Radiused rhombus

I'm going to assume this is a joke

[NafemanNathan]

Sorry, did I spell radius'd wrong?

[Donald]

No, you spelled radius right, but you don't know what a rhombus is

Are you thinking of a kite? I was always taught in school that a kite and a rhombus are the same thing, but that is incorrect. A kite can only be a called rhombus if it is also a parallelogram, the shape were talking about has the properties of a trapezium. We could always compromise on a radiused kite though.

[NafemanNathan]

Yeah, meant trapezoid... It's been 16 years for me at least

I've always just called a rhombus a parallelogram and therefore remembered a rhombus to be "the other one" (What turns out to be a trapezoid... Although I really don't remember learning that word at school )

Anyway, sorry Mudgey

EDIT: It's also a radiused isoceles triangle

haha, we now have a new resident expert on random shapes!

Not many pictures to show today, but I have been up to the following:

1. Pulled the engine out.
2. Cleaned the box.
3. Fitted the clutch, release bearing, fork & gbox back onto the engine.
4. Tucked any random wires in the engine bay.
5. Fitted my welded subframe back onto the car.
6. Soldered together some wires I accidently cut, oops!
7. Started wrapping my header to reduce underbonnet temps.
8. Tested my MPG gauge on my mates car - works well!





The gauge is awesome, hooked it up to my mates car and went for a spin. It gives you instantaneous MPG, average, distance to empty, time to empty and will also show any fault codes the ECU is throwing. It also picks up all sensors on the motor and you can configure the screen to show anything.

Ohhh that's nice

[gb-lude]

Absolutely awsome build. Really love this project!
Curious what the output and handling will be when its done! Keep it up!

[Mudgey]

Its been a busy saturday again, I got some more wiring done, the double din head unit gauge panel etc in, original exhaust welded and fitted (to get it going), header wrapped, charger almost fitted for the last time, one drive shaft on, and ordered up a k24 intermediate shaft which means I should be able to fit the other original prelude shaft. This should see me through until I can order up a set of the Hasport drive shafts, apparently they only fit the k24, but now I have the k24 intermediate shaft they will bolt straight up. Not a lot left to do now!
