Bought my Christmas gift little bit later but worth it
Speeduino standalone ECU , little step towards a big goal.
It features
Injector control
Ignition control
Launch control
Boost control
Flatshifting
Soft/hard cut rev limiter
It takes signal from camshaft position sensor , throttle body,map sensor, intake air temperature sensor,rev RPM,lamba sensor
It's a good compromise for me
I am thinking to download a T-Jet map and adapt to the engine I'll go to use because have the same static compression ratio .
So no decompression as advised in the dedicated rally car thread I've made.
So I can do everything I need without to much headaches
Maybe found another car

At last, something useful for an Arduino to do.

I have had cuddles from a busty lady. Plus she brought lunch.
She declined my offer of a Braile test as well.

Oh yes.
A Mamod.
a early forward and reverse Traction engine.
But fitted with a Meths burner.
It has a "Long Boiler" and reused/recycled from an older style engine.

I think they're Stanley. I've got a couple. Blue for pozidriv, red Philips(sp?).
You're right. They're very comfortable in the hand. Did about 10 thousand (well
) screws on glazing strips on greenhouses at one time.

Now it's rolling again (these festive days always bring the flow of goods to such an unpleasant standstill 
)
- the posties in the UK in particular have delayed some pieces quite a bit.
First of all, a very nice piece from a fellow forum member "Up North":
Let's see how that good piece comes back, I've been lucky with similar rust-grades before, I think the pitting is not too deep yet ...
It is really remarkable, given the external appearance, that the mechanism works so smoothly, the ratchet is the most pleasant thing I have heard and felt on such a device so far.
While we're on the subject of measuring: I have finally made an expenditure that has always been too high for me ... and would still be too high if this favourable opportunity hadn't jumped out at me:
Not the most extensive, but a complete set of gauge blocks, all in very good condition - as can be seen from Soviet production.
One should not underestimate measuring instruments from the USSR, there was and still is rampant corruption and other irregularities (entire army units that only exist on paper because some officers completely pocket their maintenance costs), but what measuring equipment has left the factories - in large quantities also through the back door - cannot easily be faulted in terms of quality.
Of course, the cushioning foam in the lid of this box was not spared from foam death either, but here, for once, before I had received the object - someone had already completely removed the foam residue crumbs.
And then a parcel arrived from Manchester - with no connection to the forum.
A quick adjustment machine vice with clamping lever mechanism.
You can actually call the thing a machine vice with some justification, there are fastening lugs for screwing it down, the holding force is impressive with lightning-fast operation at the same time - however, it will probably be more at home on the pillar drill than on the milling machine.
Actually, this specimen was intended as a restoration object, but after cleaning and generous oiling, there was nothing left to do now, it's too nice ...
... ok, you could replace the two plastic handles, they are not nice anymore - let's see, the passionate collectors of old tube radios have such tricks for re-casting control knobs, which is supposed to be quite easy if you still have the original knobs to mould ...
And because you don't like to travel alone, a handy little ring-and-mouth spanner was also included.

I know, I've got some of their lenses. Optically fine, some of the mechanisms, not so much.

FF Nikon kit completed. Not bothering with AF lenses for this, as I have a drawerful of Tamron manual SPs and the Canon has got several AF lenses now, so don't need it for this.
Finally got my hands on a Metz Digital potato masher for reasonable money. Ironically, I'd already picked up the adaptor and cable when I saw it as NOS @ B&H. Damned if the gun didn't come with them anyway. Oh well, nothing wrong with having spares.
I'd bought the Nikon purely to use old F-mount lenses I had kicking around in the first place, so I'm happy enough with the way it performs.
That Metz gun talks nicely to the cameras and I get what seems to be full iTTL with it. Excellent controllability, and even without eel eck trickery twixt cam and masher, the basic auto-exposure settings on the gun itself provide good results.

It's been planed by @pressbrake1 so pretty flat, scraping takes it to the next level

Funny, but not science fiction, about times before 1991. After the collapse of the USSR, thousands of factories went to scrap entirely. Something, the smallest crumbs, smart people took away for free, and they are trading in the remnants of the past to this day.

I picked up a couple of specially made easy lift centre stands, one for my 55 Matchless single and one for my 55 AJS twin, just to paint them.
The wife's uncle also handed in a Cordura BMW motorcycle jacket that he bought a few years ago, but was too big, fits me, though not sure about it.
