Today I acquired...........

[Memmeddu]

This week has been little expensive
Bought this cylinder head for the FIAT 126 TURBO project
300 euros
It's from a fiat panda 30 (2 cylinder 30HP )
Bought because its double ported intake ,34.5 mm intake valves ,30mm exhaust valves
Original 126p and 500 are 30mm intake and 28mm exhaust single port intake 28mm carb .
It's a good starting point for a custom head but requires a better cooling , because they tend to crack between the valves this it's not.
Keeping the engine complete stock just this head should make it 30hp , gaining 8hp from original which is 36.6% more power than stock
I'll do porting job , change exhaust valves maybe because of heat evacuation .
I might initially not modify the engine displacement.

Then this morning I've asked for renting a car for a wedding.
They wants 10k euros caution ,we are considering other options

Then I've bought this 230 euros
It has to be adjusted to my physic few weeks before the wedding cause I want to look great for the occasion

Screw looks identical to a monkeybar frame in the back of our fumehoods at uni. It is used to attach all kinds of equipment and glassware, but we don't have burners like that.
