alini Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Started her up after doing some carb adjustments. Decided to run down the street and get some gas (since I ran out Sunday). Car rides nice, idles around the housing area in second. Its alot softer than I expected but its smooth. No vibrations, but the passenger exhaust is knocking on the frame somewhere. The gas gauge is far from accurate, the turn signals have quit working. but it moves under its own power and I got up to 40 mph. Left in the drive way for some pics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinRiviDad Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 WOO WHOO!!!! a standing ovation is in place here. Building these Riv's is a task in itself. U were faced with extra extra extra rough terrain (Vegas heat, sand filled car, your own bodywork & home paint job, broken engine…). Phew…that's enough for anyone to pull the plug & call it quits Not U…After all that, U stuck it out & now u got another first-gen Rivi on the road. That is a HUGE accomplishment brother. And she's beautiful…if my drooling doesn't give it away, let me tell u, I'm jealous haha Great job! Someday I hope to get my build where u are with yours. Thx for the motivation & thx for sharing… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
