Is that flywheel HP or at the wheels?
My stripes were always worth 20HP, and the Matt black bonnet added another ten.....The cloverleaf does that
Both - 30 to one and 30 to the other!

Nope those are for equipmentGiven your airsoft addiction I thought you would be buying ammo boxes for your lipos.
I currently have 2 of them filled with stuff, mostly magazines, and accessories.
One was for 5.56 blanks and the other one was .50 Cal belts

Mito?Today I acquired an extra 60hp.
They made a 155Hp variant of it.
Turbocharged 1.4 16V T-Jet gasoline engine the same on Abarth Grande Punto SS, 595 and 695 but with different ECU but essentially the same exact engine
Yes, I've got a 2013 Sprint with the 78hp 1.4 8v. Not very powerful, but bulletproof and sounds nice. I've made a custom cold air intake and will hopefully be making my own performance exhaust (high flow cat + straight-through muffler) once my welding is up to scratch, then with an ECU tune we should end up somewhere 100-150hp. Fingers crossed!

Those are great saws. I use mine way more than I thought I would. Just set up correctly first and make sure its making square cuts.
Be careful & controlled when you lift the arm up to make an upright saw table with it . It becomes back end heavy and is very very easy to tip it over backwards .
I've added an extra wooden leg at the back to stop this happening again .( soon to be a spring out metal back leg .
It took me ages to beat the dent out the wheel case cover and get it aligned again so it could close enough to trip the safety microswitch to closed and rewired the thing with new cables and the grommets that got broken from the apex over basement exercise.
I already have a low speed vertical bandsaw, converted from an old wood botherer by adding a reduction gearbox. But it doesn't cut long lengths, hence I couldn't turn this local offering down. It needs a new band, everything but the length setting stop is free and working, so that should be the extent of it.

Oh that's the biggest displacement F.I.R.E. engine essentially the same exact engine on my little Punto but with 200 extra CC .
Strange it's only 78hp because that's the standard power for the 1.2 16V, yours should be 100Hp, the same engine on the Panda 100HP, I don't know if you ever seen one but essentially a panda with a Golf 6 looking bumper.
I'd put a 4-2-1 runner then straight pipe all the way till the muffler and then put an emptied muffler.
It'll be more than happy, problem with cat is that there's really not a perfect spot to put it if not were it's originally placed, and it's practically like having a stove in between the engine and the radiator.
You might want to put the cat inside the muffler itself so it's well shielded from everything else reducing the heat transfered to nearby components.
On exhaust path you'll find everything and I mean everything, brake an fuel lines, gearbox cords and shifter mechanism, and none the less the fuel tank.
Anyways if you accomplish that you'll be more than happy because it'll sound great.
My little Punto has the original stock exhaust and after 25 years the cat kinda gave up.
It has an hole nearby the last curve before the muffler and it sounds awesome for what it is.
It pops, occasionally bangs with included flame spits beneath the car.
But it'll sound even better if you managed to put individual throttle bodies maybe from a bike since you still have to do a map.
Main problem here is that most sensors are placed into the throttle body

New neighbours have knocked down the original bungalow and asked anybody if they want any roof timbers 100 years old but still in good nick
Firm I work at breaks up every pallet they get and sends to be shredded so my friend gave me an idea...
this is the first batch
This is how he built all the buildings in his garden , heres his pub under construction , I'll be building mine on a concrete base but hes had no issues since he built it 5 years ago
Some nice bits of 16mm polycarbonate offcuts from Eurofighter canopy going to be made into a shelving unit for my son , gonna try to get him to do most of it too

It took me a while to realise that the bespoke bi metal blade I had purchased hadn't been synchronised at the weld join , instead of the teeth being running alternative off sets there was two perfectly spaced teeth with the same off set .

Seemingly an H.J Hjorth spring winding device from somewhere over the pond.
Quite fancied that.....

And this caused what? A clunk every time it came around or worse?

French mole traps are the way to go......View attachment 509367
MWitA asked me "Did I have any toy windmills" to poke into the mole hills,
so I set her to watch a training video.
Now she wants a 12 bore ...
After the catastrophic failure of the QD fuel hose connector on my BMW bike yesterday, (Picture in your mind: Me screaming to SWMBO to get off of the sofa and find fuels cans to capture 20L of freshly acquired Super Unleaded which were fast leaving the tank following the full tank fill following passing the MOT....) I now have a set of ear clamps and a clamping tool courtesy of Jeff Bezos for when the new QD connector arrives tomorrow.
Whilst on my wild spending spree, I thought I'd also like to tidy up the VFD connections I keep on making by having a nice new set of bootlace ferrule crimping pliers and 1200 terminals from the same source.
I have yet to try either tool - roll on tomorrow.....

Mrs Robo acquired from marketplace, but I had to collect
A Fatmax cantilever toolbox to keep her horse grooming kit in for less than half the price of a new one
A couple of clothes lockers I've got to put shelves into, had to collect these from an industrial estate near the Villa ground and going on the amount of cannibalised cars/shells around I'm sure there was a chop shop operating.
