My Chain case Oil seals arrived from Birmingham UK. I guess I've sourced my parts every where in the world now.

I love the weird Wallace and Gromit stamps that says 1.46 Great British Pounds, never seen that before in here.

Here is Banzai UK February 2011 writeup of the Honda S600 article. Cars owned by Scott King

Spare front signal lamps wiring and adapter bought from Scott King of USA, he's the guy whos been featured in the articles as above.

My mechanic has given up on my car and mentions that incoming buses and trucks takes too much of my time and he wants to push me away to other mechanics, sadly!

So I'm looking to move my project to Ipoh and hope he can get it sorted out. He had fixed a S600 convertible belonging to Datuk Percy of Ipoh and he has 2 certificates from London about his mechanic skills, so I am convinced!

 

[Kevin Lee]

anyways, long time no update, away to hong kong and macau, car was sent to new mechanic as older mechanic given up. i hope the new one can help me solve the headache

heres the migration process from kampar to ipoh. chasing the towtruck in the rain and seeing it go under the rain is hectic

 

[USJ101]

Ha ha .. mechanic gave up, you don't give up lor.... We still want you to update your project status... :)

 

[Kevin Lee]

i hope so bro, i think im banging my head about to give up, lol

since i went to hong kong, i bought this for HKD95 (less than 10 USDs) to kill time, since i do build the real car. best part about the kit is that u can build any of the S cars u want, S500, S600 or S800.

Also met some other nostalgic car models and hot bunnies along the way

while i have to balance my work, my studies and my newest commitment to write on one of malaysia's largest automotive portal, zerotohundred.com, i have to take out my carburetors and overhaul myself, as per overhaul guide written by Frank Avecedo, difficult task i will do next month, once my exams will be over!

 

[Kevin Lee]

[USJ101]

How much is the hot chick then...

 

[sharkv12]

2009 to 2011, and still going strong, you have the patience man

Keep up the good work man!

 

[Kevin Lee]

lol sorry for almost no reply, my parts supplier has been slow and hasnt told me anything

 

[Kevin Lee]

so busy with exams, work and dealing with my other "sponsored" car.

i've resumed the project. my 2 liners are broken when my last mechanic mishandled it, no problems, just have to send it again to have it redone again, though i'd be poorer now!

bad liners

good liners

after a long crazy busy month, it's public holiday today, ruler's birthday, so i decided to take out the carburetor and analyse it myself. ive labeled the carburetors from A to D, to identify each individual carbs and not to mix the parts around.
to my horror, theres so many dead insects lodged in between the carburetors and the rubber diaphragm inside the carburetors need replacing. so i decided to take out a piece of rubber diaphragm for parts sampling purposes. ive missed out assembling 2 small lil rubbers, i wonder where they go now...

 

[Kevin Lee]

its been long i ever had an update, im going to uk this sunday and definitely gonna buy this from uniqlo UK, hopefully be able to show my honda friends when in dusseldorf. i cant wait to hear the honda s600 upclose!
