twilight bros panel - problems

well, some "wiring bugs" or whatever it is...but the panel is in the garage, and i will try to fix it asap. i would like to go to Forssan pick-nick, but with a working starter ;-) - also have to put some safety belts for the passengers. ;-) and for the harley i need to have a brake test, :-( that sucks.

twilight bros panel- update

1 day to the inspection... but im in the cottage with jimi-boy, having a cool time, we´ve been cruising in saukkola-city, eating strawberrys, ice cream, drinking "cold drinks" and eating what ever comes to mind. ;-) JIMI´s day naps, is loooong gone...seems like that. ;-)

but Mika did a fine job with the panel van, now i have to fix some small hand brake issues.

i have to drive to the helsinki city, today, because i have the permission for today...and to get Jyrki Launes race-number stickers to his famous black street racer... :-)

the sun is starting to soften my head in here...huh...

but cant compalin... hey i have even the crappy video camera to shoot some action clips from alastaro this week... and maybe even some cruising & krem-a-que too...lets see.

and hey...rancho gearbox update coming soon...

twilight bros panel- update

well after the inspection, mika särkelä promised to help in the rust-issues, but the crazy part is that there was more than the inspector found, so lets see how long mika has to weld the chassis.

driving the panel in a heavy rain to mäntsälä was a pretty interesting ride...

rothmans racer - rust!

damn! we need help!!! some rust issues that needs to be fixed before the final check out.

krem-a-que 4.6.2010

my krem-a-que wasnt a big success, i did´nt make it with my panel, due to a short circuit in the starter motor... first i thought that the trouble is with the ignition switch...but after taking the "hot wire" off the switch, the starter was still trying to do its job when the battery was connected... i got a new ignition switch from "oberschlachter boys" with super fast delivery, and i want to thank mikko and olli in here for a good service, plus the fact that they had the part in the shelf. WOW!

ok, i had to take the starter motor off, (and if you can thing how hard it is to do in my home-yard, with 225-17 tires with a slammed suspension... huh... ) put a new one (old 6-volt starter with a 12 volt teething) that i got from sami (http://bunnyracing.blogspot.com/) sooo a big THANKS for sami also... i owe you beers. ;-)

but after those things, the panel was ready to rumble. and after couple of shots of start spray...i could take the panel for a short spin... ;-)

...i thought that maybe the krem-a-que for me was/happened in fredrikinkatu.... :-)

ok, i was ready for the cruise night...

twilight bros panel -fixing up

the gearbox oil bleeding wasnt so bad to fix, but for the moment im not sure if its fixed or not, i have to get the panel on the road so i know more...still have to fix the horn (broken wire) - one blinker is not working ( the bulb is dead) but the baddest thing is the rear tyre puncture, i need two new tyres. looks like the 205-50-17 tyre isnt the most popular one. well i will get those somewhere... so i have to check if a 225-17 tyre will suit?

the best part was that i figured that the carb linkage only opens the throttles 2/3 only. :-)

veljekset hämärä goes for a shopping day!

have to go to pick up my new glasses, new jeans (old ones has more holes than a golf course) & something else... and maybe to fix the panel also. :-)

twilight bros panel - overhaul - oilfilter

that pesky oil filter is really tough one to change, it needs 2 guys to swap it, but its now there! its not easy at all with a "frozen elbow" ok, next the new oil IN, and some adjustement to the rockers... maybe the 82 hp will be one more (with new airfilters etc...) ...

twilight bros panel - overhaul

rear tyres off, oil getting off, filter also... and some ideas.

olari swap meet 2010

hmmm... it was cold inside, cold outside, not so much people, not so much cars, but anyways, its always fun to see old friends!
i was with "twilight bros" panel ( and a almost flat tire ) i should take the panel and stuff it with go-fast goodies, but i cant - i looove ´em.
ok for the cars...hmmm, there was a nice KG, nice split, TWO cool panels, and some "bugs" but the cream was this Ferrari with mangels wheels. the plate says theres some sex... well i´m not sure about that... ;-)

twilight bros panel- update

minor tweaking happening... i tore the original window seals off, and plans are to use some wire to put the windows back on, with new seals, change the rear tyres, to new ones...and to change the oils...etc...after the repairs its time to cruise...

twilight bros panel - rude awakening...

after couple of minutes starting...the rothmans race panel was alive again. i let it idle for some 20 minutes, to get the fluids flow in the engine...and get rid of some moisture... :-) but wow, it really sounded good after couple of months sleep. i might be forced to make an overhaul to the engine... and maybe change the front window gaskets...and one gasket in the rear axle...as well. but after that i think its inspection time... and after that...maybe some hi speed cruising in Hell-sinki city. check out also the cool eniro "street view" pictures...
