Little S800 project

This years "Braveheart Award" goes to my friend Manfred T. who wants to resurrect this little Honda S800 and motivate it with a 150hp Blackbird motorcycle engine. Neither the very questionable condition of the car, nor the fact that Manfred is almost 7 ft. tall and wont fit in the little screamer, will stop him. Good luck with your rice!

Turbine News

My partner Peter is developing a new turbine wheel for a 10-15kw industrial application Turboshaft engine. The hot section wheels are milled 5-axis HSC from Nimonic turbine steel at our shop. There are current works on a digital mockup and a preproduction model should be running next year. Using latest 5-axis HSC technologies, we are able to mill one piece turbine and compressor wheels from exotic materials like aircraft aluminum, titan and high temperature super-alloy. Diameter 30-300mm

Status 440 Swap '72 Charger

The bigblock 440 is sitting now in the Chargers enginebay. Hooker Super
Competition headers fit quite well. 727 tranny is still out of car. The
transmission tunnel was welded too small during former rustrepairs. I
have to say that the hole car is a piece of crap. I have not seen one
part where I can say whow this one looks nice. Bad chrome, bad interior,
no options, 4 drums without power, 14" wheels, .....
Buhuuu... I am really sad to put my nice little 440 in that car.

Is there anybody out saying "money stinks" ?!
