Just random stuff an automotive engineer is doing on the cars and motorbikes in his household...
I turboed an MX5 before the age of the internet became what it is now and did some interesting stuff on my Suzuki Grad Vitara but was too busy actually doing it instead of filming it.. :D lots of stuff going around but neither captured (except on photos) nor uploaded.. but the knowledge is here.. just ask.. :P
By looking after stuff I wanted to do on my cars/bikes I realised that there is a gap... A gap I am willing to fill.. i.e. Honda Hornet PC34 or NC750x various jobs which an average user can do without spending lots of cash at a garage.
Sometimes it is just like the Clarkson calls it.. "How hard can it be?" Not that hard it appears.. You only need to know your limits and be willing to surpass them. :P Having the information gives you the power to surpass anything (sounds quirky but it is the truth ;) )

Excuse the background music.. I have turned it as low as I could but if by any means you recognise it.. all the credits go to FUCKING METALLICA and I would recommend you check them out on Spotify or wherever you can because they are the OG metal band (trash-metal, but who keeps track?). I do apologise if this infringes any of the copyright laws.. it was just what I was listening to at the time ...

CityBug AyeGO - JDM colander fix (hopefully) with X8R seals kit
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
Sealing the JDM colander.. I did not film the end-result of the vents but I used Unibond silicone bathtub silicone.. I had a tube of Tiger Seal but I couldn't squeeze it out (perhaps because of the cold or perhaps because it's 5 years old :D). I have followed Tim's suggestion and left the vents resting on the clips, then proceeded to lay another bead of silicone after the first one was hard eno...

what speakers are they?
Thank you very helpful
Mmm it good but without the baffle it has a weird kinda suck back sound when you release the throttle it's a bit like a goat blowing a raspberry, so I'm leaving it in on my nc750s 😊
Great video ty
its a good Idea to the rear lights......Change the seal from left to right and glue IT Not in the lamps holder...No glue IT on the metal of the car......why? Its a sponge...the screw what holds the lamps instnt Centered.....so the oposit Side instnt Push to the cars metal.....the water comes in at the whole for the electric cable....If you glue IT on the carmetal you built a water dam......glue than of the upsided egge or arround all a Silikon seal.....so the dam IS Safe from water what could Go through the sponge..........i did IT that way.....but i Made my own seal from Rubber EPDM ....by cutting IT Out a mat from 15mm hight....Using the old seal as reference...this EPDM Rubber Material Looks Like a sponge but the inner Material structure instnt Like caves, No there are separates Mini bubles with No Connection to each other.....means water resistent...
THANK YOU
Nice video. One question, how much Newton meters should be tightness on front seat bolts?
Thanks Rob
Nice bike, nice sound, how is the exhaust holding on after one year?
Big help - Thanks!
Does it fixed now?
Those original speakers are embarrassingly crap 😂
I have a 5 door Citroen C1 which has no rear speakers at all, so I built a new rear parcel shelf from 12mm ply and fitted some 6x9s to it. I also upgraded the head unit to a Pioneer DAB, put some better speakers in the front and popped a Kenwood sub/amp combo under the passenger seat. About £250 all in and worth every penny 😊
Thanks mate 👍
Happy new 2023 year!
good to know 👍👍
Another one of my favourite bikes to ride! Mate has one with a 16” Fireblade front wheel and it turns like a supermoto. 100bhp which is enough for anyone normal.
If I could only ever have one bike this would be it. VFR can turn its hand to anything. People wank over the earlier one with the gear driven cams, but the vtec is faster, handles better and has a better riding position
Decent bikes, but I’d have to go for the DCT, they’re great for a lazy bastard like me.
I’ve only ever seen 2 of these in 15 years of working on bikes and being a class 1 & 2 MOT tester.
Honda didn't make nearly enough of them.
‘YES!’ P.s. I have nearly the same Facom socket set but with the ratchet where you can spin the little dildo handle round on it and it turns the ratchet. It’s a really nice little set but I just use a £10 Aldi set 99% of the time. Fuck getting my nice tools dirty 🤷♀️
Nice, I got mine on a pretty nice offer £60 brand new.. so I couldn't be too picky 😁
Good looking bike. Personally prefer the look of the stock exhaust but sounds a little anemic.
thank you😁
Sounds great!
Perfect Sound! Great. Thankx
i just put mgp exhaust on my cbr but im thinking of changing it to Gr moto like yours.
Sounds alright !
without seats and top polo nothing happens
What is the round plastic black part under the seats?
It's the fuel pump dust cover
6:37...your OCD just became mine as well...and did not realize I have one :))))
8:23...cut down the fitting pins and pray that it does not rattle :D
no! :D
very, very...sporty sound...my guess that on the speedometer as well :D
this is how an exhaust should sound like... not too intrusive when you don't want to but a screamer when it matters :D; that's why I prefer the MIG over the BW on the Hornet
I personally prefer the BW to the Micron or MIG exhaust sounds...it sounds a bit more menacing, even on the return to idle :)
it is too intrusive when you're just cruising and it quickly becomes annoying
Seems that it is more towards the 95+ dB that sounds more of a Hornet ;)
Sounds fantastic with engine load as well... a bit like the Akrapovic on the FZ6. I love it.
