My thoughts? Just desserts for driving like a wanker. That sort of chassis separation happens at much faster than any speed limit. He was probably driving on a freeway in europe that doesn't have a speed limit.

If i was him i wouldn't be buying a lotto ticket, he just used ALL his luck in that crash.

What you see is what you get, i.e. there was no cutting of the vehicle prior to the pictures being taken.

It is my brother-in-law that you see holding the mobile phone, he honestly doesn't know the speed that he was going at but wasn't near as fast as he has done in the past on that particular part of the road.Although the road was completely dry he said that it felt he was on ice and the car just careened into the tree. He actually called the emergency services and climbed out of the car by himself, he spent only a couple of hours in hospital, apart from a few minor scratches he got a bandage around his little finger, I told him if he's not already religious he should take it up ASAP!

The car WAS a pristine RS6 ABT, I was supposed to pick it up that very day to borrow it from him for a week as I've always wanted to try out the ABT version. He really should have simply told me that he didn't want me to drive his car I'm so happy he is alive and all in one piece.

This is the apparent link to the original forum post:

http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11342&page=2

But even with me signing up to rs6.com i still couldn't get the thread to load, so assuming its been deleted or something. I dunno. Can't access it.

Hmmm, roofing peeled away from pillars. No damage whatsoever to the rims. Looks to me like a poorly made chassis. :dry:

Normally the car "wraps" around the tree, or bends considerably before being ripped in half. There is no real visible "twist" in the chassis ... it just broke apart!

    • 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)
