12:00 told boss I had to go home to wait for an important delivery
12:15 tea break
12:30 ate some rather nice beef and red wine ravioli with red pesto
12:45 poo
13:00 ate a cupcake
13:30 give up pressing F5 on the parcel tracking website and long onto STW, there's a helmet debate involving TJ and he's not told everyone they're in imminent danger of dying. Very disappointing.
13:45 this arrives

14:00 decicde that I need the 280bhp konversion in the midget, nothing else will do, yes I know it's only about 40bhp as standard, but I [b]NEED[/b] that extra 240bhp to get to work and back don't I?
14:05 decide that 280bhp probably isn't sensible in a road car that makes an F1 car blush on the scales and start scouring auto trader for 1.4 rover 25's.
15 minute poo, before your new book arrived ?12:45 poo
13:00 ate a cupcake
You either need a doc or a priest
I thought there was meant to be bike building in here?
maybe he's fashioned a bike out of his 15 minute poo?
BIKE CONTENT??
Built a 180bhp Spridget a while back as you know it needs 180bhp to get to work and back! To cut a long story short - modified everything else to get 180 under some sort of ok - ish control. 150 and a bit more torque (and a gentle right foot near anything slippery) seem so much better.
Our ever so slightly modded Spridge with 80bhp is lovely....
oh and what are we waiting for this afternoo?
Yeah where's the bike part?
Nice idea though, I like the blow by blow account of your afternoon.
Keep up the sharing.
Poor saga, its definitely more of a list/timetable. No bikes involved either. It wont be a best seller, thats for sure.
I'm sure the title promised a 'bike' content, were can I get my refund?
Mod's please throw this into the Chat forum...
This has me gripped. I'm on the edge of my seat*. Seriously.
*I really do need to look into getting a life sometime soon.
Tomorrow maybe.
........Maybe.
280bhp in a Midget! 😯
The results need to be on youtube thisisnotaspoon
Used to have a 1275 Sprite & that in standard form was more than quick enough for me for the road 😉
What engine are they using to get 280bhp btw?
This has me gripped
Apart from the poo bit. Could do without that level of detail. I am confident that a bike is going to make an appearance at some point
(can somebody pick my littluns up from school at 3.15 please?)
Considered the possibility that a 15min poo is needed ?I'm on the edge of my seat*. Seriously
[i]I am confident that a bike is going to make an appearance at some point[/i]
Why, did you eat one earlier?

Agreed. No axe wielding midgets either. 1/10 Saga Content.
[i]No axe wielding midgets either[/i]
You need the muddydwarf - 'my neighbours looked at me funny' thread for that sort of thing.
Also, not a spoon.

😆
Also, no spoons.
In fairness, you shouldn't have expected one.
280bhp is apparently the result of getting clever with a 1.8 VVC k-series. 240bhp is supposed to be easy (emerald ECU and a fairly standard engine) 280bhp is frontlines current biggest kit, no idea what witchcraft is required, but apparently it has a dash mounted switch for selecting 'only' 150bhp and an economy option of 50bhp. Cost is £15k including the heritage shell and a donor car IIRC which isn't that bad when you consider throwing £10k at a standard restoration probably isn't that difficult.

First question:
Stock Sektors
Z1 RC2's from the spares box
In light of recent enormo-threads, this build will be a real disappointment if no actual spoons are [s]bodged on with glue[/s] involved.
TINAS, are you actually [i]buiding[/i] a bike, or just taking it out the box, putting the wheels, pedals and handlebar on and removing the reflectors? 😉
Agreed. No axe wielding midgets either. 1/10 Saga Content.
There will be soon, hes going to the knackers yard to find 280 broken horses. These will be converted into a midget, dunno whos doing that bit though. Probably easier to build a bike.
The thread title clearly stated beer content too. That isn't their either.
I'm going to right to Watchdog. This can't be legal
TINAS, are you actually buiding a bike, or just taking it out the box, putting the wheels, pedals and handlebar on, leaving the forks the wrong way round and removing the reflectors?
FTFY
That isn't their either.I'm going to right to Watchdog. This can't be legal
While you're [i]their[/i], why not complain about educational standards as well? Make sure you [i]right[/i] the words down proppa thow.
how big is this spares box if it has those in them 😯
That's quite green
14:30 they said 12:00 - 14:30, where's my bike damit!
14:45 emptied out flickr account to add some photos
14:48 spots 'while you were out' card on door mat.

thread may die a death now or we could go on a courier rant
EDIT:Adds TINAS to the list of proper cylists as opposed to MTB ers or MTB wannabees that frequent hese parts
Hold on a minute on closer inspection I see the bog roll by the black bucket you live in the garage at your mum and dads with no sanitation dont you 😉

That 15 minute poo could prove disastrous...

On a K series... 😕
You know that'll get you to work and back once don't you! I'd either be looking at different engines (Toyota 4AGE for example) or forced induction, or both... An N/A K series pushing out anything like even 200bhp is gonna be way too revvy for its own good, and unreliable. The Toyota 4AGE for instance was built to rev to oblivion, standard engine internals will take 10krpm!
If you do still insist on a K series, then look up info on the old Turbo Technics Elise that they used to Hillclimb. Full Carbon body (instead of fibreglass), 500kg all up weight, and a turbocharged 1400 (to fit into the up to 2 litre class) K series engine pushing out 300bhp or so. It was more than a little bit rapid!
Now hurry up with the bike...
14:50 the fuzz have just pulled up outside...........
They've come to nick a midget
Fanks for correctink me and bein' like ded ded clever and witty and dat Flash 🙄
