of the cash to get it built back up now so that's good. Really missing it now hopefully have it back to working condition by summer next year fingers crossed. cheers nick. Have a throw back pic of the last time it worked Yakushi 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 NICK! haha nice to see you still have the V man. Have you looked at spacing the front wheels out? I used to run 20mm hub centric spacers with my cruise wings on the old black V. Handled nice with the slightly wider front track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have 20mm hubcentric spacers currently think I'd need to get 40mm ones made up for it to look good I'll see when I get round to being bothered. Still waiting on engine to be built up hopefully after winter it's ready for me to pick up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Yea man, started lurking again. May be back in a starlet shortly too all being well. Ah I'm sure you will be in love again when the engine is ready and back in. Nothing happens fast when you have a family to prioritise. I know that feeling mate.
