While doing some work I found my front guard was cracked under the fork brace. Im going to repaint anyway as its...

    Totally Pointless, but cool DIY coffee table...

    DIY Dyno build

    Think I have committed myself to building a dyno lol. We'll have some testing to do with our supercharger setup and I think it would come in handy for sure. There's quite a bit of info about doing it all so I'll get started soon by buying some steel etc. I'll document the project as I go.

    Someone close to me is selling a sand blasting cabinet and a powder coating system. I'm wondering if anyone does their own coating, and how easy it is to figure it out and do it properly. This might be a dumb question but can you use the same oven you cook food with to cure p/c? I guess I'm...
