If your not into footy, there is motorsport a plenty on Sept 27/28th at Baskerville. Huge 2 day event. Check the local papers later in the week for details.

I myself hope to back on the pace in Targa B, although I said that last time!!! I lost 10kws (190) last time there and couldnt crack 62 secs, where with 200kws that I now have again I can do low 61 secs, which is where I need to be in order to fight for wins (here's hoping)

Its been a tough and expensive year chasing power and fixing problems and I hope that this weekend brings joy instead of sorrow. But thats motor racing as they say in the classics.

Hope to see some of you there.

I'll be there as a spectator only as the car has some technical issues.

There will be about 30 HQ's on the track this weekend, ( HQ nationals round ) plus the Tas Super Series guys and their racers.

practice day is on the Friday.

Go the mighty Hawks!

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
