not kidding my workspace is an absolute mess since this engine drama back in Jan along with the crazy hours of the new company.

my workspace is basically a storage bin for all my parents vintage crap (old restaurant stuff, tables, VCRs, heater cabinets, plumbings, glass, etc) and all my tools n parts are in there somewhere in a tiny space. bit like ur shed chris.

since the engine drama I had engine bits all over, spare broken engines here there, grinding dust n rubbish all over, cardboard bins full, loadsa oily rags. I have an order of where tools n stuff goes into boxes/tubs and would put all tools back (unlike my parents who leaves the tools around the house which fizzes my blood) but with the intense workload of the new company, no time n effort to clear up, crap builds over time.

now with the car up n running, work kinda stabilizing and summer appearing, I'll soon have a "stop it and tidy up" moment

slightly better now Paul haha. I can under stand that. Since moving and the rather rapid progression of the turbo restoration and shell gutting. The space has piled up to mountains / piles of everything. I didn't really organise anything since moving in to the new place. Sophia is like that use the tools and throw them anywhere so I cannot find them. Yeah I used to have a place for things... I moved and then I didn't. Now I do. So yay I suppose we will all get there. Might be a good idea for you to take a break from fiddling with the car and tidy the workspace. It has given me somewhat of a boost to fixing/starting the project again. I demand to see before and after photos of you man cave. Maybe we should start a thread in peoples man caves?

Sure is ;) no, it's the beginning of my experiment to finally put the 'are cut springs stiffer?' debate to bed! I'm 99% sure they are but my course mate will not listen to maths or reason... And Google is just full of bull**** assumptions and no evidence.

It's not Google's fault, it's down purely to 'ID10t' errors :rolleyes: I wager that even if you post up undeniable evidence on utoob, you'll still get a bunch of cretins posting up how you faked it in some fashion.

Purely as a joke, we should make up some kind of novelty JAE t-shirt sporting Hooke's Law ;)
 
im sure he did as i gave him way out he wasnt paying attention,looking at the dished steels for a moment then sped off on the motorbike,while i was shouting at him about whats he doing on a bike :) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,killing traffic

Princess?.... o_O *shudders* :p

My "work" space (Wo-Man Cave) is that spot where I park out the back of the house...next to my dad's garage..
...which is full of tools...various
...our Shed also full of tools ....and wheels...various
...as is the conservatory...although the only wheels in there are my 4 spare "16's ^_^

BTW...No pictures...it's pissin' it down outside, and I can't be bothered right now :D

I make lots of ID10t errors when it comes to compression and tension. You should see me attempting to resolve stresses in a frame lol. But yes, spring rate is inversely proportional to number of active coils, simple as. Active coils go down, spring rate goes up.

I think (but not sure) that a spring can be treated as a beam in bending and torsion. Which would mean that the length of the 'beam' (length of spring wire) will have an effect on the spring constant.
 
Its about the rate at which compression induces torsion into the wire. More coils means the wire twists less per length of displacement, so spring rate goes down.

yeah no doubt!! will be following this thread closely till then :)

Rightly so. I think once the 29th of July hits, you will be seeing a lot of progress happening. Actually maybe a few days later... I plan on making up for the sleep I have lost over the last year.
 
And so the SirChris set forth in the world to purchase many many thing. The lord was good that day and said to SirChris, the Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chinchillas. The lord was pleased with what he saw, and he said it was good. O'lord, SirChris bellowed to the sky, what will you haveth me do. The lord reached down from the heavens clutching many things and said "SirChris, taketh this New CG13DE 13K engine and Standard Gearbox and Rebuilt CG13DE Gearbox with Gripper LSD and placeth on said Chariot Tubby of war and go forth and kill evil thy follow ye up motorway." The lord waseth pleased with SirChris's Weapon and thought it was good.
 
Well isn't this fun. Will pick the running gear up in a few weeks its all paid for. Need to paint the stuff and get them in. Debating a wire tuck

Probably... Another thing I haven't done in ages lol. Some of it will just need relocating though, I was looking in my bay yesterday thinking about it. There's not actually much to hide.
 
Oh it will be lol, just considering how little is in the bay anyway once the batteries gone I'm not sure it'd make much difference...
