Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
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!

Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
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

Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
thanks for the support guys
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!

Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
nice build.
are you only going full original restoration?
have you considered putting in a new motor? f20/22, b-series, k-series?
seems like your having trouble with the original motor for about 2 years?

Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
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

Re: 1965 Honda S600 Coupe owner
thanks streetsidestig, i do hope so,
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...
