https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408462078 The MSM turbo pics were of a car with a Precision Turbo that was at a local meet. The owner had paid a shop in Ft. Lauderdale area to do the work and it was all custom. It supposedly made 5xxhp on race gas/e85/orsomething and makes 4xxhp on pump gas but has a stock transmission so :shrug:. A really nice guy owns it but doesn't know anything about it other than he paid a shop $Texas to build it. Must be bad, though there does look to be an awful lot of plastic... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408471523 As an aside, I'm in the wrong job, how's this worth £1200 ($2000)? It's a bit of scaffolding and some builders planks. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1886...w_type=gallery https://img0.etsystatic.com/037/0/65...48704_6ywr.jpg |

because people with/without money love it spend it.

It's more that I could quite easily make that for ~£100
That's one helluva profit margin. |

I can't believe I just spent 40 minutes watching someone make a pen blank. That was impressive.

Don't bother.
I sold my 350Z after owning it for 3 months. Completely underwhelming on a daily basis and with CHEAP interior pieces........the leather was already wearing on the driver side bolster at 27k miles. If you want a Z car, go drive a 370Z and see if that does it for you. More cargo space, lighter, more HP, etc. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408490550 |

She gets her fun at never using the same type of wood/acrylic twice. You would not believe how much some of those blanks cost ($80+ for a piece of wood that fits in your hand).
I've been making pens for about 4-5 years now. Every one I've made I have given away, except for the very first one, which I use. I'd estimate I've given about 60 people pens or pencils. |

From a mead maker who knows nothing about making beer: That seems like an awful lot of headspace.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408503257 How do you like those plastic Better Bottles? I've heard good things (lightweight, unbreakable, cheap) and bad things (hard to clean, easily scratched by carboy brush and thus impossible to sanitize.) |

I really like my Better Bottle since I haven't used it as a primary. I am using a 6.5 gallon bucket for the primary, 6 gallon Better Bottle for the secondary, and transfer it back to a 6.5 gallon bucket for priming and bottling. It makes cleaning much much easier.

I've got 10g of all-grain blonde ale sitting in the closet waiting for me to keg/bottle and planning another 10g batch of some sort of big porter to be ready for winter consumption. I tend to give away more beer than I drink. |
