It's perfect! Except that it's just about to blow up. And Mrs. Happy is giving me grief like you just wouldn't believe. Quote
Ou7shined Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Don't get it either, surely all you have to do is put a new head on it. It won't be blowing up after that. Quote

Annoying Twit Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 [quote]If you're within about five miles of Chiswick (London W4) then the van is a drive-away. If you're further away than that, I recommend you arrange to tow it.[/quote] Quote

So that's a large garage with a high roof and a block & tackle. And Suzuki parts & spares are outrageously expensive ... this ain't a Toyota. And once the head's off, what if that's not the actual problem? Sometimes, you just need to know when to walk away. Quote

As a laugh they want to buy the van, ditch the engine and the rear axle, then fit the engine from a Hayabusa. They reckon they might need to modify the chassis a bit, maybe cut down the roof to lower the CoG. I said, "That's before you fit the nitrous, right?". They took me seriously and said that they were considering it ... Quote
markytbass Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I think it was a Suzuki my mate had, it was easier for him to cut the gearbox out from underneath than it was to get the body off. Quote

Happy Jack Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Right now it offers 'Dead Slow' and 'Stop'. I don't think the dilithium crystals will last much longer ... Quote

Ou7shined Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Dude why didn't you say so? All you've got to do is adjust the harmonic resonance chamber which should stabilise the Omega molecule. The chamber will then emit an inverse frequency to dissolve Omega's interatomic bonds and Bob's yer auntie the Dilithium crystals will be back on line. Next. Quote
Happy Jack Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Yeh, but I'm using unleaded dilithium ... will that make a difference? Quote
