Hello all my name is Joel. I'm Canadian, Eh. I am an old school Toyota head and fabricator car builder turned scooter addict. A few years ago I was finishing up building my 1975 Corolla and a customers 1987 Corolla 1UZ V8 drift car swap
When one day an odd thing happened. A buddy of mine got a free Honda Spree, and then another... and then another. In return for helping him get one running he gave me the leftovers...
2 1986 red Sprees, one was an Iowa. I did a vin search and got papers for the non Iowa as they are not legal up here in Canada for road use and got one ripping with nothing more than the leftovers and spares in the boxes.
It was fun, but brutally slow, topping out at about 55kph. I ripped around on it for a few weeks till a box arrived from Japan.
Inside was a set of monkey Kitaco 10" wheels, DioZX front end and wheels, a China pipe, Peugeot Speedfight 2LC cylinder, 200mm disk front and Monkey and Didi17 hub. Oh and also an early AF18E.... That got stuffed in proper quick with a bunch of fabricobbling together.
I got the seat recovered and cut all the foam out of it leaving just enough to keep my butt off the pan.
In this iteration it was a fun scoot, did a little CVT tuning and it moved along nicely... but I got bored.
I got a 50mm Taiwan bore, ported it, fixed all the casting blemishes and sand stuck in the transfers, put on a 24mm OKO, CT intake and did some more CVT tomfoolery along with a quick rebuild. It would do 100KPH in this form and I made it thru the whole Victoria scooter rally. I did a drag style pipe exit for fun.
The footpegs were short lived they dragged in the turns
Monkey R front fender added.
And that brings us up to date on the normal part of this build.
