Haha . . . I confess, I have many fond memories of enjoying the wall of sound back in the day.



Now that I think of it, I'm sure there are also just as many memories I've lost from that era.

I truly wish I could empathize, but I'm a relative young'un. 41, and didn't attend my first concert until '90 or '91.

Still, I respect the great legends. I consider myself fortunate that I got to work alongside several of the really serious pioneers of recording and PA early in my career. And I have the hearing loss to prove it.

I've been fascinated of late by the tremendous diversity of unusual, and largely forgotten electronic / electromechanical instruments which came to be during the 20th century.

Here's one for those with short little attention spans. Easier on the eyes too.

So I truly started my progressive twin turbo project.
In the spirit of thoroughness I decided to start with heat management.

What I have now is a removable, full coverage, air gap trans tunnel heat shield:

9 mm air gap between the heat shield and the tunnel all around.
Also, I cleaned and undercoated the whole bottom of the car, plus the top of the heat shield for added protection.





Aluminum frame is covered with soft closed cell insulation material (stuff I used inside the car) to eliminate rattles and such.





Mounts at 12 points - I converted the shifter boot bolts into long stainless studs, and used 8 rivnuts...










Next step: A very unorthodox method to extract heat generated by the turbos outta the car.
Many rivets to squeeze...

Can some recommend me a new router to cover a 2000 sqft house, 2 stories + basement + detached garage? I need it to be able to work with smart home devices that only connect to 2.4ghz. Budget friendly preferred, but will go up around $200 if needed.

If you only need Wi-Fi and router itself works fine wired up - then look at Ubiquity WAPs.

Which ironically happened last night. It's usually best to stop, even if the boat can keep going.


Poor Cal.
