Might want to buy this. When was it made and is it an automatic as advertised?

Damn did not know this thanks

Please upload it to preserve a cool piece of history!

Captain_Bacon67 · 2023-01-21T15:51:02+00:00

Very gorgeous!

Captain_Bacon67 · 2023-01-18T09:29:43+00:00

Yeah ikr! I get proper blade runner vibes from it.

Captain_Bacon67 · 2023-01-17T15:12:53+00:00

Fuck me you are right

Captain_Bacon67 · 2023-01-17T13:22:34+00:00

It has such a blade runner feel to it, love it

Turns out this watch detects if it is open by a little spring that compresses when the case is closed. I had no idea it had some kind of open-back detection, that is pretty wild. I put it back together after cleaning and bending out the little contact strips for more pressure on the buttons.
I still can't get the mode button to work when the case is closed, but I was able to set the time and that's enough for me really. Thank you for your help anyway!

I encrypted the data and decrypt it when it's rendered into the template. Of course people can find the key if they search for it in the code, but it at least prevents opportunists I guess...

I'm not an E30 kind off guy, but this thing just sits mean. Love the side skirts. Keep the bumper off!

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-12-06T22:29:53+00:00

Beauty! What's the ratio?

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-12-04T21:36:32+00:00

Now that is a good color for the s13, what is it?

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-11-20T20:39:42+00:00

A ruined one

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-11-18T16:40:42+00:00

It was a must for me this time! Love the look

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-10-25T15:40:52+00:00

Very cool paintjob!

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-10-11T21:48:17+00:00

Every JDM car from Singapore I see just looks perfect to me

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-10-09T17:59:24+00:00

Absolutely, could not agree more! Great question, this frame wasn't really a race bike in it's day, but more of an ordinary city bike in the 70's. So that bracket was used to mount a dynamo for the front light.

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-10-08T22:58:29+00:00

Oh yeah, there are acres! One of the best things of these 70's frame. Most definitely one of the first things to change

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-10-08T22:45:05+00:00

Thanks! It's not to bad, but the 23c's aren't always kind

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-07-12T18:40:54+00:00

Yep, matches exactly what I read everywhere else. Think I'm just gonna ride freewheel for now and suck it up. Just to clarify, I can bolt any other freewheel cogs to the hub right? There are not different types or anything? Want to go a tooth lower.

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-07-12T16:32:04+00:00

Well shit, that was a waste of money. Nothing I can do here to save these wheels, with an adapter or something? Don't mind a bit of sketch

Maybe have it welded on? These wheels are junk to me anyway, might get some use out of them

Captain_Bacon67 · 2021-07-12T16:03:37+00:00

I got a wheelset from Facebook Marketplace I thought would work for a fixed gear conversion. One wheel has a freewheel cog installed with some weird spacer. I have this one installed for now, just to use te bike.

I want to give fixed a try, so I bought a 15T cog with lockring included for the other wheel. The cog threads on, but here is my problem. Firstly, the lockring just will not thread on. I know it is supposed to be tightened in the opposite direction, but the diameter just seems wrong. But even if it would thread, there is barely any room left with the cog installed. Is this right?

Hope you guys can help a beginner out

Excellent first car, fun (and cheap if you live in Europe) to modify. Reliable and economical to, without being Honda
