Daihatsu Charade 1L diesel engine for sale

Posting here first. Daihatsu Charade 1L engine. I have a spare engine for sale with (I’m told) 44k miles on it. It turns using the flywheel so isn’t seized. I ended up with 2 after putting the word out that I needed an engine for my own project :lol: It doesn’t have an exhaust manifold though, only ...

Re: Jocalopse from Canada

I guess you could get inspiration from the latest rally reports, some of which are video based now:

Malcom Benall’s Thunderstorm device

This device might be the saviour of the ICE?

Malcom Bendall’s Plasmoid Thunderstorm device apparently saves fuel & drastically cuts emissions.

:D Just received this info from Fergus regarding the testing for his diesel Tiger. ‘ Totally standard lombardini LDW1003, tier 2 emissions engine. The exhaust is straight through stainless.

Re: The FrankenBrick Smart BMW build

If he’s breaking it then I’d be interested in the final drive provided it’s got the new ring & pinion gears ⚙️ in it from the German guy.
Needs to fit my BMW K75 build.
Message me if so?

We are back at the Blue Ship this year. The field will be open from Thursday 1st June to the 4th. The pub doesn’t open earlier because of insurance requirements on the field.

Re: Winsun 192 anyone

I’ve no actually experience with them but as with the Punsen, they are Chinese knock offs I believe & it’s best to build a bike around an original Yanmar if one is available. I’ve seen fuel lines crack due to not being supported on the copy engines & other things that compromises their longe...
