Now then

 

Recently went in with a few mates to buy a breddy that had been stood a few year purely to make a bit of cash for my MK2 golf (hence the title, the missus thinks it's funny) 

Stored it on my drive, I fell arse over heel and ended up buying them out of it. 

 

So shes an 89 breddy, in white. No rot, no nastyness and a CBR powered Afh. 

I must add at this point that I know nothing of this car, I bought it unseen the mates who went to get it were clueless so I don't know when it was last ran/drove all I know is the last mot expired 2011 and it must have been garaged because it's in incredible shape. 

 

So before I even turned her over I pulled the carbs off, pulled the plugs, little bit of derv down the bores and let it sit over night. That night had a look inside the carbs(CBR f2) and decided that they needed rebuilt as most of the o rings were perished along with lots of seized brass. Main jets disintegrated on removal too. So if anyone wants some junk cbr f2 carbs I'm your man. 

 

Next day, turned her over by hand a few times felt good so dropped the oil, changed a few filters (thank God euros is still open) and did a bit of general poking /inspecting. turned my attention to the brakes, surprisingly okay no locking, moving freely and looking in decent shape. 

 

 

Ordered new carbs, new cables and a few other goodies to try and get it up and running at the weekend. Should be a laugh. 

 

If anyone knows the previous owner I'd love a chat and I look forward to having a carb'd 16v in my life again. 

 

Cheers

That engine looks powerful well in there!

Interior seems mint as well! A bit of a detailing and that's going to be an ace wee car!
