| 26 December 00 | Happy Xmas etc. |
| 22 December 00 | Updated electrics page with series I, II & III wiring diagrams which are just crap scans from the Lambretta Workshop manual. |
| 20 December 00 | Updated the parts page to include new images & items. |
| 18 December 00 | Sorted, got an MOT for the SX200. Now off to the VRO to get the forms for registering |
| 15 December 00 | Few Lambretta TS1 facts gained from chatting to Taffspeed. The Taffspeed TS1 road exhaust will peak at 8000 rpm max, whilst 6500 rpm is normal for a 225cc. The standard exhaust port width is 40mm, but opening this up to 44/45mm & rounding it off (7-8% higher) will give approx. 2-4bhp. Nothing, if anything is done to the transfer or inlet ports. This is the Taffspeed fast/quick road tune which I'll be getting done. You loose a bit of bottom end, but gain it on the top end. I'll add this info to the TS1 tuning page. |
| 14 December 00 | I'm not a total Lambretta bigot you know! I do own a 1968 Vespa SS180 which I got off of a good mate, (Mike Mauer "Power") in the US. It's not run for years & probably needs an engine rebuild (seals, bearings etc.) However it is a nice looking classic scoot & I will be getting it running next year for my wife (girl's bike!). |
| 13 December 00 | Replaced clutch cable on SX200, typically it wasn't straight forward and took over an hour! Still need to adjust & next time the headset is off replace the outer cable which is shagged |
| 12 December 00 | Updated rebuild progress of my TS1 GP225 (none). Also planning a page based upon my experience importing & registering etc. scooters (for personal use) into the US & UK. |
| 11 December 00 | Added search functionality to the site - thanks to Atomz for this & Doughnut for the reference |
| 10 December 00 | Found the knackered TS1 top end in amongst 10 zillion boxes. Sending this off to Taffspeed for him to work his magic on! |
| 09 December 00 | The SX200 started after about 6 kicks. Took it for it's MOT but as I'd forgotten the US title the garage wouldn't do it. Booked in for next week. Decided to ride it home but the clutch cable snapped up at the lever, don't you just love Lambrettas? |
| 07 December 00 | Found all the keys to my scoots so I'll be taking the SX200 to a garage this weekend to get an MOT. This is the first step in getting it on the road. However it's raining so much at the moment I'm not sure when I'll get to ride it! |
| 06 December 00 | All our crap has arrived in a 60ft container from the USA. Somewhere in there is the top end of my TS1 which I intend to get ported & relined since the big end blew in Sept. 00 on a 250 mile the ride up to Vancouver BC. |
| 05 December 00 | Have to get the SX200 UK registered which involves getting insurance and MOT and dealing with VRO (vehicle registration office) to get an age related number plate (not the dreaded Q plate) |
| 01 December 00 | One of the founding members of our local scooter club "Lost Souls" has his souped up yellow Vespa racer featured in the December 2000 edition of Scootering magazine - nice one Stu! |
| 30 November 00 | Well my 3 scooters have finally arrived from the USA. They all cleared UK customs & I drove down to Romford in Essex in a van to collect them. They're currently sitting in my sisters garage at the moment. The SX200 is the only one running as the GP225 TS1 has a blown engine (half of which is not with the scooter) and the Vespa SS180 needs a total engine rebuild & hasn't run for years |
