I wouldnt mind a 916, find a Chalon kit, a 4.0 from a GT3...
Yeah, the 916 reset the bizzo.The 916 moved the goal posts.
It broke the mould. Reset the benchmark. Amazing, timeless bike.
I don't know what they're worth....?... but I would have assumed they were all silly money now?
Are there still cheap 916's around?

I seem to recall you've got a hydraulic press that you use with your dimple dies. Why not use it for sheetmetal bending? I do those sort of 90 degree (and more acute) bends on the press all of the time. Very easy to machine a punch out of some 10mm thick steel plate. Make it as long as your press and say 10-12cm high for clearance. Weld the dye from thick 90 degree angle welded to a baseplate at 45 deg....I had to do two bends the old fashioned way by clamping the material between two pieces of steel in the vise...
I do and have a bender that goes in the press. Three bend bends are done with that. The shortest distance from bend to bend is about 35mm. No way to do the joggle. My little pan brake cannot do 2mm so vise, shifter and hammer job for the middle.I seem to recall you've got a hydraulic press that you use with your dimple dies.

If its thin and delicate material I will use high durometer elastomer sheet on the underneath (without the lower V die).
Very easy to do this sort of stuff with impeccable control and no hammertime.
This pic sort of gives you the idea:
Tried all that, did a half bend next to it but ended up cutting in 6mm where I wanted the next bend because it would rather do a big radius than a tight bend and I couldnt get close enough to hammer it flat. I will press the bottom sections flat today since they curled a bit.Makes sense. Sometimes you can do the short stuff by sneaking up on it with a series of partial bends or by modifying the order of operations.
Noooooooooooo! It is bad shit. Temporary only unless it is my tractor.Anyone had success with tyre sealant? I’m fucking over flats.
Very nice! Love a good FC and they're definitely getting rare.Too many toys not enough space or time. Have owned the mazda for about 15 years, it has had many lives. First as a daily, then as a weekend hills car, fitted a half cage and did some motorkhana, track days and hill climbs, then the drifting craze came about and that was fun till I realised how much of a thrash it is on the car. Gave that up before i did any serious damage. I built the engine that's in it now and lost a bit of interest, but very slowly converting it back into a street car as they seem to be going up in value now. It needs paint and a bit of TLC as it had a bit of a hard life.
