If you want to try for a group booking, Rebecca, Mark and I will come - I deliberately didn't put my name down earlier because I didn't want to clash with a race/track day.

BTW fastest time of day yesterday at Oran Park in the GTR, but sh!t my muscles are sore today after 200km of racing.

Ok we're booked for 10. maximum per race. Please everyone show up :P as they'll refuse anyone else now that might want to race with us.

Need to show up 1:45 to do the formalities etc, ie pay and sign the disclaimer, on the track at 2pm, for 10 min race, then the other group gets a go, and we have a race after, 3pm onwards is open atm if we want more races, but that may change come sunday.

Was heaps of fun, wish i could of been there for the first session to kick marks arse but hey there is always next time.

I dont think reece should be aloud to have number 9 next time its to unfair, i think next time we put him in the slowest then if he starts beating us its our own falt.

Dam you mark cutting me off :(

Yeah I had fun as well, wouldn't mind having a go again, but not straight away, When people start getting the itch again so to speak, post it up and I'd be up for another. Do people think two races were enough? Or next time do you want more?

Sorry thomas btw for you and reece missing the first race, didn't check my mobile until later, and we had to go on at 2pm as the other party was set to go at 2:15 or so.

Was funny to see the kids knock the wheel off one of the karts with all their hits lol.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
