Could it be one of those brake cover thingys ? Cause these days u can purchase a brake cover to make it look like brembos, ap, wilwood etc. Cause from far they seem to look real.

that was the one!

interior was nice, and the big brakes + rims is what caught my eye, but upon further inspection i saw the mis-matched calipers..

and they were real keefy.. they were huge, and real.

(getting up at 5:30am on a monday for work sucks :))

While I didn't think the show was worth the $16 entry fee I still thought the show was OK. I loved the turbo charged NSX on display, but my favourite was XSpeed's NSX with the carbon fibre body kit. Sooo cool! I was a bit dissapointed in the turn out of Supras; the ads I've heard state that there are 'Supras' but there was only one (which I'd seen before, maybe it was just on the day that I went). I also loved the Evo IX's that were there (even though they were mainly stock) and the few RX7's that turned up were pretty cool.

speaking of car shows, whens auto salon, is sauwa putin a display in this year...

SAUWA has entered AutoSalon for the last few years, and will continue to do so if there is sufficient interest from the club members. Entering car shows requires alot of time and effort to organise, not to mention the cost.

We haven't entered Autoteknica this year as AutoSalon isn't far away, and seems to get a better showing, but if people are interested in showing there cars for future events then feel free to PM me your interest. SAUWA will happily support it's members entering any of the shows/comps providing there is enough interest.

Cheers

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
