I'm a huge fan of the Engine Oil Bypass[^]. Oil is getting so expensive, this will save thousands!

I love the Piston Return Spring, but it's going to be a costly mod:
"Rotary engines require install of pistons for full compatibility."
I think I'm going to have to put them under the back "seats" to maintain balance. That's OK though, it won't make riding in the back any less fun. The gas tank is going to have to go on the roof, but that shouldn't be a problem since it's usually almost empty.

RX-8, used to have an RX-7. The NSU is a cool car as long as you don't try to get it moving or keep it working. I saw a video of Jay Leno driving one once and when he tried to get it going: "it's got nothing below 3,000 RPMs, NOTHING!" Sadly, rotary engines haven't changed much in that regard.

This[^] would have been fun - though I suspect rather greedy on the 4-star...certainly the wankel engined bikes I have ridden - Norton and Suzuki but I never owned either - were rapid but...um...fragile and thirsty.

Wow, I knew that there was a rotary-powered Corvette concept, but I didn't know Mercedes built one.
Those rotary street bikes are scary, like strapping a gas turbine to your butt, insane power-to-weight ratio.

Wow, Leno is nuts!
This has inspired me, I'm going to build a turbo-prop street car. Should put an end to jaywalking, pedestrians gonna respect.

Now, this[^] is what I call strapping a gas turbine to the butt.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Nice! I think this[^] might be useful, but it's a bit pricey!

I seem to have agreed to build my wife a wardrobe. We looked at various flat pack options and basically they're shyte; nothing provides what is needed. The wardrobe will be a simple 240cm x 120cm x 60cm box; going by board sizes and the room available. Inside will be two hanging rails, top and middle. That's it.
Now I get to sit back and listen to you lot arguing. What wood should I use? MDF or MFC seem to be the ones recommended and both get dissed by the fanboyz of the other. I am also open to using real wood type stuff, but that may prove a bit expensive. Then there is the joints; any ideas on what would be best? If anyone has any experience with this, I want to know your ideas, tips and put-falls.
Pretty please. With a chocolate.

If you have any woodworking skills, which if you don't think twice about making one yourself, real wood. They look better, feel better, smell better, and everything else. I would suggest something with cedar involved, even if it is just the interior. It helps keep moisture down, smells nice, and doesn't transfer its oils to your clothes.
All that said, I wouldn't trust myself to cut two boards in a straight line without the proper tools. Handsaws can't hack it for me, I always twist the grip just enough to prevent it from being flush.

Moths, moisture, silverfish, lots of benefits, plus I really like the smell of cedar.
My mother was given my paternal grandmother's cedar chest when she passed. There are blankets, quilts, and other fabrics in there older than I am some older than my father, still in perfect condition.

We have my grandmother's camphor wood chest, it has similar properties. Plus the stuff smells nice.

Only problem with Cedar is it's expensive, hard to find good wood to work with and is hard to work tends to splinter. If you do work with it your blades need to be exceedingly sharp.
I love the smell of cedar and love working with it but it's a PITA.

Agreed on the splintering problem, although to be honest that was another reason I liked it. Most of my "work" with cedar involved splitting it, stripping the bark to use as a starter and then building a fire with it when I was backpacking.

Yeah I backpack a lot also and it will start a fire real well but burns too quickly, by the time you get the beans out the fires out.
