Can someone draw the driver a diagram so he can figure out what an apex is? It seems like its an accident when he clips an apex, rather than when he misses one.

Can we confirm if its an R8? Audi races them at Le Mans, and a hillclimb seems a bit tight for a car designed to do over 370km/hr down the Mulsanne Straight. And it doesn't sound like a 3.6L twin turo V8.

It looks more like a Westfield / Radical car to me...and if it had a worked bike engine then it would swallow gears like that.

Don't know about all the spectators standing pretty well on the road though as he comes blasting through... couldn't think of anything more dangerous

How about Rally, where the spectators / photographers stand on the course, jumping out of the way only when the car approaches?

dont be too hard on the poor guy scathing! I would say he's not a pro driver, more just an owner/driver enthusiast. He does move his hand around the wheel alot which suggests to me that he hasn't had a lot of experience in prototypes or open wheelers. I didn't think he was doing too badly overall. yes he is pretty wide a lot of the time but that may be for safety as much as anything and it may be the quickest way through the course in a car like that. it certainly is an awesome hill climb course that's for sure.

Hey, if it was me in that thing you could probably drive another open wheeler between me and the apexes :wub:

I probably wouldn't be posting it all over the Internet though. :D

But that hillclimb looks a lot more fun than Huntley, which is the only hillclimb I've ever done. I'd love a crack in it in my car.

You would use a totally different line when raciong down a open road by yourself, compared to racing on a track with a need to defend a racing line.

His Class time on the day would decide if his good or not.

And the biggest difference between a hillclimb and a circuit is how many laps you get to do in a row :angry: this run is pretty long/lots of corners it would take a while to learn perfectly.

But after doing a few hundred laps of a track you could do it inch perfect in your sleep

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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)
